It was a resounding YES at the Chilmark ballot vote on April 27th. Thank you to the voters of Chilmark for overwhelmingly passing the Housing Bank 257-69.
That makes the required 4 town minimum for filing, but our work is NOT DONE YET! Our goal is to see all SIX towns partner on the filing, to send the strongest possible message to the legislature that Martha's Vineyard needs the right to use a transfer fee to fund affordable housing solutions.

Like so many resort and seasonal destinations across the country, Martha's Vineyard is experiencing a housing crisis and our essential workers, nurses, teachers, farmers etc are being priced out of year round rentals or the abilty to purchase their own homes.

There is often low inventory for sale during the winter months on Marthas Vineyard, but 2022 has seen even lower numbers than previous years. At time of writing this (early march 2022), we have only 119 listings available, the lowest for many years - inventory for Quarter one typlically runs in the 200's.
It's no surprise that listings are selling fast - especially nice homes with little work to do that are priced under $3,000,000

While many New England snow storms miss us, the first real snow on the Vineyard is usually early January and we can expect to get a couple more big dumpings through the winter months.

Dozens of collaborators, from the Martha’s Vineyard community, including one of our own Tea Lane brokers, took pen to paper to write about the pandemic in a year and a half-long project that was the brainchild of two island residents during the initial lock down.
