1. That's surprising.

I don't know a thing about real estate prices in the area but I do know that before I'd buy anything previously owned by LePlague, I'd have to bring in a tribe of shamans to exorcise the evil spirits, and then would refuse to pay more than half the asking price, out of principle.

2. I hate LePage, but that is not a gigantic profit in this market

Over 16 years also. Just my opinion hsving bought and sold house many times in that same timeframe.

3. You're right. That's just average, nothing extraordinary for the time he owned it.

4. He should have had Trump hook him up with a Russian buyer. That's where the real money is.
