Sale and a contract (different houses)

Sale:

55 Long Meadow Road, Riverside NoPo, full asking price of $1.895 million. It was on the market for 49 days before finding a buyer, and that’s a long time in this market — it didn’t used to be – so I thought it might go at a discount, but they got their price, and good for them.

It was probably the guest cottage in the backyard that made the difference.

Under Contract:

18 Maple Drive in Old Greenwich, 14 days on market. Asking price $849,000, it’s a 2-bedroom, 1 bath, 1,274 sq. ft. 1949 home on 0.10 of an acre. Smallsh for Greenwich, but it’s a perfect low maintenance down-sizer; heat it with a couple of incandescent light bulbs, cool it by propping an ice cube-filled wet towel in front of a window fan, and don’t worry about the lawn care workers’ sudden retreat to Mexico, you can trim this one with a pair of tweezers. Did I mention that it’s convenient to transportation? Well it is.
