So I was wrong — sue me

When the new construction at 73 Sawmill Road came on the market in January priced at $3.895 million, I was somewhat skeptical (“I thought this new listing’s price was a misprint, but no, they’re serious” was the somewhat cruel headline I used) and suggested that “you $2.2 buyers, keep your checkbooks dry, and be ready to pounce in 2021.”

But it turned out that the builder had his “come to Jesus moment” sooner than I expected, and today, currently priced at $2.495 million, there’s a contract reported, a full 15 months earlier than I’d predicted. I apologize to those of you who were waiting until late next year to begin bidding.

Guesses on final price? I’m going with $2.250.
