Snuck in at the bell yesterday afternoon

8 Woodside Drive, Deer Park offers an interesting perspective on the COVID and post-Covid market. When it was offered at $5.395 million from July-through-September 2020 it went nowhere, and was pulled. Returned to the market in April 2021 at that same price, it sold in 19 days for $5.856 million.

Four years years later, it took a bit longer to settle out the bidders: 22 days, but the wait was worth it, because that same, untouched-since-purchased house was listed at $7.995 million, and sold to NYC (10003) buyers yesterday for $8.750.

(Very) dated 1927 house, typical of the original Deer Park homes (which was one of the reasons for the neighborhood’s appeal to many of us), it sits on 1.9 acres in the R-1 zone, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it replaced by one of the now-standard Biggerbetterbrighterwider models.
