UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET From the turn of the last century Nantucket has been a popular place to vacation and own a second home. Since the 1960’s Nantucket has developed into one of the premier second home markets in America. As the island’s popularity increased, a few forward thinking individuals started the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, whose sole purpose was to obtain land to preserve forever. Today, the NCF and other local (Nantucket Land Bank) and national organizations own almost 50% on the island

As popularity for Nantucket has not diminished over the years, this coupling of intense conservation efforts and steady demand has created one of the most stable real estate markets imaginable. Since the early 1960s Nantucket has seen only one real downturn.  In the late 1980s, a deep national recession coupled with the Savings and Loan crisis lead to tough market conditions. Since then, beginning in earnest in 1992, Nantucket has had a very strong real estate market, characterized by good demand and a stable inventory.
