239 Broken Fence Road [Notable Sale]
The house itself was painfully dated inside, complete with mauve 90’s era paint and finishes. It also had some oddities, like a non-working elevator, but the layout was solid and quite functional. The biggest reason our clients passed was the downslope foundation wall, which showed signs of historic repairs that weren’t disclosed.
Still, in order to compete with other buyers, my clients were considering limited or waived contingencies. In the end, the activity seemed so heated that they decided to pass. It ultimately sold for $950,000 ($185,000 over the asking price), with no concessions. My buyers have no regrets about passing on it.
