Wakefield Home Prices Hold Above $800,000 Median in Busy June Market

WAKEFIELD -- Thirteen of 20 recorded property transfers in Wakefield during the period ending June 29 carried disclosed prices, with sales ranging from $344,000 to $1,080,000 and a median of $801,000, signaling strong demand at the upper end of the market.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Twenty deeds were recorded in Wakefield from May 31 through June 29, 2026. Of those, 13 included disclosed sale prices. The price range spans $344,000 to $1,080,000, with a median sale price of $801,000. Seven transfers carried no disclosed consideration — a common occurrence in deed records, particularly for trust-related conveyances. With 13 arm's-length or disclosed-price transactions recorded across roughly four weeks, the period reflects a moderately active month for the town.
• TOP SALES
• The month's highest-priced transaction was 17 Collins Rd., which sold for $1,080,000 on June 12. Frank W. Libardoni Jr. and Nancy J. Libardoni were the sellers; Ashley Victoria Davis and Jonathan Robert Davis were the buyers. A unit at 410 Salem St., Unit 402, followed at $999,999, also recorded June 12; seller Diana M. Eshelman conveyed the property to the Timothy W. Regan Revocable Trust. At 15 Walton St., Kristina M. Patt and Gertrude M. Encarnacao sold to William McKennon and Janet L. Burke for $985,000 on June 12. A sale recorded June 8 with no street address listed in the deed data fetched $925,000, with Chestnut LLC as seller and Zachary Bennedsen and Shaungxou Long as buyers. Rounding out the top five, 36 Pine Hill Cir. sold for $875,000 on June 2, with Zhi Zuo and Zhouyao Tian selling to Christian Geoffrey Doherty and Cayli Sadler.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Salem Street produced two disclosed-price sales: 410 Salem St. Unit 402 at $999,999 and 192 Salem St. at $855,000, making it the street with the highest combined volume among named corridors. Three sales fell above $1 million or within reach of it — Collins Rd., Salem St. Unit 402, and Walton St. — anchoring the upper tier. A middle cluster of five sales priced between $745,000 and $875,000 includes Nahant St., Pine Hill Cir., Vale Rd., and Pleasant St.-area properties. The lower tier consisted of two transactions: 6 Nelly St. Unit 1 at $595,000, 2 Savin Rd. at $625,000, and 894 Main St. Unit 8 at $685,000. The lone sale below $500,000 was 50 Tuttle St. Unit 12, which changed hands for $344,000 on June 1.
• MARKET NOTES
• Seven of the 20 recorded transfers appear to be conveyances from individuals into revocable trusts or family trusts — 31 Crystal St., 115 Pleasant St., 68 Bennett St., 231 Lowell St., 90 New Salem St., 13 Longbow Rd., and 22 Davey Ln. — all with no disclosed consideration. This pattern is typical of estate-planning activity and does not necessarily reflect open-market sales. The dataset includes at least two condominium or unit transactions (410 Salem St. Unit 402, 894 Main St. Unit 8, 6 Nelly St. Unit 1, 21 Herbert St. Unit B, and 50 Tuttle St. Unit 12), suggesting condos represent a meaningful share of recorded activity. The $344,000 sale at 50 Tuttle St. Unit 12 was the clear low-end outlier, priced $401,000 below the next-lowest disclosed transaction.
