Market commentary
Too far gone and neglected to be anything other than a restoration project, a judgment that is reflected in this transaction. The bidding advanced to this level from Euros 42,000 and 13 bids to this level with 32 bids well in advance of closing where the bidders wisely decided enough was enough.
