Bleeding in the north country

The demand for backcountry homes, never robust, is shrinking

613 Round Hill Road cut its price today to $2.950 million, down from its starting point a year ago of $3.8 million.

The owners paid full price, $3,999,999 in May 2007, just a few months before the backcountry market imploded. But even then, when all was still supposed by many to be fine, who pays full price for a house this expensive after it’s only been on the market for 25 days?

Poor decision.
