Ayer June Home Sales Cluster in Mid-Market Band, Median Reaches $551,000

AYER -- A property at 5 Lilac Lane led Ayer's June residential market with a $980,000 sale, topping a month that saw 18 recorded transactions, though prices were disclosed in only 10 of those transfers.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Eighteen deeds were recorded in Ayer between May 31 and June 29, 2026, making it a moderately active period by raw count. Of those, 10 carried disclosed sale prices ranging from $330,000 to $980,000, yielding a median of $551,000. The eight transfers without disclosed prices limit the full picture of market activity, and several of those appear to involve trust reorganizations or intra-family restructuring rather than arm's-length sales.
• TOP SALES
• 5 Lilac Lane sold June 18 for $980,000; sellers Artemio Calvillo and Robert McDermott conveyed the property to Nisheeth and Neelam Shrivastava. Close behind, 3 Mountain Laurel Road changed hands June 11 for $902,000, with the Phillips Family Trust selling to Ravi Rajshekar Hiremath and Netra Mathada Kadalolli. At 83 Pleasant St., Rory and Stephanie K. Dodd sold to R. Dodd and Hunter D. Thoen on June 23 for $900,000, a transaction that shares buyer and seller surnames. Rounding out the top tier, 51 Old Farm Way sold June 11 for $850,000; sellers Christy and Colin Monahan conveyed the property to Jessica Elizabeth Pazienza and Matthew Robert Duong.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Two transactions on Pleasant Street were recorded June 23 -- the $900,000 sale at No. 83 and a price-not-disclosed transfer at the unaddressed 0 Pleasant St. parcel -- making it the only street with multiple entries this period. Sales in the $500,000-$600,000 range clustered on East Main Street ($555,000), Sandy Pond Road ($547,000), Atherton Street ($525,000), and Brook Street ($519,000), forming a mid-market band of four transactions within a roughly $36,000 spread. The lone entry below $500,000 was the unit sale at 1 Markham Circle, Unit 1D, which recorded at $330,000 and appears to be a condominium based on the unit designation. At 4 Vernon Street, a $485,000 sale sits just below that mid-market cluster.
• MARKET NOTES
• Of the 18 recorded transfers, at least three involve apparent trust or ownership-structure changes with no consideration disclosed: 55 Littleton Road Unit 3D (Steven Buono to the Buono family trusts), 10 Oak Grove Street (DeWalt to DeWalt trustees), and 7 Mulberry Circle (Maly to Maly, with buyer and seller names reversed). The June 23 cluster of seven recordings in a single day -- several tied to the Moore and Moore-related entities across multiple addresses including 0 Washington St., 1 Rattlesnake Dr., and an unlisted Ayer address -- suggests a coordinated commercial or estate transaction rather than individual residential sales; none carried disclosed prices. The unit designation at 1 Markham Circle and 55 Littleton Road indicates at minimum two condominium-type transfers among the 18. The four mid-market single-family sales between $519,000 and $555,000 suggest a reasonably defined price band for that segment during the period.
