"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.

Spring has arrived here on Martha's Vineyard which means properties that have been "taking a rest" over the winter are returning to market often with price reductions.   One example of this is this fabulous custom home and guest cottage on Rose Meadow Way, Aquinnah, which is back on market with a hefty quarter of a million dollar price reduction.  

Update: THIS PROPERTY WAS SOLD ON SEPT 16 2019 FOR $860,000

Steeped in over 300 years of agricultural history, Herring Creek Farm was once the largest dairy farm on Martha’s Vineyard. In 2001, with 15 home sites already in place, a groundbreaking purchase of the 215 acre farm, by three private buyers and the Martha's Vineyard Nature Conservancy, saved it from further development.
