The spring market is now officially the summer market, something almost unheard of in years past. And getting hotter.

Here’s a sampling of the many houses that are going

14 Rockwood Lane, $6.995 million, hit the market 7 days ago and is already reported as pending. That sort of speed suggests no one was waiting for mortgage approval on this one.

7 Indian Head

7 Indian Head Road, Riverside, $4.950 million, pending. 93 DOM

122 Butternut Hollow, $3.6 million. Twenty-four days listing to contract. A relocation sale, and those are often simpler because the repo company’s goal is to move the house, not hold out for the last penny. But still, quick.

434 North Street

And 434 North Street, which I reported was pending last week, has closed at $3.850 million. I’d thought that this beautiful old (1915) home was well priced at $5.995 million when it came on the market in 2016, but my taste and that of today’s buyer didn’t agree, and the house was pulled. At this price, I say that the buyer stole it, but “stealing” doesn’t apply to a sale, like this one, that was negotiated and agreed on after full exposure to the market, so I’ll just say that I think the buyer did very well.
