New construction in Riverside is coming onto the market the next day or so

/

97 Lockwood Road, $5.495 million (link goes to Zillow, rather than listing brokers Hooligans & Lawyers because the Hooligans will post no listing before its time, and often past it). I wouldn’t live on Lockwood on a bet, but others will, and new construction’s been selling in this price range and above, so there you have it.

The owner/builder Lino Marcal builds a very fine house, so this does have quality going for it.

Pending in Riverside

/

68 Willowmere Circle, $3.895 million. It took just 10 days to go from first listing to pending status, so it’s probably safe to assume that there were multiple buyers interested, and probably bidding on the property, in which case, we can expect to see final closing price higher than this.

The owners paid $2.450 million in 2016 and don’t appear to have done much if anything in the way of improvements, so there’s your Riverside market, illustrated.

Willowmere Circle is a great micro-neighborhood, so this result isn’t at all surprising.

So say our betters. Yet Biden has defied the Supreme Court’s ruling that his plan to foist student debt onto the backs of taxpayers and boasted about it. Here are some of the “students” you’re paying to attend college:

From this morning’s InstaPundit:

INSURRECTION: UC Santa Barbara pro-Hamas encampment now an ‘autonomous society:’ Demanded free food at its ‘Dining Hall Liberation’ demonstration.

THE ENEMY WITHIN: U.S. Media and Students Do Precisely What Hamas Leader Urged.

INSURRECTION: Anti-Israel protesters burn UC Berkeley police vehicle with ‘incendiary device’ in ‘retaliation’ for arrests. Have you noticed that MAGA people don’t “retaliate” for arrests?

Related: Yale students call for ‘open intifada,’ say activists should ‘escalate disruption’ and ‘paralyze all aspects of normal life.’

Price cut on Stag Lane

55 Stag Lane, now down to $2.695 from its original March price of $3.250 (it previously took a cut to $2.995 in April). The owners tried unsuccessfully for $1.495 back in 2020, took it of the market and renovated it in 2021, and now they’re back. are those improvements worth an additional $1.2 million? Maybe not, but the 2020 Fauci Lockdown market has certainly improved, so, maybe.

It’s a nice house on a good, 4-acre lot, and a buyer could do worse for more.

If at first you don't succeed ...

630 North Street (no link) spent some time on the market last fall at $3.950 million but found no buyers and the listing was allowed to expire. But listing agent Yasmin Lloyds kept her clients, and when an agent from Hooligans & Lawyers surfaced with a buyer last month a deal was struck off the MLS and the house sold yesterday for $3.850.

That price isn’t a huge home run — the sellers paid $3.225 for it in 2006 — but it’s not bad for a property with the Merritt Parkway as its backyard neighbor.

Here are some pictures from the expired listing:

And Dan Quigley was there

Jubilee Day for the Democrat’s wards. Despite rumors to the contrary, sources tell FWIW that Dan Quigley did not join his pro-Hamas friends on the King Street picket line, but was at the party itself on Sherwood Avenue, albeit it as a volunteer traffic coordinator and canape server for his betters. Nice to see that he’s continuing his civic involvement even after being being booted from the Republican Town Committee for his abandonment of principle.

We're back, I suppose UPDATED

cheering destruction

The Trump verdict, signaling as it does the complete collapse of our criminal law and judicial system, was so dispiriting that I just took a brief leave of absence from the news and from blogging. Personally, see the verdict as a watershed moment in our country’s history, and the decline of what made us great will only accelerate from here; I don’t see how we can reclaim what was once a great country.

So the hell with it, and let’s go with some humor instead of doom and gloom. Like this:

Dan Quigley meets his new friends

UPDATE: I just saw this letter to the editor from one Daniel Quigley, former chairman of the Greenwich Republican Town Committee and still active in town politics. You can read it for yourself, if you care to, as the perfect example of what a useful idiot sounds like.
