Propose in haste, repent at leisure

Counting chickens, or many a slip twixt cup and lip

On May 6 I reported, under the heading “Deer Park still sells well, that 80 Meadow Road, $5.9 million, had entered into contract and a sale was pending, all just six days after being listed. Ordinarily, “pending”, as opposed to “under contract”, means all contingencies have been met and a sale is indeed pending. Apparently not in this case; it’s back on the market as of this afternoon.
