The White House Listed On Real Estate Website

Posted by samzenpus on from the been-for-sale-for-years dept.

Forget visiting the White House, if you have $10 million you can own it. At least that is the price for the president's home on the real estate website Redfin. From the article: "Obviously this is an error. It looks like Redfin software pulled an example listing from the website Owners.com by mistake. That example listing was the White House. We have e-mailed Redfin for comment." I know it's historic but it still looks a bit on the high side according to the comparables in the area.

    Is the White House for sale? No, but you can certainly *rent* it for four years at a time, if the price is right.

    Give it a rest already. The new jackass in chief has been there over a year at this point, and I haven't seen anything particularly positive to come out of it yet. In fact, he's made things even worse. I'd be far more concerned about that since he's the one in charge currently.

    ... not to mention the prestige factor of being able to say that you live there.

    It's also an incredible place to base your business. If you leave a message saying "Pleasd call Bill Smith at The White House 773-555-1376", You're almost sure to get a callback.

    The White House... and every other government center of power... has been for sale on and off since they all came to exist. That's the rotten nature of politics. The more a politician claims to be cleaner than his opponents, the more skeletons he has in his closet.
