So this home isn’t exactly listing for under its last sale price, but its listing history is quite funny. According to Redfin it has been listed at least 8 times since May 24th 2006. That’s right everyone, these sellers have been trying to sell for almost three years. They must have priced it at over a million during 2006 and 2007 because it should have sold fairly easily then. Now they are still going for $850,000, which is 50% above all the comparables. All I can say is good luck.
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.
