Gold Coast Ch New Construction

2 Years Later, Luxury New Construction 5-Bedroom SFH Reduces Again ...

I think the 2006 purchase price ($700k for the standard lot) is outrageous for this neighborhood.

This builder is going to take a brazilian haircut. Regardless of the quality of the new construction, who has $2M to buy a house in the Southport neighborhood?

Major eff-up by the developer. Both for the 2006 peak bubble tear-down purchase, and the subsequent overbuild for the neighborhood.

Trudi, when you sell enough million dollar homes to be considered one of the top 100 realtors in the country (says WSJ), then you can comment on her pose. I think Jenny is doing just fine with whatever it is she is doing.

There’s no way I’d want to be closer to Addison if I were on Lakewood. You guys are way off. The block immediately to the north has numerous new homes in the $1.5-2.0M range that have sold in the past few years, and the dead-end street Henderson has many great homes as well. Unless you are concerned with getting into Blaine (Cornelia Ave is the border). I would go the private school route if I were spending this kind of money most likely. I think it ends up selling for at least $1.85M.

I live in the area and saw a house on the south side of the 1300 block of Henderson with some major construction going on. This was built in Summer 2009, and then they bought the next door house and tore it down for their kids to have a yard. Now it looks like they are either fixing major construciton defects, or possibly adding on? Anyone know what’s up?

Ha, she’s totally doing a run dmc pose! lol Great call.

Definitely a sign of a real estate bubble when the realtors are posing like gangsta rappers. Looks like she’s also blinged out with a gold rolex and tahitian pearls. When she’s working a deal, does she’s end conversations with “holla at me”.

Here this caddy demonstrates a run dmc pose in front of Michael Jordan’s car.

WARNING… builders firebox.

I remember reading a review by Roger Ebert that said he could tell how good a movie will be by the end of first reel. That’s how I feel about inexpensive easy to install dime a dozen fire boxes in expensive homes; you can sum up the overall quality of a house just by looking at the fireplace. If he cut corners there, imagine all the cut corners you *can’t* see.
