It took 4 1/2 years and three brokers, but these owners finally found someone to overpay for their Conyers Farm house

50 Guards Road has sold for $4.5 million. It started at $8, back in 2013; owners paid $5.750 in 2000 (and before that, it sold for $5.2 in 1998 — $7.83 in current dollars).

Add a Chick-Fil—A, a Whole Foods, and a gas station, and Conyers might be viable yet. For now, it's the new Sherwood Farms.
