134 Lockwood Road, Riverside, sold via bidding war April 16th of this year for $2.625 million on an original price of $2.475. The buyers changed their mind and put it back up for sale three months later for $2.950 million and today it’s reported as pending.

I’m a little surprised by the popularity of this 1947 house, but it’s certainly sold well over the past few years. Owned by very good friends of mine from 1993 to 2018, it was, putting it gently, not updated very much during their tenancy. No matter; they listed it for $1.575 million in May 2018 and sold it immediately for $1.638. Those buyers, in turn, upgraded the kitchen and baths and, as noted ,resold it to the current, albeit temporary owners for the aforesaid $2.625.
