Closing price reported

808 North Street, which we’ve posted on before, sold yesterday for $8.8 million. The list was $9.995 million, but the seller grabbed this offer immediately — 19 days between initial listing and pending status — and why not? He paid just $5.3 million for the place in 2020.

The seller has fared far better than the preceding owner, who paid $11,368,500 for it in 2005 and then spent eleven years, 2009 to 2020, trying to unload it: began at $11.750 and ended, as noted, at $5.3.
