The sellers might have been disappointed with the auction results here, but the final price seems about right. Gardens designed by Kate Sessions in the 1930s!

    I am surprised the sellers did not put a higher minimum that they would accept as a bid (higher reserve) given they listed it at 9M. How common is it to get a property for that much off list for the properties listed 4 and above ? i figured a lot of people wouldn’t have bothered to bid when the price is significantly above market rate.

    Not common but I don’t know what the opening bid was. The auction company does a decent job of marketing, so there must have been a few bidders. It was sold with no reserve.

    But it had been on the market for 2+ years, so the sellers might have been exhausted and decided to take whatever they could get.

    RSF is a tough market. The sellers paid $4,847,500 in 1999.
