[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is being sold again 6 months later? For 200k more? And it’s in fine condition but isn’t newly updated at all. I’m gonna need to hear a good reason why. [/quote]

There's a story there, and I got it:

From what I understand, the owner died and the neighbor bought it because they were concerned that someone would buy it and start tearing down trees (has happened quite a bit up the block) and ruin their view. So they bought it and put a conservation easement on it to keep that from happening, intending to resell. They put a bunch of money in updating it. So they probably bought it below market in some kind of over-the-fence handshake deal with the prior owner's heirs intending to protect the property from any development, and put money in and are now selling it for not much more than what they paid + what they put in. The only part I'm not sure about is that last part -- I'm not sure they put that much in. Although who knows what kind of shape it was in before, so it's very possible. [/quote]
