The market's hot, but maybe not as hot as some people think

65 Hunting Ridge Road couldn’t find a buyer at $5.695 last year, so it was pulled from the market temporarily and put back on two months ago at $6.485 million. That $800,000 increase has proved no more popular with buyers than last year’s price, so today it was dropped to $5.995.

I have some sympathy for the owners, even if they did overreach; they’ve been trying to unload this place since September 2011, when they started at $10.750, and I’m sure they’d like to get closer to that elusive dream.
