New broker, new price, same prospects

What, you want driveway sealer for this price? Come on.

78 Zaccheus Mead Lane is now listed with Joe Barbieri, and the price has dropped to $5.995 million. You couldn’t find a better agent than Joe, but I’ve been following this house during its downward path from $12.950 over several years, and nothing so far has given me reason for optimism about its chances. In fact, though I predicted it would eventually sell for half its asking price back then, that marker has already been passed. There’s bound to be a bottom here, because the combination of 5 acres, a good road, and quality construction must be worth something. Question is, what?

The owner paid $13 million for this behemoth in 2006 — poor choice.

Roof looks a little peaked, too
