9 Mackenzie Glen continues to be a tough sale

Purchased new for $5.5 million in 2006, the unhappy buyers first tried unloading it in 2012, without success, and have had it actively listed for the past two years. Today's price cut to $4.750  might do it, but given buyers' resistance to its previous price of $4.950, that may not be enough.

It's a decent house, although a tad too close toNorth Street to be noise-free, but 2006 was a long time ago; mid country values haven't rebounded from the retreat of 2008.
