A well deserved price cut

68 Sumner Road, way, way up Rogue’s Hill, has dropped to $1.695 million. The seller paid $2.250 for it in 2005 and tried reselling it at the bottom of the crash in 2008 for $2.750. Glad I wasn’t the agent advising her on that price. Mid 70s contemporaries aren’t at peak demand right now, especially those nestled against Bedford’s border, so this new price seems closer to reality than the previous one.

My guess: you can grab a decent house here, with four acres and a pool, for around $1.5 million. Depending on the gas milage you can eke out of that Prius, it might be a deal.
