Well, this is curious

149 Parsonage Road is new to the market today, and priced at $7.195 million. That’s a lot of money, certainly, but I was surprised to see that the seller bought it new in February 2007 for $7.150 million. It appears to be in fine shape, and checking the tax card there’s minimal debt on the place and no hint of trouble, so it’s clearly not a distress sale. So why this “low” price? The listing agent Amanda Miller is a very experienced, highly capable woman, and isn’t they type to accidentally misprice a house. Which means that your guess is as good as mine, and I have no guess.

Of course, in this market, the asking price is often just an invitation to make an initial offering bid, so we’ll see how this works out.
