24 Winthrop Drive, Riverside, asking $1.795 million, contract after 25 days. It sold for $1.880 in 2008, at the crest of the market.

22 Sundance Drive, Cos Cob, $1.595 million, contract in 11 days. This one last sold in 2009, post-crash, for $1.230, after starting back then at $1.695. Architecture alert: the renovation of this house was by my friend Aris Crist, 203-661-0661, Ariscrist.com here in Greenwich. Aris has done some beautiful, high-end homes here in town over the decades but as this project shows, he does small ones too, and cheerfully. Good guy.

And, just to balance things out, a slow sale: 23 Maher Avenue, Greenwich, sold for $2.8 million after starting off last May at $3.295. Not too bad, though they did pay $3.250 for it in 2014.
