13 Squam Road closed yesterday for $12.75MM. The property has been on the market for over three years, originally starting at $19.95MM. Although the Buyer received a significant discount off the original asking price, it goes to show market stabilization, the bottom is forming and properties once again have a liquid value. Encouraging news for the Nantucket real estate market. Stay tuned Nantucket real estate enthusiasts! Dalton
Never in Nantucket’s real estate history have there been as many properties listed over $20MM on the market. There are currently 7 ranging from $20.95MM to $38.5MM. 6 are single family homes with outbuildings, including cottages, and 1 is 66 acres of raw land. Nantucket has never had a residential sale in the $30MMs, but I am sure that and an asking price in the $40MMs is coming soon-it’s happened in Aspen, Palm Beach and the Hamptons, so why not here…

Rumor has it that 13 Squam Road, located on Nantucket’s exclusive eastern shoreline, is under agreement for $13.07MM. It is a stunning piece of property with a house, guest house, swimming pool, tennis court and boardwalk to the beach. It originally started at $19.75MM, 3.5 years ago. Seems like a bottom is forming in the Nantucket real estate market. That’s it for now Nantucket real estate enthusiasts. Dalton
Among other deals, J Pepper Frazier Company just sold 6 Hinckley Lane for $5.75MM and 77 Main Street for $6MM. JPFCo. represented the Buyer in both of these transactions. Both are stunning Nantucket properties. 6 Hinckley Lane is a compound in the Cliff area and 77 Main Street is an historic mansion. The Seller of 6 Hinckley Lane ended up buying a property in the same neighborhood, 3 Heather Lane, that was on the water for $13MM plus $3MM in additional construction costs and the Seller of 77 Main Street bought 55 West Chester Street for $2.1MM.
J Pepper Frazier Company has closed another Nantucket short sale at 59 Somerset Road. JPFCo. has now closed seven short sales, more than any other Nantucket real estate firm. We do this by persistence and hard work constantly contacting the lender for updates and information. Short sales can work well for both Buyer and Seller, as the Buyer mostly gets a great deal and the Seller gets relieved of a major financial, mental and emotional drain on him/her. In this case, a young, first time buyers, Nantucket family was able to get into the market.
Dalton Frazier, Auctioneer Extraordinaire, handled his second foreclosure auction recently.
He was the man next to the red auction flag at 14 Cherry Street, Nantucket MA.
There was a crowd of 9 on-lookers and 1 registered bidder at this 3pm sale. It was short and not-so-sweet with the bidding opening and ending at $492,816.00, with the now foreclosed home being sold back to the lein holder.
Word on the Nantucket Real Estate Street is that 30 Easton Street received an accepted offer for just north of $15MM. Another sign that the Nantucket real estate market is stabilizing and possibly picking up momentum. As this is fresh news, don’t tell anyone I told you, wink-wink.
Last weekend was another successful Daffodil Festival Weekend on Nantucket. More than 100 antique cars were in the parade and the tailgate in ‘Sconset was a success. Dalton and Jennifer Frazier entered a 1958 Austin Healey Bug-Eyed Sprite on behalf of Team JPFCO.
