Even if You're Derek Jeter-Price AND Condition Still Matter!!

At this very writing, the post-season future of the NY Yankees hangs in the balance (Game 5, top of the 8th, Yanks leading Orioles, 3-0,, with 2 outs, but based loaded with Orioles....ARRRGGGG)...

But their Team Captain, Derek Jeter got some resolution recently. It was reported earlier this week that his 4 bedroom penthouse in NYC's Trump Towers sold last month, after a not-untypical journey

It first came onto the market in September 2010, listed at $20 million. A beautiful space, but it was pricey, and empty. And it sat on the market.

Several months later new photos showed it had been staged...but price stayed the same, and it sat some more.

It came off the market last September, then back again April 2012, with a new listing price of $17.5 million, and last month it closed for $15.5 million. Click here for B&A pictures, and a neat article.

Location always is #1, but I really like that celebrity still does not 'trump' price and condition. Staging a property elevates it within the marketplace, as it finds and defines value for the buyer. And you don't have to be Derek Jeter to afford it, either: With The Refreshed Home-interactive consults, with a written report after start at $285.00!

OK< back to the game now, Let's Go YAN-kees!

Our spaces affect us profoundly...and so many other parts in our life fall into place when our spaces and possessions serve us in the best way they can. But getting there is much more than a pursuit of pleasing aesthetics.

 

Decorating and Staging are different, but much of the skill sets overlap, and each creates unique solutions that considers the needs, goals, resources, expectations, hopes and dreams of each client.

Bettering Westchester, Putnam and lower Fairfield counties since 1981, The Refreshed Home works collaboratively, and brings a thoughtful approach to the creative process. Proud to make a difference, as well as make a living. Offering specialty services such as remote and buyer consults, listing photo/video styling, guided and accompanied shopping, and accessory rental. We get in, get out, and you get on with your life.  Talk to me TODAY about how we can better your space!

Marie ~ The new paint colors, new flooring and great staging really made a difference in this apartment!  Great to see another example of how the right price and condition/staging help bring about a faster sale!

Hello Marie,  Wow what a price but I guess that is the way it works in New York.  And No I did not cook for my friends at their house butI did when they visit us in Denver in June, Steve wife is a great cook, we compare recipes all the time.

Good morning Marie. Funny and true, no matter who you are you need to do your homework. Poor Derek....only 15.5 million.

Great story!  I hope Derek has somewhere else to live now, since he's injured and not playing in the postseason.  

 

Go Tigers!  (Sorry!)
