This Friday my frivolous property auction purchase would be:
The NBA Star And Greatest Basketball Player of All Time Michael Jordan’s House: Legend Point, Highland Park, Chicago, IL, USA
“Why?” I hear you cry…
Because…
“Greatness rubs off”…Watch and drool!

Ick. Nooooooo. The sort of place that Russell Brand might aspire to.
Doors from the playboy mansion, cigar room, and 4 different lounge-snugs so he can multitask 4 starlets.
Does anyone really want a 56,000 sf house with somebody else’s logo all over it, and a gimmick pool where you can’t swim lengths?
It appears to have failed to sell in March 2012, so perhaps they are struggling to move it.

Shall we have a competition?
I predict $18 million dollars.

I know – it’s been on the market for 20 months!! Obviously ‘multi-tasking’ at the multiple hang-outs isn’t such a draw for the Chicago buyers 🙂
I don’t know the market over there but I see their real estate prices seem to be bouncing back http://www.zillow.com/local-info/IL-Highland-Park-home-value/r_55741/
I’m going to take a punt at $20.3m which is a 30% discount off list
