美国市场上最贵的豪宅# WaterWorld - 未名水世界

On Friday, a waterfront estate in Greenwich, Conn., was put up for sale.
With a price tag of $190 million, it's believed to be the most expensive
home now listed on the market in the U.S.
The 50½-acre property includes a 12-bedroom Victorian, French-
renaissance mansion, 4,000 feet of water frontage on Long Island Sound and
two offshore islands.
The listing marks the latest test of the ultra-high-end property market,
which has seen several record-setting sales in recent years. Pricing in this
stratosphere is an imprecise science, however, and it can be difficult for
sellers to predict whether a nine-figure listing will lead to a nine-figure
sale.
A number of U.S. properties that marketed themselves with price tags of $100
million or more have wound up selling for less—or not selling at all.
While record price tags can drum up attention for the property—"a vanity
price is a great way to get your 15 minutes of fame," notes New York real-
estate agent Donna Olshan—they can also lead to multiple and very public
price reductions.
