A killing on North Street (7/24 : UPDATE: Apparently there WAS a killing here, but it was sellers who were the homicide victims)*

420 North Street was priced at $5.295 million and it took 82 days to find a buyer willing to pay $4.9 million. That might seem to be a disappointment, but the sellers paid $3.575 million for it (in a bidding war that began at $2.999) on May 27, 2022, put in a pool, dolled up the kitchen and spread some more gray and black paint around, all of which couldn’t possibly had cost anything close to the $1.625 million they just pocketed, Even subtracting commissions and other transaction costs, this was a tidy payoff for just two years of ownership; especially when $2 million of that 2022 purchase price was borrowed money.

*Details to follow, but I’m told that their renovations cost far more than I imagined; that’s mind-boggling.
