Only One Of Two Aquinnah Deeds Carries Recorded Sale Price So Far

AQUINNAH -- Two property transfers were recorded in Aquinnah between Sept. 18 and Oct. 17, according to Dukes County Registry of Deeds records. Only one of the two carries a recorded sale price at this time.

MARKET OVERVIEW Two sales were recorded this period. One sale price is available: $500,000, for a property on Old South Road. The second transaction, with no street address specified in the deed record, does not yet have a recorded price. With only one confirmed price in the dataset, a meaningful price range or median cannot be calculated. Two recorded transfers is too small a sample to characterize the pace of the local market this period.

TOP SALES The property at 2 Old South Rd. sold for $500,000 on Oct. 2. The seller was listed as Christine A. Murphy, trustee, and the Beech Tree Revocable Trust; the buyer was Martha's Vineyard Bank. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed record.

A second property in Aquinnah transferred on Oct. 16 with a price not yet available. The seller was JPMorgan Chase Bank NA; the buyers were Gary S. Foster and Lisa Foster.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The two recorded sales involve different addresses with no overlapping street name, so no street-level clustering is evident this period. By price tier, the one confirmed sale falls in the $500,000 range; the second transaction's tier cannot be determined until its price is recorded.

MARKET NOTES Data for this period is limited to two recorded deeds, which restricts broader observations. One transaction involved a seller identified as a bank (JPMorgan Chase Bank NA) transferring property to individual buyers, a pattern sometimes seen in post-foreclosure or lender-owned transfers; no further detail on the circumstances is available in the deed record. The other transaction involved a trust as seller and a bank as buyer. No price-per-square-foot comparisons are possible without square footage data.

Editor's note: This period's dataset includes only two recorded deeds for Aquinnah, below the threshold needed for calculating a market median or range. Readers should expect a fuller statistical picture as additional sale prices are recorded and in future reporting periods with higher transaction volume.
