"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes" — Mark Twain

822 North Street has just been listed for sale for $7.495 million. This same house sold new in 2002 for $7.5 million (after beginning at $9.250), then again in 2012 for $6.5, and sold again in 2017, when the owner tried for $7.250, eventually gave up, and auctioned it off for $4.480. The current listing states that a new roof and mechanicals have been installed, but buyers don’t pay for that type of “improvement” — they expect the rood not to leak and the heating and air conditioning to work — but the market is certainly different now, and so theses owners may see that 2002 price again.
