Pandemic, politics, winter: blogging burnout

I have a number of draft posts in the file, begun during the past few days and still-born, under the reasoning that who gives an f?

But what the hell, there’s always (some) real estate to comment on, like this pending contract for 137 Old Mill Road, asking $4.8 million

It’s of some interest because its last asking price a year ago was just $3.9million, and being offered “as is”. It came back on 30 days ago at this new price and already has a buyer. Did the COVID panic actually produce a buyer willing to pay $900,000 more than the seller would have accepted ten months ago? We’ll have to wait to see what it closes at.

Speaking of waiting, this owner did a lot of it. Ogilvy priced it at $11.5 million in 2014, and it’s been on the market ever since.
