From the coast of Maine to Martha’s Vineyard, realtors are reporting significant drops in all kinds of vacation rentals, giving last-minute planners a feast of options this summer.

The Nantucket Island�€™s Land Bank purchased nearly 50 continuous acres of land in the middle moors on Friday, a $5 million deal that has been in the works since 2000.

Two parcels �€“ 44 and 48 Almanack Pond Road �€“ make up the 47.26 acres. A 10-acre parcel was purchased from Sheddon Sanguinetti. The remainder was part of a family trust owned by Sanguinetti and Lee Holmes, said Savetsky.

Rates on 30-year mortgages, after falling for five straight weeks, edged up a bit this week, reflecting in part indications that the recent economic slowdown would be short-lived.
