Worst Real Estate Market In Years...Not on Martha's Vineyard and Not in Edgartown!

Don’t believe everything that you hear on the radio, watch on TV or read on the internet, because the Martha’s Vineyard residential sales market is not the entire United States market.

See for yourself below with this information that is derived from LINK, the exclusive listing service that is used by ALL of the Martha’s Vineyard real estate brokers and agents to market and track sales.
