WTF!!! We are trying to sell our luxury condo for a measly $114,000 and no bites! (BOO but we have had 6000 showings) Bernie sold his beach house almost immediately for more than the asking price. The man is just lucky – in an odd sense of reality.
NEW YORK (Fortune) — It looks like Fed chief Ben Bernanke is right in saying the recession is ending: Today, Tiffany's & Co. advertised a $115,000 diamond and platinum bracelet in its page three New York Times spot — and convicted swindler Bernie Madoff's Montauk beach house sold for more than its $8.75 million list price.
The real estate agent handling the property won't disclose the buyer — nor the exact price — but says contracts have been signed. "It did go for over the list price," Joan Hegner, a broker with Corcoran Group, told Fortune. There were between five and 10 offers on the property, and more than 28 showings since it went on the market in late August, she added.
I would like to thank Lord Beck for immediately bringing this to my attention. As per the story above, I would want to remain anonymous too if I were the buyer. Who knows what will be hiding in the floors and the walls!!!!!!!!!!
