Friday sales reported
/While I was away at the Small Point Club in Phippsburgh, Maine helping Gideon supervise the birthdays of Fr. Anthony and Sister Lorin, the MLS was (semi) active. Gideon by the way, tells me that the market is bubbling along under the surface, with multiple-showings of the few houses available, negotiations over pending deals, and busy little agents scurrying all over the place. Because he spent most of his “family time” hidden away and mumbling into his cellphone, I suppose I believe him, but the fruits of all that frenetic labor have yet to ripen, and some of them are bound to rot on the vine. Stay tuned.
5 Pilgrim Drive, Glenville. Listed at $899,000, sold for $1.1. The same owners tried to sell the same house in 2019-2020 for $724,999 and went nowhere. Patience can be a virtue.
306 Stanwich Road, $2.7 asked, $2.8 got. The owners paid $2.7 in 2015, so no huge win here.
22 Stanwich Lane. Priced at $2.150, sold for $2.050.
623 Lake Avenue, $3.8 million. Began at $4.375 million in June 2023.
