Waltham June Deeds Show $1.23M Top Sale but Scant Price Disclosure Overall

WALTHAM -- A condominium unit at 198 Lowell St. sold for $1,230,000 in early June, leading a month in which only three of 12 recorded transactions carried disclosed sale prices.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Twelve deeds were recorded in Waltham between May 31 and June 29, 2026, but just three included consideration amounts, limiting the picture of market-wide pricing. Among those three disclosed sales, prices ranged from $615,000 to $1,230,000, with a median of $750,000. The high proportion of undisclosed prices — nine of 12 transfers — reflects the prevalence of trust, estate, and intra-family conveyances in this period rather than arm's-length market transactions. Drawing broad market conclusions from three data points would not be warranted.
• TOP SALES
• The highest disclosed sale was 198 Lowell St. Unit 1, which changed hands June 3 for $1,230,000. Francine R. Guttman and Brian M. Cooley were the sellers; Peter Fortin was the buyer. An address listed only as Waltham, without a street, sold June 5 for $750,000; sellers were Oommen Mora A. and Parag Patel, and buyers were William Cassels and Susannah H. Cassels. The lowest disclosed sale, 222 College Farm Rd., recorded June 2 at $615,000, transferred from Matthew Richard Baker to Liza Jacquelyn Welch.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• The three priced sales are spread across distinct locations: a Lowell Street condominium unit at the top of the range, an unspecified address in the middle tier, and a College Farm Road property at the lower end. Two entries reference 26 Rosewood Dr. — recorded on the same date, June 1 — reflecting a sequential transfer pattern consistent with a trust restructuring rather than two separate market sales. No other street appears more than once in the dataset.
• MARKET NOTES
• The majority of June's recorded deeds — nine of 12 — involve transfers to trusts or between family members, including conveyances on Chatham Lane, Waverley Oaks Road, Bishops Forest Drive, Boynton Street, Pine Vale Road, Rosewood Drive, and Barbara Road. These transactions are legal conveyances but do not represent open-market sales and carry no disclosed consideration. The one confirmed condominium sale, 198 Lowell St. Unit 1, is notable as the month's single highest-priced transaction. Property types cannot be fully determined from deed records alone, but the Lowell Street entry is identified as a condominium unit; the remaining properties with addresses appear to be residential parcels.
