New construction in Riverside

New to the market today, 9 Dorchester Lane is entertaining offers beginning at $5.995 million. Nothing unusual about that these days except, perhaps, its location on Dorchester, but what is unusual is what happened when the house this one replaced was put on the market in April, 2023 at $1,499,500: a listing agent’s standard hyperbole was actually fulfilled. “Drive by and submit your offer today”, Raveis’s David Wilk urged prospective buyers, “before it’s too late”. Son of a gun, the house sold immediately for $1.550 million.

“this one won’t last!” and it didn’t.
