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.)

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
