Why did the price drop so far in 2016?
The home cost far more to build than any buyer would pay, and it sat on the market for about 18 months. The price kept falling until it sold for $8.8 million, about 22% of the reported build cost. Howard bought it shortly after signing a three-year, $70.5 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks in July 2016, according to a report.
Is it a good value at $14.5 million?
That asking price is about $5.7 million above the 2016 sale price and $3.25 million above the 2025 ask. A seller’s ask is not a sale price, and the house sat on the market through 2025. We would treat the 2025 figure of $11.25 million as the more realistic marker until a sale is recorded.
