Single Disclosed Price Highlights Otherwise Data-Sparse Month For Chilmark Sales

CHILMARK -- Five property transfers were recorded at the Dukes County Registry of Deeds for Chilmark between July 24 and August 22, 2026, but only one disclosed a sale price, leaving little basis for broader price comparisons this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded five deed transfers in Chilmark during the period. Only one of the five, the July 28 transfer of 144 South Rd., included a disclosed consideration amount: $506,387. Because only one price was disclosed, that figure represents both the full price range and the median sale price for the period. With four of five transfers carrying no disclosed price, the raw count of five transactions does not, on its own, indicate whether the period was active or quiet; price-based analysis is limited to a single transaction.

TOP SALES

The only sale with a disclosed price was 144 South Rd., which sold for $506,387 on July 28. The deed lists sellers Gregory J. O'Connor and Michelle B. O'Connor, with JPMorgan Chase Bank NA as buyer. Bed, bath and square footage figures are not available from deed records.

The remaining four transfers in the period carried no disclosed sale price

-- A property listed only as "Chilmark, MA" transferred on August 14 from Erica Recht and Marc Recht to Erica Recht and Marc Recht.

-- 4 Dilley Way transferred on August 14 from Helen Krutina Neumann, as trustee, and the Neumann Survivors Trust to Helen Krutina Neumann.

-- A parcel at 0 State Rd. Access to Quitsa transferred on August 11 from State Rd. Access to Quitsa and Susan C. Skelley, as trustee, to Susan C. Skelley, as trustee, and Mariah Campbell, as trustee.

-- 43 Ocean View Farm Rd. transferred on July 28 from Carol Dallos, as trustee, and the Article Sixth Trust UWO Michael Fabrikant to Peter Fabricant, as trustee, and the Article Ninth Trust UWO Michael Fabrikant.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The five transfers were spread across five different locations: Dilley Way, State Rd. Access to Quitsa, South Rd., Ocean View Farm Rd. and one parcel identified only by town with no street address. No two transfers shared a street name in this period, so no street-level concentration is evident. By price tier, one transfer fell in the under-$1 million range ($506,387) and four could not be sorted into a price tier because no price was disclosed.

MARKET NOTES

Four of the five recorded transfers appear to be trust or estate-related transactions involving overlapping names between grantor and grantee, or the movement of a property into or out of a family trust: the Recht-to-Recht transfer, the Neumann Survivors Trust conveyance to Helen Krutina Neumann individually, the Skelley trust transfer that added Mariah Campbell as trustee, and the Dallos/Fabrikant trust-to-trust conveyance involving the Article Sixth and Article Ninth trusts under the will of Michael Fabrikant. The deed data does not indicate the motivation behind these transfers. The single transaction with a disclosed price, 144 South Rd., is also the only transfer in the period with a buyer that is a financial institution, JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, rather than an individual or trust. No bed, bath or square footage data was available for any of the five properties, so no price-per-square-foot comparison could be made, and the deed records do not specify whether any of the properties are single-family homes, condominiums or multi-family structures.
