Stag Lane closing price reported

55 Stag Lane, whose last asking price was $2.695 million, has closed at $2.6 million. I liked this house pre-renovation, and it looks better now, although I personally am dubious about solar panels, and wouldn’t want them on my own house. But wonky solar panels notwithstanding, $2.6 seems like a good price for the buyer.’

The sales saga here is a bit convoluted, beginning with an opening salvo in 2018 at $1.650, expiring in 2019, by which time its price had dropped to $1.495. The owners kept it off the market while they performed a substantial renovation and returned it to the market this April at $3.250. They didn’t get what they’d hoped for, obviously, but with luck, they made enough to recoup the cost their work and pocket a surplus.

(There’s a video still up on the Internet, but these tend to be taken down quickly, so if you’re interested in viewing it, I’d do it soon.)
