1235 Wildwood Road [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 1235 Wildwood Road | $2.13M Why Is It Notable? A late 70's, two-story in Devil's Thumb, with a classic configuration and no apparent updates from original construction. We would have advised our clients to avoid temptation by not scheduling a showing. The views are tremendous, but there's an electrical substation almost directly behind this property. Perhaps the new owners will screen it from view with landscaping, but then what's the point of backing to open space. I'm surprised this crossed $2M. Note Assuming the original acquisition price is correct in the tax records, and no follow-on capital investment, this property appreciated at an annualized rate of just over 6% [...]

1380 Riverside Avenue [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 1380 Riverside Avenue | $865K Why Is It Notable? An 80’s era two-story in Wildwood, the neighborhood directly east of Wonderland Lake. It was a small but tasteful property and likely a rental for many years. Finishes were well worn, and the house begged for updating, but the backyard was directly adjacent to open space and a riparian corridor. Lot size was tiny, and likely, further expansion was limited accordingly. My buyers were preparing to offer when it became clear that we were going to be outgunned. It’s sad to watch this one go, but perhaps also prudent. I think this sale pushes the comp fairly strongly [...]
