I find it curious

And when I say curious, what I mean is that I really don't understand this: the house next door to us has been sold twice over the past 8 years, once to a real estate company, and then to someone who leased it as a rental property, first to a lovely couple, and then to a dog-grooming business.
This week, a for sale sign went up outside the house. It is a small property, and both times that we've seen it sold, it has gone for a fairly reasonable price: but this time around, when we looked at the information on it, we discovered that they are asking more than twice what they paid for it! Now, they have put some work into it, but not that much --- it's absolutely ridiculous!
Of course, it's not like housing prices are in a slump or anything at the moment, or as if the economy were close to being declared in a recession....

Yours, dumbfounded,
N.
