End of Week Mish Mash

After nearly four long years on the market Grammy winning singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow re-listed her Tennessee Farm for $3.85 million, $3.65 million less than the original $7.5 million price tag.

Leo DiCaprio had to come way down off his original $23 million asking price to sell his Malibu Colony adjacent compound. If finally sold this week for $17.35 million to an as yet unidentified buyer.

::::::::

Sir Paul McCartney and his third wife, Nancy Shevell, reportedly had a peep around a $12.9 million condo on New York City's Fifth Avenue.

The (rather fab) full-floor contemporary art-filled Park Avenue apartment of late architect Armand Phillip Bartos and (also deceased) paper and finance heiress/philanthropist Celeste Gottesman Bartos sold for $18 million. It was originally listed in March 2013 for $22.5 million. The buyers, according to property records, are Joseph and Hilary Feshbach. He appears to be in finance and she's a scion to a real estate rich family who, among other Manhattan properties, owns the venerable and soon-to-be-closed Roseland Ballroom.

The folks at Zillow named Jimmy Fallon as the most desirable (imaginary) celebrity neighbor for 2014. Not surprisingly—at least it came as no surprise to this cynical property gossip—Kim Kardashian and Kanye West topped their list for least desirable neighbors for 2014. (Kimmy and Kanye also show up as number seven on most desirable celebrity neighbor list so...)

I'm not to sure about these celebs building these mega homes in the sticks, and hoping someone with big bucks shows up wanting to buy their vision. The Sheryl Crow house is farmtastic, but it's out in the weeds somewhere. At one time, it must have been her vision of a dream house. What a financial nightmare that dream turned into.

Just noticed that Rob Pattinson's place on Aberdeen is now listed as 'pending' on MLS.

On Leo's -- great place, I'd bite. Otherwise, little to offer here except on staging, if you can even call it that. Ergo, some prospects can visualize possibilities, others can't, even on a self explanatory stunner like this. Looks like Staging Lady's base package. Bless her limited-skills little heart.
