Price it, sell it

No, not a knock-out exterior, but it’s great inside, where presumably the new owner will live

75 Oneida Drive sat unwanted for four months, from October 5 to February 5, while its price barely budged from $5.4895 million to $5.295. That listing expired, Steve Archino was brought in, and either he used his awesome powers of persuasion or the sellers were just sick of owning the place, but the house was put back on the market at the end of April for $4.350 and 34 days later, it’s under contract. I feel for the original agent: she really had just six weeks to move the house before the holiday shut down, and lost the listing just as the spring market was beginning, but that’s the peril in being the first listing agent.

And if she’d started $900,000 lower than she did, then maybe she could have sold in 34 days, as Steve has just done.
