Slow sale, small price

994 days after starting at $5.450 million 230 Round Hill Road, marked down to $2.950, is pending. The owners paid $4.1 for it in 2006 then gutted, renovated and expanded it, so their reluctance to take such a large hit is understandable, but ultimately reality set in. My guess on the final sale price? I dunno, maybe $2.450? Back in October 2017 when this place took its first price drop, “Formerly 06830” guessed that the ultimate sales price would be $3.250, “for now”. That might have done it, too, had the owners not hung on for another three years, but as it is, I’m guessing that reader James Bond’s prediction of $2.5 will get the zebra rug prize.

Loved this exchange between Madolf and Holden in 2019:
