7 Orchard Drive

This is getting interesting
This property in Milbrook sold for $3.780 million in September 2004. The new owners returned it to the market in May of '06 as land or residence and asked $4.895. That hasn't worked so well and it's gradually dropped in price until today it's being offered for $3.295. I don't know if, in this market, that will finally move the place, but if you're looking for the difference between 2004's market and 2008's, this is the place to start.

Chris,

This asking price represents a 13 % decline to 2004 pricing. Do you think this is representative of where the market levels are today?

Chris -

If you represented the owner of a house - that was on the market for rent - for a year - and - a renter - wanted to rent it for 5 mos. with -two dogs - offering less than the monthly dollar amount asked - what would be your advice to the owner?
(I can see renting it for 5 mos. if the renter offered more money - however - I would be very concerned about the damage that the two dogs could create.) Just wanted to tell you what I was thinking - and I would be interested to read your advice.
Thank you for your consideration!

Hmmmmm....Looks like that works out to 87% of late 2004 prices. Does that equal 2003 prices?

Please keep posting these current listings along with the last sale data. It does a good job of showing where the market is...or at least where some sellers hope the market is.

At one time it was listed as two lots. I believe someone was trying to divide it into those lots but a neighbor objected.

There was also a demolition sign on the house for a while but that has been removed.
