April Market Report

April was a relatively quiet month, with 22 sales totaling $51 million—slightly more transactions but lower dollar volume than the 21 sales and $62 million recorded last April. The stable transaction count and lower dollar volume reflect the variety of properties that closed, not a weakening market.

Stepping back, the year-to-date numbers are encouraging. Through April, transaction counts are up by one compared to last year, and dollar volume is ahead by 34%—the gain driven primarily by the strong first quarter.

Overall market conditions remain favorable. Inventory has increased modestly to 151 properties, up from 145 a year ago, but demand is steady and well-priced listings continue to attract buyers.

Stay tuned for our May report in a few weeks.

March Market Report

Spring has arrived, and the energy we anticipated last month is here — buyers are active, the luxury segment is performing strongly, and March delivered some impressive numbers. There were 23 sales totaling $86 million, compared to 20 sales totaling $35 million last year. That represents a 141% year-over-year increase in dollar volume, a clear reflection of strong values and a robust high-end market.

Stepping back to look at the first quarter, the story is equally compelling. The first quarter of 2026 closed with the same number of transactions as Q1 2025 — 68 sales — but dollar volume surged from $127 million to $204 million a gain of nearly 60%. The market isn't just busy; it's producing exceptional value.

February Market Report

The island is returning to life, and it seems as soon as the snow started melting, buyers turned their attention back to the Vineyard. Showing activity has picked up, and we are seeing more properties going under agreement.

February recorded fewer sales and lower dollar volume than January, but the year-over-year comparison tells a stronger story. Dollar volume increased by 30% with one additional sale. 

Looking at the 2026 winter overall, volume is up 28% compared to 2025, despite a slight 6.25% dip in transactions.

January Market Report

January recorded 25 sales totaling $75 million in volume—another relatively typical month, though notably bolstered by a single high-end sale of $24 million on Edgartown Harbor.

Our 2025 market report is now complete, and a link to it is available below. Looking at the broad picture, both annual dollar volume and transaction totals across the Island have remained remarkably consistent over the past four years. Total volume has settled between $700 million and $800 million annually, with sales counts landing in the mid-300s to mid-400s.

These volume levels are comparable to what the market experienced in 2018 and 2019; however, the number of transactions required to reach that volume has declined significantly. In short, fewer properties are trading hands, but values continue to appreciate—an important dynamic that has helped sustain pricing despite lower overall activity.

December Market Report

The market ended the year without fanfare. In December, there were 35 sales totaling $63 million, reflecting average monthly closing activity.

Early data for 2025 indicates a modest rise in transactions and a 15% gain in dollar volume compared to 2024. Our annual report with island-wide statistics will be released later this month.

We anticipate a slow market in the coming months, but we will keep you informed with regular updates.
