Druid Lane

35 Druid Lane’s closing price has been reported: $2,801,035, asking price $2.550. The sellers paid $1.8 for it in July ‘22 (on an asking price of $1.650) and at that time I speculated it was a land sale, but the new owners — wisely, it turns out — did not build new; they left it as a dump, and sold it again this year, for a cool million more. Sheesh.

I wrote about this house most recently March 14th of this year:

Riverside: 7 days, sealed bids, what else is new?

35 Druid Lane, $2.550 million and going for more. The owners paid $1.850 for it in ‘22 in another bidding war that had begun at $1.650), tidied it up and painted (although they appear to have retained for their rustic appeal the patched roof and crumbling driveway) and are ready to move on. 41.7% appreciation at the asking price, and sure to be more when the dust settles.

(Update: heard from an agent whose clients’ offer of $2.7+ “wasn’t even close” — sheesh. $2.850? Higher? Send in your guesses: winner gets to seal the drive, if not the deal.
