While I was away ...

16 Lia Fail, Cos Cob, listed at $4.625 million, sold for $4.3, to Jersey City (07302 Zip) buyers. A previous attempt to move it at $3.5-$3.25 million in 2020-2021 fizzled, which I’d attribute both to the COVID market back then and, unfortunately, the failure of that listing agent’s failure to appreciate the power of The Orange. The new broker corrected that oversight and incorporated the color in 15 of the listing’s 34 pictures.
