Riverside price cut

8 Marks Road, from $1.395 million to $1.299, after just 25 days on the market. That’s a smart move; this is not the time of year to cling to a price and await the mythical “it just takes one buyer” chump to show up. Of interest to those keeping score, this same house sold for $1.475 million in 2006, but that was then, and this is now.

It’s a 1960 former spec job, and there’s nothing the seller can do about that, but give credit to the agent for putting a brave face on that irreducible fact:

“Renovated with much of original mid-century style retained.”

Indeed.
