“Over a third of the island has traded just since 2019,” said Alyssa Morgan, realtor at One Sotheby’s International Realty.
“What do you attribute that to?,” asked CBS4’s Lisa Petrillo.
“I think it has a to do with domestic and during COVID, people were moving here for tax reasons. Also, people are trading homes within the island,” said Morgan.

27 Star Island is a one-of-a-kind estate featuring two distinct homes on the same property.
The original home built in 1924 by prominent architect Walter De Garmo is the island’s first residence. In 2014, it was bought for $10.4 million by business mogul Mark Jansheski.
