That's not usually how this works

The owners of 7 Indian Head in Riverside bought it new in October 2018 for $4.3 million, decorated it to their taste, built a pool at the rear of the yard and have re-listed it today at $4.950. Usually, new homes command a builder’s premium and drop in value once the thrill is gone, so I’m not sure where this one is calculated to have gained $650,000 in added value.

Narrow lot, with a house configured to match. I’d describe this as shotgun shack architecture (shoot a shotgun through the front door and it goes straight through the house and out the back) if it cost any less — with an awkward layout as the result.

But we always wish home sellers good luck here at FWIW, so … good luck.
