Wakefield Home Prices Cluster Above $800K as June Median Hits $865,500

WAKEFIELD -- Residential property sales in Wakefield recorded a strong showing in early to mid-June 2026, with 18 deeds recorded and a median sale price of $865,500 among the 12 transactions that disclosed a price. Three sales reached or exceeded $1 million, anchoring a month that skewed decidedly toward the higher end of the market.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Eighteen deeds were recorded in Wakefield between June 6 and July 5, 2026, with sale prices disclosed on 12 of those transactions. Among disclosed sales, prices ranged from $625,000 to $1,080,000, with a median of $865,500. Only one sale fell below $700,000, and more than half of the disclosed transactions came in at or above $800,000, indicating the period's activity was concentrated in the upper price tiers. The six undisclosed transactions include several that appear to be intra-family or trust transfers.
• TOP SALES
• The month's highest-priced transaction was 17 Collins Rd., which sold June 12 for $1,080,000. Frank W. Libardoni Jr. and Nancy J. Libardoni were the sellers; Ashley Victoria Davis and Jonathan Robert Davis were the buyers. Two sales tied at $1,000,000: a transaction at 20 W. Park Dr., recorded June 16, where Christopher J. Tannian and Sally A. Tannian sold to Yang Liu and Chiunju Shih; and a separate transaction recorded the same day with no street address listed in the deed data, in which Wakefield Living LLC and Jean Reposa sold to Diane Reposa, price not disclosed for the address portion, though the $1,000,000 figure was recorded. A unit at 410 Salem St., Unit 402, sold June 12 for $999,999; Diana M. Eshelman was the seller and Timothy W. Regan Revocable Trust was the buyer. Rounding out the top five, 15 Walton St. sold June 12 for $985,000, with Kristina M. Patt and Gertrude M. Encarnacao selling to William McKennon and Janet L. Burke.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Salem Street produced two disclosed condo sales: Unit 402 at 410 Salem St. fetched $999,999 and Unit 1310 at the same address sold for $780,000 on the same date, June 12, suggesting active movement at that building. Foundry Street contributed one sale, with 62 Foundry St., Unit 409, a condo unit at the Wakefield Living LLC development, going for $930,000 on June 16. Among single-address sales, the $800,000-and-above tier included Collins Road ($1,080,000), West Park Drive ($1,000,000), Walton Street ($985,000), Nahant Street ($801,000), and Foundry Street ($930,000). The $700,000-$799,000 tier included Ludlow Avenue ($750,000), Herbert Street ($745,000), and Salem Street Unit 1310 ($780,000). Two sales fell below $700,000: Ballister Street Unit 428 ($651,000) and Savin Road ($625,000).
• MARKET NOTES
• The dataset includes a notable cluster of trust-related and apparent intra-family transfers among the six undisclosed-price transactions: 272 Albion St. transferred from Dana P. Shaughnessy to a Shaughnessy grantor trust; 7 Spruce St. and 7 Spruce St. Lot B both transferred from John J. and Rosemary Sullivan to Rosemary Sullivan alone; 31 Crystal St. moved from Robert A. and Lucilia M. Costello to themselves as trustees; and 115 Pleasant St. transferred from William G. and Arianne C. Kidder to a Kidder revocable trust. These transfers follow a common estate-planning pattern but no motivation should be inferred. Among the arm's-length sales, condominiums and townhouse-style units, Ballister Street, Foundry Street, Herbert Street, and two Salem Street units, accounted for five of the 12 disclosed transactions, reflecting a meaningful condo presence in Wakefield's June market mix alongside single-family sales.
