12 Saint Claire Avenue, Old Greenwich, was listed art $4.6 August 26 and had a contract on September. The sale price was reported today: $4.9 million, and a direct sale, which usually means that the sellers paid no commission. Wow.

2009 construction, 1/2-acre lot, on Saint Claire, which is a street with modest homes that have much to be modest about. A direct sale implies buyers who were either friends, neighbors or at least someone familiar with the house, so I guess they knew what they were getting, but this is another one of those sales in the time of COVID that I wonder at. Someone still in this business ten yers from now should follow up.
