The story of the sale

How this sale came together.

Maggie on the story behind this sale. 2:47.
A handwritten letter about 1690 Edgewood Drive, posted to Maggie six days after the house was listed, signed only "Edgewood Neighbor"

What arrived in the post

A neighbor wrote in about the sign.

Hi Maggie —

Your sign says "New listing".

Want to let you know 1690 Edgewood has been on the market now for 4–6 years with at least 5 different agents.

This is hardly what we call a "New listing". Plus, you have the highest list price of any of them.

Hope you realize this is Not a "New listing". You might want to change your sign to reflect that.

We have watched signs go up & signs go down for many times.

Posted February 27, 2024 — six days after the house came on the market

The house went into contract eight days later, and closed at $5,110,000 — $112,000 above the asking price the letter called the highest any of them had tried.
