On the other hand, sometimes you don't

After 459 days on the market at $9.595 million, 958 Lake Avenue’s price has been dropped to $9.495. That may not do it.

I sold this same house to clients in 2013 for $1.795 million, and after pouring a lot of money into it for very much needed repairs, they sold it to this owner for $2.9 million in April 2022. The awkward lot doesn’t appear to have changed since then, and I’m not sure that I see $6.6 million in improvements.

But who knows?
