#### June Mid-Month Report – Market Update 6-17-20

[![52 mill house way](/images/mill-house-patio-w-view.jpg)](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/mill-house-patio-w-view.jpg) _[This week’s featured listing](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/properties/52-mill-house-way-vineyard-haven/) offers a sumptuous lifestyle complete w/ views._

All anxiety that the spring real estate activity was going to be **pandemically challenged** has been **erased** by a **charging market.**

Fueled by **cash buyers** flush with capital that needs to be invested, former fence sitters, **urban dwellers** fleeing the city and pent-up demand, the Vineyard real estate market, like markets across the U.S., is **flourishing**.

For the first 15 days of June, **45 new listings** have come on the market, a **55% increase** over the same period last year. Even more encouraging, **30 offers** to purchase have been accepted, nearly **double** that of the same period in 2019.

**Sold properties**, which mostly reflect offers made 30 to 60 days prior during the worst of the current outbreak, are **down** by two at 20. Those numbers will surely rise as closings are registered in the coming weeks.

#### Safety Protocols

In-person showings in which buyer and seller agents and buyers come to look through a home are **continuing** at a quick pace, according to recent activity and the experience of Vineyard Open House Real Estate.

All agents are **respecting** the need for masks and gloves and are **maintaining** social distances while counseling their clients to follow these safety protocols.

#### Keeping an Eye on the Market

Stay abreast of island real estate trends on the Vineyard as they unfold, and visit the blog for the Daily MV Real Estate Market Updates which creates a snapshot of the previous 14 day’s activity, plus identifies **emerging trends.**

And as the reports mount up, we will give views of larger trends as they emerge.–_[David Lott](mailto:dlott@vineyardopenhouse.com), Principal Broker, Vineyard Open House Real Estate. **Call 508-338-2495** for information about buying or selling your home._
