Only One of Eight West Tisbury Deeds Discloses a Sale Price This Month

WEST TISBURY -- Eight property transfers were recorded in West Tisbury between July 3 and Aug. 1, but only one carried a disclosed sale price, limiting what conclusions can be drawn about the month's market.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight sales were recorded during the period. Only one of the eight, the July 15 transfer of 140 Longview Road, listed a sale price: $1,155,653. Because just one of eight transactions disclosed a price, the reported price range and median ($1,155,653 to $1,155,653, median $1,155,653) reflect that single sale rather than the broader market. The absence of disclosed pricing on seven of eight deeds is common in registry data and should not be read as a sign of market activity or inactivity.

TOP SALES 140 Longview Road sold for $1,155,653 on July 15. The deed lists Jessica Harkins and Skyler D. Brickley as sellers and Coast Bank as buyer. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available from the deed record.

The remaining seven recorded transfers did not disclose a sale price: 100 Panhandle Road (sold July 17, Patia M. Waring to Diana E. Waring); 110 Otis Bassett Road (sold July 17, Michael Ryan Flaherty and Danielle Lee Saly to the Michael Ryan Flaherty Living Trust); 21 Willow Tree Hollow (sold July 14, the Petkus Real Estate Trust to Blossom C.M. Petkus and Adam F. Petkus); 26 Skiffs Lane (sold July 14, Carden J. LeBlanc and Michele LeBlanc to Michele LeBlanc); 6 Bea Lane (sold July 13, RF Falcon LLC to the Bea Lane Nominee Trust, with Sarah Davisson Moore as trustee); and 193 Vineyard Meadow Farms Road (sold July 6, the Gulino Family Irrevocable Trust to Emanuele D. Gulino and Kathleen J. Gulino as trustees). A property listed only as "West Tisbury, MA," tied to the Scotchmans Lane Nominee Trust, was recorded July 17 with a Certificate of Municipal Liens as the counterparty rather than an individual or entity buyer.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two recorded sales shared a street name during this period; the eight transfers span Panhandle Road, Otis Bassett Road, Longview Road, Willow Tree Hollow, Skiffs Lane, Bea Lane, Vineyard Meadow Farms Road, and one property without a listed street address. By price tier, one sale fell above $1 million (140 Longview Road, at $1,155,653) and the remaining seven had no disclosed price, so they cannot be sorted into a tier.

MARKET NOTES Five of the eight recorded transfers involved a grantor and grantee sharing the same family surname or a transfer from an individual into that same individual's own trust: the Waring, Flaherty, Petkus, LeBlanc and Gulino transactions. This pattern of within-family or self-to-trust transfers made up the majority of recorded activity for the period. The remaining three transfers involved a bank (Coast Bank as buyer on the Longview Road sale), a limited liability company (RF Falcon LLC as seller on the Bea Lane transfer), and a municipal-lien certificate tied to the Scotchmans Lane Nominee Trust property. No motivations for these transfers are indicated in the deed data, and none should be inferred. Because square footage was not available for any property, no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be made.
