Aquinnah's Only Priced Sale of the Period Closes at $225,000

AQUINNAH -- Two property transfers were recorded at the Dukes County Registry of Deeds for Aquinnah between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, a limited sample that offers only a partial picture of the local market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Two sales were recorded during the period. One carries a recorded price, $225,000; the other's price is not yet available. Based on the single recorded price, the range and median both stand at $225,000. With only one priced transaction, these figures should not be read as representative of the broader Aquinnah market this period. Two recorded transfers is a small number on its own; no conclusion about market pace can be drawn from count alone.

TOP SALES The property at 22 Old South Road sold for $225,000 on Sept. 9. Old South Road LLC was the seller; Martha's Vineyard Bank was the buyer. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

A second transfer in Aquinnah, recorded Sept. 15, did not include a street address in the deed data, only the town. Its price is not yet available. The grantor and grantee listings show Healing and the Martha's Vineyard Commission on both sides of the transaction, suggesting a transfer between the same parties rather than a conventional sale to an unrelated buyer; the deed data does not specify the nature of the transfer further.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN With only two recorded transfers and one lacking a street address, no street-level or neighborhood pattern can be identified this period. The one priced sale, on Old South Road, falls in the under-$500,000 tier.

MARKET NOTES The dataset is too limited this period to support observations on price per square foot, property-type mix or other patterns. One of the two recorded transfers, the Sept. 15 filing, appears to be a transfer involving the Martha's Vineyard Commission rather than a typical buyer-seller sale; the deed data does not indicate the property type or purpose.
