Home is the fisherman, home from the sea

Great day off Portland today: fish, seals, dolphins (no great whites seen), grand blue sky and a nice breeze, but back to work.

The curiosity of the day is 460 North Street, placed on the market at $10.995 million. That’s probably a good price – it sold for $7,987,250 in 2012 (after languishing since 2008, when David Ogilvy initially priced it at $11.950), but just three years ago, asking $20 million, some chump — this owner — paid $22 million.

It’s true that a fool and his money are soon parted, but this much, this soon, is surprising.
