And they spent WHAT to own this thing? Developers have built two such million-dollar-a-house "infills" in our neighborhood of single-story ranch houses on third-of-an-acre lots. I've never been able to understand why anyone would want a big elephant of a shack elbow-to-elbow with the neighbor. If you have enough money to buy expensive real estate, wouldn't you rather have a little space between you and the next guy? Oh well. Congratulations on the good press! What an ugly house! And they spent WHAT to own this thing?

They're so BORING, for starters. That house does absolutely nothing for me, despite the granite countertops, hardwood floors, etc. Neighborhoods of those homes end up having zero personality.

The real estate market is rather fascinating right now. It's struggling to stop the decent, with a potential recession coming. If the job losses mount, it could get really bad. Why would anyone even want that house? No yard, far away from work, expensive utility bills, no real neighborhood. Love the post. The real estate market is rather fascinating right now.

That pic you posted looks like your typical "McMansion". Unfortunately for the owners of those types of properties, their pain has likely just begun. What were they thinking? You sure find out who was swimming naked when the tide goes out!
