There will always be a couple buyers with specific wants. I sold my townhome about 15% above market value because the buyer wanted a house that needed some remodelling, was above garages, and was in a specific school district. I did not take it as a sign that the housing market took a turn for the better.
This contract could be a sign that VGC is turning towards the very pricy, or its possible that there are a couple of buyers out there who wanted to get points there despite any high costs.
