“Glad I got that off my chest!”
Upset that I referred to the sale of her house as the result of a “bidding war”, a fan has written to complain.
“There was no bidding war. We received four all-cash offers, all over-ask, no contingencies”.
Well! That settles that!
The warning against drinking gin and tonics in the afternoon arises from FWIW’s new Word Stickler correspondent’s concluding words, which seem a bit intemperate, even from a member of the Invisible Ladies:
Your ability to understand the current market and what people want and need are sorely lacking. Not much of a real estate broker.
Too bad that you are such an asshole, as this sale could have been your listing (at least from where I was thinking about 5 years ago...)
Have fun with your perpetual far-right-wing crazy-MAGA blog...

133 Parsonage Road, $4.950 ask, $5.280 got. Nice street, standard house for this price range, so I understand the interest, even if I personally wouldn’t have shared the bidders’ enthusiasm.
And more than one buyer wanted this

24 Daffodil Lane, Cos Cob, listed at $2.450, went immediately to “highest and best”, and has sold for $2.555.
Forget it, Muffy, it’s Cos Cob
UPDATE, 8/30/21: The selling agent has asked that I take down the original pictures, which I’m willing to do. Here are some representative pictures from other houses, instead.

how come you didn’t tell me about this one, dummy?
'Squad' member Cori Bush, a 'defund the police' advocate, recently spent $70,000 on private security
Missouri Rep. Cori Bush spent nearly $70,000 on private security over the past three months as she advocated for defunding the police, campaign filings show.
Bush's campaign sent $54,120.92 in payments between April 15 and June 28 for "security services" to RS&T Security Consulting, a New York-based firm with a mysterious online presence, Federal Election Commission records released Thursday show. The Democrat's campaign also paid $15,000 to Nathaniel Davis for "security services" over the same time period.
The $69,120 in security payments accounted for more than a third of Bush's $197,000 in campaign expenditures during the second quarter, the FEC records show. It's also nearly double what her campaign spent on private security during the first quarter of 2021.
RS&T's website is no longer active, but a cached version of its now-defunct website shows that the group provides "executive protection agents" that provide "first class executive protection and security for national and international figures."
And here’s the money quote:
Meanwhile, Davis' reported address in the filings is the same as Bush's campaign headquarters.
This might be a fruitful area to review — John Durham’s certainly available — but that won’t happen, any more than we’ll see an investigation into Maxine Waters’ funneling $1 million + to her daughter, or OAC paying her boyfriend a million, or Ilhan Omar, that piker, paying her lover a measly $550,000.

72 Zaccheus Mead, An obsolete former stable (?) with an “eat-in kitchen” and sitting on 3.68 acres of compromised land, is back on the market at $1.695 million. It asked $3.495 in 2006, didn’t get it.

NUNES: The Durham Report Is Still Coming; Some Obama Officials Will Go to Prison
It was over when Durham filled to deliver before Election Day. I suppose there might be a report, someday, but it will be tied to Hunter’s laptop and tossed into the sea. No Democrat or intelligence service spy is going to prison, for this or anything else. Hell, they won’t even lose their jobs at CNN.
Well this must have come as a pleasant surprise

19 Desiree Drive sold for $3.1 million in 2017. The owners did a bit of refreshing and put it back up for sale this spring at $4.295. It closed yesterday for $4,819,000.
That’s close to the $4.9 paid for it when it was new in 2004; the difference, if there is one, is that I thought those 2004 buyers were fools.
