Martha's Vineyard Property Market and Real Estate Guide

(Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts - MA, USA)



Image of Martha's Vineyard HarborMartha's Vineyard is located in Cape Cod, New England. This stunning holiday island, accessible by air, as well as boat, enjoys a wealth of summer visitors that sees the population swell to five times the number of permanent residents. It is estimated that around 55 percent of the island's properties are only occupied during the summer months.

Martha's Vineyard, with its beautiful seascapes, offers great investment opportunities in local property aimed at holiday lets. The island's beaches are the main highlight of any trip and local towns, such as Edgartown and Oak Bluff, are popular places with visitors.


Coastal properties for rent and for sale command high prices and the island as a whole is a wealthy place in which to live. High-end beach apartments and villas are commonplace and property investment on the island yields good returns.

Renting Serviced Apartments

Rental apartments in Martha's Vineyard are usually aimed at holiday makers, with many of the serviced properties catering to summer visitors on short-stay leases. These apartments boast the very best appliances, facilities and amenities, and those with swimming pools and sea views command higher prices than those found in the center of the island's towns.

A few rentals are available for the whole summer season, but these are often commandeered by local businesses which employ extra staff from the mainland for the busy period. As a result, furnishings and amenities tend to be rather basic.

Buying Apartments and Houses

Property investments in the US are hugely popular with overseas investors and property in Martha's Vineyard can be purchased by non-citizens with relative ease. Paperwork and background checks are intense and time-consuming and non-citizens will find it very hard to buy property if they have a criminal record.

Real Estate Agents

Real estate in Martha's Vineyard is a booming business as the holiday island never goes out of fashion. Agents are based throughout the main towns such as Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, and can be found either by driving down the high streets or by using the Internet for an online search.
