The housing market is cooling — but tell that to the 300 people who lined up to see a one-bedroom house for sale in the middle of nowhere
Durham is in central Connecticut, 30 minutes from New Haven. It's also about a two-hour drive to both Boston and New York City, making commuting to either feasible — a theory as to why so many found the property appealing, O'Connell said.The house comes with a 520-square-foot garage that has been converted into a studio or workspace. Also, the home sits on 3.45 acres with a septic tank that has the ability to accommodate a three-bedroom house, giving buyers with imagination flexibility.
The property, which was originally built in the 1940s and was remodeled in 2015, is unique in many ways. According to , it's the only one-bedroom home currently for sale in Durham. Two miles away, a two-bedroom fixer-upper is listed for $225,900, but it has been on and off the market for over a decade.Seventy-five private showings were also requested, and O'Connell has received so many offers on the house that she had to cap the number by setting a hard deadline of Wednesday, March 22 at 9 a.m. — only three days after the open house.
"I felt really good between $300,000 and $400,000," O'Connell said."I thought we'd get just north of $350,000."The open house's attendance is reminiscent of the housing market early on in the pandemic, when mortgage rates fell giving prospective homebuyers
