I understand G Mail was down part of today and perhaps that accounts for the small number of real estate transactions. Regardless, here are four, from accepted offers to price cuts.
326 Cognewaugh, $1.275 million, the prefab that reported an accepted offer and then lost it, has another. Same buyer or the next in line, I don’t know.
In Old Greenwich, 34 Park Avenue, $1.775 million, has gone in just seven days. This is a lovely house, in great shape, but the upstairs is quite cramped (I’d fix that by converting the sun porch/office off the master bedroom into a new bath and making it a suite). The beautiful yard is actually a building lot, so unless the buyer is picking up that, too ($1.2 million), this will feel a lot more cramped in the near future. As an aside, did they ever fix the endemic flooding on Park? I’m not being clever, I really don’t know; the topic used to occupy our local paper quite a bit, back in the 90s.
70 Baldwin Farms So. has cut its price to $2.450 million. It sold for $2.2 million in 2002, and was (unsuccessfully) priced at $3.495 when it returned to the market in 2006. Looks like the mid-country, far from recovering as Old Greenwich has, in fact seems remarkably like the mid-country of 2002.
9 Oakley Land came on just ten days ago at $2.950 but has already dropped to $2.750 and been added as a land listing in addition to its residential status. That makes sense: it’s 3 acres in the R-2 zone, so the land is good, but the house itself is a 1961 “colonial” – not much value there. Oakley suffers somewhat from Merritt noise, depending on the exact location on the street. I’ll check out this one’s noise level tomorrow, if there’s an open house.
