Come and gone on Highview, 6 days

38 Highview Avenue, Old Greenwich, listed at $2.895 million, pending after six days on the market. Pretty much untouched since the owners paid $1.725 million for it when it was newly renovated, it’s still in fine condition and, using an inflation calendar (the official government one has been down for a while now, I presume courtesy of Schumer and his gang) the current value of that $1.725 is $2.565 million, so, okay, but these numbers continue to surprise me — I can’t seem to adjust my concept of the (ever-diminishing) value of a dollar.
