11 Park Avenue, Old Greenwich and asking $2.495 finally reports an accepted offer. Not a bad house but pretty standard spec builder construction that seemed boring to those I showed it to. Here’s what I said after its first year on the market.
(FWIW, 2009):
This is a perfectly nice house in Old Greenwich, built in 2004 and sold in 2005 for $1.960 million. When the present owners listed it for $2.895 last July, I suggested that its price seemed a tad steep for something that, at least according to its listing, had had nothing done to it since they bought it. I heard back on that but it concerned the sellers’ hurt feelings and nothing about the price. Well the house didn’t sell, it was yanked off the market a few months later and then put back on at $2.795 in January. Today it’s been marked down to $2.695, which is an improvement, but I, at least, think that it can go down a bit further. Of course, if there’s another out-of-town buyer out there, all bets are off, and for the sellers’ sake, I hope there is.
Problem is being right, time after time, does not seem to change people’s perception of you. Must make you crazy.
Can’t drive someone to place he already is.
