I just read that Washington, DC, is on the list of the 10 hardest-hit real estate markets in the U.S. -- prices are expected to drop more than 20 per cent next year and another 5 or so per cent in 2010.
So, if you're seriously thinking about plunking down your hard-earned $49 million, don't plan on moving soon, because it may take a while to recover your investment!
You'd have to have a groundskeeper to look after all that. Unless you liked mowing all weekend.
I liked or preferred the outside look and grounds to the inside !
I noticed that too. Figured at 108 years old they would need that clause.
What struck me as funny is the house is sold 'as is'. $49 M and you get 'as is'. Just seems like an odd term to include.

Wonder how long it has been for sale. Some rooms are empty. The pictures are from the summer. Bet you could offer a few million less. :laugh:
