Now, I don't know much about California real estate, especially high-end. But this is a good example of buying & building something that you keep for a long time because you're not going to get your $$ out of it anytime soon. If Chadwick's intention was to sell so quickly, he put way too many personal touches into this home without thinking of what would appeal to a prospective buyer, relative to the specific, close-proximity market vs competition in that price-range. What was he thinking?<br /><br />Half-acre lot. 150 ft of beach front. 3-car garage? For that much money I'd want some land (which usually costs to maintain, but living ON the ocean has its own issues & maintenance costs). I agree that they could have done a much better job with the interior, it's quite conservative. Not sure who painted it, either, because it just sings overseas-embassy-housing. Still, lot of lovely amenities. I just think he's dreaming & was smoking something when he came up with the original price tag of $65MM.<br /><br />Interestingly, on the TV show he was billed as an investment banker. So now he's a real estate mogul? We'll see just how much of a bath he takes on this property -provided he can actually unload it at $20MM - $25MM.Jewellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-83408575987363865572012-07-12T14:53:23.107-07:002012-07-12T14:53:23.107-07:00Really, you went to high school with Bill?

I worked as an admin for WJC for many years and he was the kindest, most generous employer, who gave out 10-digit bonuses every Christmas to all the support staff. If I ever moved back to So Cal, he would be the first person I'd call if I needed anything.

Sure, big prices are paid here and if you have the holding power no one has ever lost money on real estate. Some very powerful/smart people have paid huge sums of money for houses over the years without looking back as they know in the long run the money is well invested. So all "you people who live in fear" keep being bitter and throwing stones at those who have. In the meantime some "crazy California people" are having a great time living a good life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-65452091307142755612011-10-05T08:45:37.897-07:002011-10-05T08:45:37.897-07:006:55 smart of you.
