You (probably) won't have this house to kick around anymore

58 Sherwood Place has finally been reported to be under contract. This property has proved, until now, a source of endless merriment and mirth since it first hit the market in August 2016 asking $4.2 million, and then raising its price to $4.250 a month later. It’s been dropping ever since, but never low enough to entice a buyer to commit.

It’s probably a fair guess that the final price here will not have been enhanced by a bidding war.
