Aquinnah sale prices span $41,019 to $2.65 million in July deed filings

AQUINNAH -- Dukes County Registry of Deeds records show seven property transfers in Aquinnah recorded between July 10 and Aug. 8, ranging from a $41,019 land transfer to a $2,650,000 sale on Lighthouse Road. Three of the seven transfers list a bank or mortgage-related entity as the buyer.

MARKET OVERVIEW Seven deeds were recorded in the four-week period. Six of the seven disclosed a sale price; the disclosed prices ranged from $41,019 to $2,650,000, with a median of $473,779. Seven recorded transfers is a small sample for a four-week window, and the wide price spread, from a five-figure land transfer to a $2.65 million sale, reflects a mix of transaction types rather than a single, comparable market segment.

7 Maple Hill Drive sold for $1,969,000 on July 31. The seller was Andrew P. McAfee, as trustee of the Andrew P. McAfee Trust; the buyer was JPMorgan Chase Bank NA.

517 State Road sold for $800,000 on July 15. Thomas P.J. Rosenberg and Valerie M.B. Rosenberg were the sellers; the buyers were Bank of America NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.

20 Old South Road sold for $100,000 on Aug. 5. Robert H. Shriber and Mary Louise Shriber were the sellers; Citizens Bank NA was the buyer.
