Lincoln Home Sales Median Clears $1M as Spring Market Closes Above Asking Norms
LINCOLN -- The Lincoln residential market posted a $2,460,000 top sale and a median price above $1 million for the late-spring recording period ending June 26, 2026, as 10 of 14 recorded transfers carried disclosed prices.
- MARKET OVERVIEW
- Fourteen deeds were recorded between May 28 and June 26, 2026, of which 10 carried disclosed sale prices ranging from $500,000 to $2,460,000. The median among those 10 priced transactions was $1,007,500. The remaining four transfers had no disclosed consideration and appear to reflect trust or intra-family restructurings rather than arm's-length sales. Ten priced transactions over a roughly four-week span represents a moderate level of activity for a small town like Lincoln.
- TOP SALES
- The month's highest recorded price was $2,460,000 for 123 Lincoln Rd., sold June 25 by Christopher W. and Carrie Stamos to Debra L. Gettelman and Robert E. Koelzer. The second-highest sale was 45 Weston Rd., which traded June 26 for $2,311,000; Neil B. Middleton and Susan Allen conveyed the property to Layne and Kimberly Ainsworth. Third was 15 Mackintosh Ln., which closed June 17 at $2,020,000, with Nicholas A. Covino Jr., trustee of a revocable trust, selling to Magdalena Kuenkel and Zachary M. Ruff. Fourth was 134 Sandy Pond Rd., recorded June 11 at $1,681,861, transferring from trustees Selina G. and W. Allen Rossiter to Kelly Boehner and Stephen Grimes. Rounding out the top five, 37 Lincoln Rd. sold May 28 for $1,195,000, conveyed by trustee Laura J. Olson to Ethan Kraus and Ruth E. McBain.
- NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
- Lincoln Road produced two of the period's priced sales — 123 Lincoln Rd. at $2,460,000 and 37 Lincoln Rd. at $1,195,000 — making it the street with the most transaction activity among named roads this period. The North Commons condominium complex also saw two sales: 12 N. Commons Unit R at $700,000 and 8 North Commons Unit 8C at $500,000, placing both in the $500,000–$750,000 tier. The remaining priced transactions span a wide range: 45 Weston Rd. ($2,311,000), 15 Mackintosh Ln. ($2,020,000), and 134 Sandy Pond Rd. ($1,681,861) all cleared $1.5 million, while 34 Morningside Ln. ($820,000) and 152 Chestnut Cir. Unit 2 ($725,000) fell in the $700,000–$900,000 mid-tier. One transaction — recorded at $800,000 with the City of Cambridge as buyer — lacked a street address in the deed data.
- MARKET NOTES
- The dataset includes at least two condominium-unit sales (North Commons), suggesting a mix of property types, though deed records do not specify property type for the remaining transactions. Four of the 14 recorded transfers — 64 Baker Bridge Rd., 36 Hemlock Cir., 172 Trapelo Rd., and 139 Bedford Rd. — show grantors and grantees with matching surnames or involve a trust taking the place of an individual grantor of the same name; these transactions carry no disclosed consideration. The $800,000 sale to the City of Cambridge, recorded June 18 with no street address, is atypical for a residential roundup and may represent a land or open-space acquisition; the deed record contains no further detail.
