Felt like a house that threw one too many parties, saw one too many late nights. A light "paint and shine" polish would have helped before listing.<br /><br />2) It was VERY "specific" - not just is style, but in layout. Too many things you couldn't change.<br /><br />3) Bad end of a "B" street. $5MM is a HUGE number for Fareholm. This house was kind of designed for the Birds, Sunset Plaza, etc. Most celebs even round Fareholm are more low key/low dollar. The $2MM for the Neutra at the other end was a "big number" for the hood.<br /><br />4) Lot/driveway issues.<br /><br />$5MM felt STRONG for this house. Look at the House Billy Rose sold on Skyline. Laurel Adjacent (really Mt. Olympus adjacent here) has it's dollar limits. At the HEIGHT, Dave Ramser sold Ellen the Marmol for $6.5MM. That's as good as it got.<br /><br />Too much focus on "List versus Sold." The first number isn't a market. Prior vs. Sold is the market. People talk about the big hacks off Listed/Sold instead of looking at the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-1417953047248754892010-01-01T03:34:02.450-08:002010-01-01T03:34:02.450-08:00People actually sit through movies starring Ashton...People actually sit through movies starring Ashton Kutcher and Anne Heche??!!??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-62885809994758455972009-12-31T14:38:20.067-08:002009-12-31T14:38:20.067-08:00I think the buyer is crazy-like-a-fox.
