Homes with Million Dollar Price Reductions

San Mateo County is home to extremely wealthy towns such as Hillsborough and Atherton. Some of the estates in these places are really unbelievable. I was surfing Redfin today I found some very beautiful properties that have had multi-million dollar price reductions. Here is a showcase.

535 EL ARROYO Rd Hillsborough, CA 94010

Listing history:

Date Price
Apr 02, 2007 $7,280,000
Jun 28, 2007 $6,850,000
Feb 20, 2008 $5,880,000
Feb 25, 2008 $5,860,000
Apr 30, 2008 $5,480,000

Yup, this one is down $1.8 million since last year. It is by all means an extremely luxurious look castle. I am sure someone with enough dough will snap it up soon, well, maybe in a year.

150 ALMENDRAL Ave Atherton, CA 94027

Listing history:

Date Price
Feb 27, 2007 $9,950,000
Apr 10, 2008 $8,950,000

Well, this one admits that they are too ashamed to show the house so they said “VALUE IS IN THE LAND”. It is reduced exactly $1 million since last year.

262 W SANTA INEZ Ave Hillsborough, CA 94010

Date Price
May 30, 2006 $13,800,000
May 27, 2007 $15,500,000
Nov 28, 2007 $12,995,000

This one has been on the market for more than 2 years. It’s an extremely ostentatious replica of an 18th century French chateau. It is pretty impressive, but it’s been reduced $2.5 million from its May 2007 price.

435 PULLMAN Rd Hillsborough, CA 94010

Listing history:

Date Price
Jun 01, 2007 $15,000,000
Nov 13, 2007 $13,888,000
May 06, 2008 $12,880,000

This is yet another mansion in Hillsborough.  This one is down $2.1 million since last year.  That’s a pricecut of more than 10%.

Well, I’m sure these people aren’t actually in trouble since they bought these homes a long time ago, but at least it’s comforting to know that they are realistic and following the market in listing their crazy mansions.
