Smart to move so quickly

29 Maplewood Drive, Cos Cob, came on the market 7 days ago @$1.950 million. No buyer readily appearing, today the price was dropped 10% to $1.750. In this market, and especially in this price range, no offers within hours is a definite signal that a property’s overpriced, and the agent and owners are did well to recognize that and act so swiftly.

The exclusions listed in the realtor-to-realtor notes, however, puzzle me; It’s an estate sale, so I can understand a child or grandchild wanting to hold on to something to remember their relative by, but the kitchen island? A TV and its stand? I mean, we’re not talking about a valuable pizza oven here, or even a generator brimming with nostalgia.

“Please Note: The small kitchen island, the TV, and the white console under the TV in the living room are excluded from the sale.”
