This seems like a decent deal for the buyer; for the sellers, not so much

110 Meadow Road in Riverside has sold for $2.750 million. Good house, great street, on a half-acre, what’s not to like? It was priced at $2.995 in late May and had a buyer in just 34 days.

So far, so good, but checking the tax card, it appears that these sellers paid $3.550 for it in 2007, ex-MLS. I suppose that seemed like a good buy at the time, but then, lots of things looked better in 2007 than they do today.
