First floor master bedroom capes remain a challenge

7 Wyngate Road (off Doubling, off North) has dropped to $1.9995 million. It’s been on the market for a year, without success, which is too bad — it’s a nice house, on a good street. Back in 2004, it was listed at $2.350 and sold in just days for $2.340. Those buyers, however, hit the change in taste for houses of this type, and though they tried to recoup their purchase price in 2008, ending up selling it to these owners in 2009 for $1.850.

Now the house has been completely redone, but, with proper negotiation, all that renovation cost can be charged to the sellers. Not a bad deal.
