Sale and a contract, two bits

33 Boulder Brook Road

 33 Boulder Brook Road has sold, for $4,8 million, after starting off at an asking price of $5.795. It sold for $5.050 in 2013, and $4.882 in 2011, so the recovery trend seen on this road in recent years would appear to have slowed.

65 Conyers Farm

And just to linger in the Debbie Downer mode for a moment longer, I can report that the 15-acre building lot at 65 Conyers Farm, asking $3.595 million, finally has a contract. The sellers paid $5.125 for it in 2007 and spent a small fortune on architectural plans and such before changing their minds and putting it back up for sale in 2010 for $5.975. It's taken seven years, but they can now see the folly of changing houses in mid-stream. Or perhaps the wisdom: my personal opinion is that they've dodged a bullet by unloading this land on an unsuspecting buyer, but then, I'm a pessimist by nature, known in my family as "Eeyore". You may have a sunnier disposition.
