Quick contract on Riversville

293 Riversville Road, $1.895 million, contract in 20 days. The sellers paid $1.630 for it in February 2020 (listing says a job transfer is the moving force here), so that’s a good indication of what’s been going on with prices.

This was a very nice 1774 house when I saw it back in 2013 or ao, but it needed a lot of work. That work seems to have been done.

As an aside, you should know that I’m not deliberately skimping on real estate news these days, it’s just that activity has slowed. I’m guessing that this season’s buyers have sorted out the best of the inventory and made their choices. If so, we may see a return to the normal summer doldrums, with activity picking up again as September approaches.

But there’s been nothing normal about the past 12 months’ market, so this may just be a slight breather; who knows?
