When I first saw this 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom house on a 31.25 x 81 foot lot at 63 Oriole Gardens in Deer Park, I thought it was a good looking house.

I did't love the white, but the house was charming and the front hall was very welcoming.  The house looked into the back of a small apartment building and the kitchen needed work, but overall, it was a good house.

Too bad it was first listed so high at $1,780,000 because my first reaction to this house was that it would probably sell around $1,650,000.

But it had already had a price drop to $1,648,000 in May.

By the time I posted it in July, the price had been dropped to $1,498,500.

I thought it could sell for $1,580,000.

It didn't.  

This house just sold...

For $1,472,500.

This was a good buy.
