As if to prove my point about comparative values ...

The builder’s craft, circa 1978

325 Taconic Road, cheek by jowl with the Banksville border, has surfaced as a new listing, priced at $3.35 million. When superior homes like 31 Sawmill Lane fall from (an admittedly delusional) price of $9.950 million to $3.895, with room in that price, surely, for further negotiation, what’s to become of houses like this one?

All is proceeding as I’ve predicted.
