Stone Ridge 2019 sales report

What sold well at Stone Ridge in 2019

Buyers paid premium prices in 2019 for Stone Ridge townhomes that had updated interiors. Buyers also bid high on units with features in high demand.

Of the highest prices paid in 2019, three went to units with first floor master bedrooms; this is one the the most in-demand features for townhomes in the Greater Franklin region. Older buyers avidly seek townhomes with one-level living.  They find Stone Ridge especially appealing because prices there are well-below new-construction condo prices and because Stone Ridge units offer basements and  many units there have attached garages.

Lowest priced units in 2019

Lowest prices were paid in 2019 for Stone Ridge townhomes that lacked updating.

Both of the townhomes that sold at the lowest prices of the year at Stone Ridge had original kitchens and baths.  Both also had detached garages that lacked direct access to the interior of the homes.

Sales volume falls in 2019

Ten Stone Ridge townhomes sold in 2019 according to the data maintained by MLS-PIN.

It was a decline from the seventeen transactions that took place in each of the prior two years.  But 2019’s sale volume was roughly in line with the varied annual sales totals running back to 2010.  2019’s sales total does not appear to denote any slackening of demand for Stone Ridge townhomes.

The average sale price at Stone Ridge now stands thirty-seven percent higher than it was back in 2011.

2019’s rebound was from an uncharacteristically weak showing during the first half of 2018.  The average price for the first six months of 2018 had been artificially depressed by the mix of units that sold: of the six units that changed hands during the first half of 2018, three sold at low prices that brought the six-month average sale price down.  (One was a distress sale and the other two were small units with detached garages.)  As 2018 progressed and with more unit sales in the overall mix, the average sale price at Stone Ridge rebounded nicely by the end of 2018.  Indeed, at year’s end, the average sale price at Stone Ridge stood at a thirteen year high.

Sales at Stone Ridge during the first half of 2019

Below are all the Stone Ridge townhomes that sold during the first six months of the year:

Top sale of the year to date

At $330,000, 118 Stone Ridge Rd is the highest-priced Stone Ridge condo to sell during first half of 2019.

This unit offered 1,484 sq ft on the two main living levels plus an additional 407 sf in the spacious third floor loft.  The basement was unfinished.  The condo showed well and offered many updates and an attached garage.  A winner!

Lowest-priced sale during the first half of 2019

65 Stone Ridge Rd presents something of an enigma: asking $280,000, it had an updated interior yet it sold for a discounted price of $261,000.

Unit 65 offered 1,240 sq ft on two living levels.  The basement was unfinished and the garage was detached with no direct entry.  But the kitchen was updated and there was extensive bamboo flooring. However, access for showings was limited, and the photography used in marketing was at times disadvantaged.

The average sale price of condos at Stone Ridge fell nearly 8% during the first 6 months of 2018, compared to the average sale price there a year ago.  Given how strong the Massachusetts real estate market has been in 2018, the sharp price decline at this popular condo community in Franklin, MA seems downright puzzling.  However, a closer look at the makeup of first half 2018 sales at Stone Ridge shows that the average sale price statistic is creating a very misleading read on the direction of values at Stone Ridge.

The sale of one distress sale and two small units skewed average sale price down

The average price at Stone Ridge fell so much during the first half of the year because of the mix of units that changed hands. 6 units at Stone Ridge sold during the first half of 2018.  Of those 6 condos, one was a vacant unit that needed extensive renovations and another two were small, lower priced units. 

The relatively low prices paid for these 3 units skewed the average sale price down.

You can view all 6 sales at Stone Ridge during the first half of the year by following the link at left or in the image below:

Pending sales give more accurate take on direction of values at Stone Ridge

Several of the townhome sales at Stone Ridge that are currently “pending” more clearly indicate the direction prices at Stone Ridge: prices are rising rapidly at Stone Ridge in 2018!

(‘Pending” is a real estate term that might mean slightly different things in different parts of the country.  When a home for sale goes “pending” in MA, it typically means that the seller has accepted an offer on the property.  The Bay State employs a two-step sale process:  First an “offer” is accepted, then a more full fledged contract called a “Purchase and Sale Agreement” is signed by buyer and seller after the home inspection is performed.  So in Massachusetts, a pending sale is simply one that has a signed purchase contract.  But the title to the property has not yet changed hands, and the purchase price the parties have agreed to has not yet been paid.  This will take place later at the “closing.”)

While we do not yet know the agreed-on purchase prices of these pending sales, the asking prices for 2 of these 3 pending units are significantly higher than the asking price for any other unit at Stone Ridge over the last 10 years!  So instead of falling, as indicated by the average sale price for the first half of the year, unit prices at Stone Ridge are actually on the rise – and strongly so!
