Tisbury June Deeds Show Seven of Eight Sale Prices Undisclosed in Deed Record
TISBURY -- Eight deeds were recorded in Tisbury between June 12 and July 11, 2026, but only one carried a disclosed sale price — a $43,811 acquisition by the neighboring town of Oak Bluffs — leaving open-market residential conditions largely unreadable from this period's deed record alone.
MARKET OVERVIEW Eight property transfers reached the Dukes County Registry of Deeds during the period, a figure that substantially overstates arm's-length market activity. Seven of the eight carried no disclosed consideration. The single priced transaction, at $43,811, involved a municipal buyer purchasing a parcel at 133 Skiff Ave. rather than a conventional residential sale. With one disclosed price in the dataset, no meaningful price range, median, or market trend can be established for open-market transactions during this period. Readers seeking a broader view of Tisbury market conditions may wish to consult the town assessor's database for assessed valuations.
TOP SALES Only one transaction in the dataset includes a disclosed sale price. On June 12, Jose R. DaSilva and Elizabeth Lawson DaSilva conveyed a parcel at 133 Skiff Ave. to Oak Bluffs Town for $43,811. Because the buyer is a municipality, this transaction reflects a public acquisition rather than a residential market sale; the purpose and nature of the acquisition were not available from the deed record.
NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The eight deeds span seven streets — Edgartown Road, Rogers Farm Road, Iroquois Avenue, Grove Avenue, Davis Street, Skiff Avenue, and Greenwood Avenue — plus one parcel recorded without a street address. No street produced two or more sales. Grouped by transaction type, the period falls into three clusters. Two deeds are estate-planning transfers in which individuals conveyed property to revocable trusts bearing their own names: 48 Davis St., where Kevin B. Hatt transferred to his own revocable trust, and 23 Grove Ave., where Nathaniel P. and Pamela S. Benjamin conveyed to themselves as trustees. A third entry at 344 Greenwood Ave. lists "Declaration of Homestead" as the named grantee — a format that typically signals a homestead exemption filing at the registry rather than a conventional property transfer. One deed at 121 Iroquois Ave. moved the property from the Mary E. Wagner Revocable Trust to a new entity, Iroquois LLC, with no price disclosed. The remaining three deeds, all recorded June 18, form a same-day cluster connecting Marianna Cibulasova and Richard N. Hall: Cibulasova sold 73 Edgartown Rd. to Hall; Hall simultaneously sold 92 Rogers Farm Rd. Lot 2A to Cibulasova; and an unaddressed parcel transferred from Cibulasova to the Rogers Farm Rd. Nominee Trust, with Caroline R. Flanders listed as trustee. All three carried no disclosed price.
MARKET NOTES The mix of trust formations, estate-planning conveyances, an entity-to-entity transfer, and a multi-deed same-day cluster makes this dataset unsuitable for drawing conclusions about Tisbury's open residential market during the period. At least four of the eight recorded transfers — 48 Davis St., 23 Grove Ave., 344 Greenwood Ave., and 121 Iroquois Ave. — do not reflect arm's-length sales between unrelated parties. The Cibulasova-Hall cluster, three deeds executed on the same date involving two identified properties and one unaddressed parcel changing hands between the same two individuals in opposite directions, may represent a structured exchange or property reorganization; without disclosed prices, neither the total value nor the individual transaction values can be confirmed from the public record. The single disclosed consideration of $43,811 is consistent with a land-only or partial-lot parcel, though no parcel-type details were available in the deed data.
