Instead of traditional walls with windows, floor to ceiling glass walls are popular in homes now. Because materials and labour are now cheaper. Just like in “glass tower” condos.

This sort of thing:

That idea and this idea overlap nicely:

Excuse me? Pretty sure I’m not alone in saying I won’t own a home until I inherit one…

Fuck the one percent.

I intend to suck the marrow from their bones unless they make peace with humanity now…

Why should they if they can make a far higher markup on a “luxury” home. Mere mortals don’t consider money no object, and attempt to make sure they get value for their hard earned cash.

Well maybe because as the article said they’ve all overbuilt the market looking for the gold at the end of the rainbow…

I’d be willing to pitch in, say $20,000,000, but not for some tacky house with a Monaco-style casino.

Seriously, If I were to spend that kind of money, I’d want something of historical significance. Like the Whitehouse. That’s for sale, isn’t it?

The White House isn’t for sale but you can purchase a 4 year lease with an option for a 4 year extension.

I live down the street from many of those properties. Houses empty for years took a heavy toll on what had been some nice residential neighborhoods.

Correct.

How do they control for supply (or “supply” where people simply ask more than the market will bear because maybe they’ll get it), especially if these are unofficial listings?
