Checking up on real estate news that occurred during my time away, I found this

25 Selden Lane, off Riversville, has been reduced to $2.295 million. I never thought much of this house: on 7 acres (including an extra building lot), but that was back in 2008, when its first agent had priced it at $7.5 million. Knock $5.2 off that price and, valuing that extra lot at $500,000, there’s some value here now.

If you can stand living in our increasingly-undesirable western frontier.
