manning-300x200 Because I truly believe that homes have souls, I just love it when they finally find a family. 4214 Manning is one of my favorite bittersweet new construction stories out there. The builders were trying to go outside the box, build a unique home with a strong New Orleans-style slant. Might have worked had the market not turned south. And so this lovely southern belle went into foreclosure even with all her bells and whistles. What was it, $3 million, then $2,050,000 and I said I would have gone in at $1.5. I mean, look at this breakfast room!

$1 to $1.5 would be reasonable, wonder what it did go for?

@ Wm. B. Travis – 500K is a HUGE range! You can’t give a half-million dollar range and call it reasonable. That big of a range is exactly the opposite: unreasonable. In your guesstimate, you came down 33% from the high-end of your range. Most would have a stroke or a heart attack if they saw their taxes go up by a third. I could price every house in the world with that method of guesstimation (sight unseen).
