2020 UPDATE: Please check Ma.gov and local hospital websites for Covid 19 updates regarding travelling to the Vineyard this Thanksgiving - be safe, socially distance, wash your hands and please wear a mask when out in public places.

The fall brings the fruits of our summer labor with closings happening before winter creeps in and people lose momentum.

We've closed on 4 Tea Lane Associates listings so far this September representing 4 of the Vineyard towns.  

September on Martha’s Vineyard is a magical month and were all breathing again after the excitement of summer.  Vineyarders love this month as the daytime temperatures hover between the mid 60s to 70s and evenings are much more comfortable than the sweltering July and August nights. 

With a sweeping entrance through an expansive farm field, walking and riding trails, woodlands, pond, beach access, and total privacy, this feels like one of the exclusive home associations on the island, but this is yours all unto your own. Almost 70 acres of storied history, seclusion and a mile of stone walls throughout the property exude the authentic character of this long beloved farm in Chilmark. Past the antique post and beam barn, a granite bridge over Roaring Brook leads you to the back meadows and a beautiful ridgeline with strong views of the Vineyard Sound and the Elizabeth Islands. From this rise, the vista over the open meadows surrounding the ridge out to the rolling treetops of the north shore is equally enchanting and a landscape like no other on the island. The place James Cagney loved “beyond words” for the freedom and peace it provided.

Why not buy four pristine acres that contain mature trees and quintessential glacial boudlers all set on a gentle rise in Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard?

It's easy to imagine whiling away the summer months, making memories at this wonderful Martha's Vineyard waterfront home. This "grand dame" in the heart of the historic West Chop Club community is being offered for sale for the first time in 25 years.

"Don't speak too soon", as they say .... and after reporting "low inventory" in our mid year report last month, Tea Lane Associates are continuing to list new properties for sale this summer, in fact we listed 4 new properties for sale during the last week of July 2019.

It’s August and some properties have had a price tweak for the last few prime summer weeks.

The real estate market on Martha’s Vineyard slowed in the first half of 2019. Total sales fell 19% from 270 in the first half of 2018 to 218 in the first half of 2019. Total dollar volume fell 12% over the same period from $329.6mm in 2018 to $288.5mm in 2019. Average price rose 8% from $1.22mm in 2018 to $1.32mm in 2019.
