I laugh when i see that stuff
Reminds me of how folks that rushed out and bought houses during the Covid stuff are about gonna get fricked now that the appraisal of the house is no where near what they paid for it

How do they not have a blank check style slide from a bedroom to the pool for that kind of money?

Blows my mind when people build crazy customized mansions in weird locations only to sell it within a decade.
The only way it makes sense is if you plan on living there a long time. If it's not a growing area then it's not going to sell.
Michael Jordan's Chicago mansion is a great example of a bad investment. He customized it and lived there for about 10 years and now it's not selling because it was built weird per his customized designs.

My guess is they eventually bulldoze the mansion and sell the land.
It's not even located in a place where it could be used for anything other than a place to live. No nearby tourist areas, very residential surroundings in a suburban town around a dying major metro area (Chicago).

If you want to build a mid-8 figure home and protect your resell you need to build it with spectacular views in a place where UHNW people want to live. The vast majority of people spending that sort of money want to build exactly what they want in a home and the main reasons they would look to something already built is the area is already completely built out or possibly the house is historic.

That house looks gaudy as frick and screams “new money try hard”

I've never understood the appeal of gargantuan houses.
Paying for location makes sense, but anything over 4000sqft seems excessive.

People spend millions building to their unique eclectic tastes and wonder why it won't sell. This house is Trump-gaudy. It is a very selective buyer that would close on this house.

An old couple is building a gigantic one here in the middle of Indianola, Ms. 3 story, 2 wings on each side of a main house, 5 car garage. Gotta cost several million. In a fricking Ms delta town of 8,000 people where property crime is rampant. Like it’ll ever sell when they’re gone

23,000 sq ft and only six bedrooms?

Shaq did something similar here in Orlando. Finally sold but it took a long long time bc of all the weird shite he did to it.

Looks like my butler’s second house. He might be interested.
