This was not a typical Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post in that it was already under contract by the time it was profiled. Given that it ultimately sold a tad over list price, it’s likely that there was more than one interested party. Listing agent Charlie Gaynor with City Houses notes that the property was renovated between 2000-2009, which suggests that it was an owner-occupant renovation rather than an investor rehab. I work with some great developers, so I certainly don’t dis all investor rehabs, but generally speaking, someone who is living in the property tends to invest a bit more on some of the finishes and appliances (note the sexy new steam dryer.)

The property was purchased last in 1999 for $113,000. with a $3000. credit towards closing costs. Ten years and a lot of work later, this relatively small end unit property with parking but no basement garnered a price reflective of significant changes in the neighborhood. For those of you left wondering how it compares to other recent sales in the neighborhood, here is a list of active listings, current pending sales, and settled sales within the past six months, within 1/3 mile from the subject property. (Note that active listings are in the first page or so. To see the settled sales prices, go to the later pages.)
