Panicked or no, buyers are still selective

11 Hidden Brook Road, Riverside, dropped its price 8.6% today to $3.195 from $3.495 million. When it came on in February I thought it would probably sell quickly, but I was wrong, obviously. Maybe this price cut will do the trick.

I still like the design, but perhaps the architect went too far with the “open concept” layout; looking at the kitchen/living room/sitting room combination, I wonder where one goes for a little quiet privacy? Especially if locked down with three kids.

Too cute? (My father, Yale ‘27, borrowed a similar banner and used it as a floor mat in front of our guest bathroom’s toilet for years, until some offended Harvard Man stole it back. Ha!)

(UPDATE): EOS, I’m still having difficulty posting pictures in the comments section, but in response to yours about license plate frames, here’s mine: Son John pointed out to me, “Dad, 90% of the people who see that won’t get it”. I replied, “yeah, but it’s the 10% who do who are the ones I want to annoy”. He paused, then said, “that’s so efficient”. I miss that boy.
