Now my mom's house could be called a hoard - my friends always commented they felt like it being in an antique shop when they visited, and she won't part with anything, but maybe that will change. She'll be house shopping in a bit (small outlying town, still with price inflation but not as competitive), to get something new or renovated as kind of her "last house". We're trying to get her to have a moving sale, but there's resistance.

plus, I am guessing a lot of people don't want to deal with having a pre-revolution era house.

And that underpricing scheme happens in Seattle too. Last summer, a recently married relatively young friend was excited about a local listing he thought he could afford (both parental units helping, of course). He showed the listing to me, I laughed and said it was a ruse to bring a bidding war. It sold for around 100K over list.
We should have gotten rid of our 2900 sf house years ago and downsized, but I doubt it'll be done in my lifetime. I'm getting rid of a fair amount of stuff, but it's a drop in the bucket.
You got the wrong impression of the surrounding towns depending which way you are facing.
Taking a closer look, there is some weird stuff about the that property, everything is listed as being built in 1686.
Maybe once it sells, some sweetheart arrangement is going to end.

I sold my 2009 PT Cruiser in about 20 minutes for $2500. I bet you could sell it fast too. Throw it up on Craigslist for $3000 and see what happens.

Fancy railings, extra LED lighting everywhere, ceiling fans every room, basement under the morning room, fireplace, whole house networking/audio and who knows what else they paid for. These are the things that I believe they lost their money on.
Whoever sold this place must have gotten a nice bonus.

All very nice but I have never had the desire to join a country club. I play tennis but those are minimal facilities, you go and play, go for a coffee with the guys and go home. I can't imagine lying around by the pool all day comparing Rolex watches and talking about what kind of car you are planning on buying for hours at a time.
Like I told my friends though, if I win the $20 million lottery it has been nice knowing them, I'll have to buy a yacht, get a Rolex, get a Maserati, maybe a Lear Jet, a few new homes in different countries, and a whole new set of friends

$20 million may get you the jet or the yacht, but probably not both.
That's how much I know about these things

The operating costs will kill you, I should think.
New ones seem to fall into the category of "if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it".
Better to get a membership into a fractional ownership - still a few hundred thousand a year, but none of the overhead costs and hassles.

ASK $450,000.00 w/o paint or $550,000.00 w/ paint
$100000 to paint it....can't take it to Maaco?
Buying a hooptie car is one thing....at least if something goes wrong you are on the ground and have a chance, but a hooptie Lear Jet........not much chance of surviving a malfunction there.
Same with a yacht, the cost of upkeep must be tremendous. One guy who plays tennis with us in Florida was telling us how he goes out in his yacht. I asked where he goes on his yacht....to me water is kind of like the same wherever you go.
He says he sails to a dock and he and his wife might have some wine and nice cheese.
One of the other guys said don't you have cheese at home?
That kind of says it all.
How come you are looking at Lears Michaell?

A plane isn’t something you want to skimp on when it comes to operation and maintenance.
While I quit traveling for over a year now, I had a really good source for air travel when it wan’t cross country.

They’ve suspended operations because of COVID, but they were almost like having a private jet when I needed to go to their destinations at a moment’s notice. Plus, I could walk from my car to the tarmac onto the plane in 10 minutes....be wheels up in 20 minutes from my arrival.
I think those jets are something to rent rather than buy. Like the two happiest days in a boat owner's life - the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
But laying around the computer all day comparing washing machines and talking about what car you are planning on buying for hours is different?

If I ever won the lottery, I could see doing some sort of rental program - NetJets allows you to buy as few as 25 hours of time on their jets, to be used over a 24 month period. The FOB terminal at the airport they use is just 10-15 minutes from our house.
Their smallest plane has a 4 hour range, which would allow us to travel anywhere in the lower 48 (and a decent amount of Canada or Mexico). No security lines, white glove service - what's not to like?

It gets up there in price.......and don't forget to tip the pilot.
One guy I know of booked a private jet from Toronto to Florida, about 2 1/2 hour flight, cost $24000 and he could take 6. This guy can well afford it. He would take 2 other couples and split the cost....or not.

I recall the others on the flight were military and were drinking up a storm in the rear with the stewardesses. Power to them.

Off to sign the P & S on the 401k emptying Plymouth condo on Saturday.
And, car-related, I need state inspection sticker. Hopefully it will pass even with the false trunk/hood open warnings. I'm gonna take it to my Jag dealer, I think they'll work with me to get it passed. And, maybe check out the '21 XF while I'm there.
'21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)
I'm sure the provenance of you owning the condo helped to sell it.

Glad I'm not a buyer, although I'm not sure we're getting the sale of the century on the place we're building. Time will tell. I've been lucky now three times buying and selling my homes. Maybe I should be a flipper?!

When I moved to Los Angeles, I sold my share to the other 9 owners. I had use of the King Air 3-4 days a month and truly enjoyed the plane. Great range, tremendous power and excellent cruising speed. Quite frankly, I truly miss flying - but not the costs involved.
