This month’s installment is a great example of just how unpredictable and quick-moving the real estate market can be. Not only are there multiple listings that appeared in this very column just months — even weeks! — ago, but there are also homes that were sold just a few years ago only to be sold again this month for millions more.
Take a look at the second sale, for instance — it was purchased in 2019 for just over $3.5 million. In November it sold for nearly $7.5 million! Meanwhile, the top sale had to come down almost $1.5 million from the asking price to find a buyer after more than four months on the market.
