Location: 920 Whalers Lane, Amagansett
Asking: $4,595,000
Curbed readers must not have been eating their Pricespotter Wheaties™ this week because almost every guess put forth was dramatically over the ask of $4.595M. We thought throwing in a couple of hints?its time on the market and the original ask?might have helped steer you in the right direction, but apparently not. Maybe the "walls of glass" and "180 degree southerly ocean views" caused temporary asking price blindess. The over-estimates started at $6M and went as high as $8M.
One commenter, however, thought "you guys are living in 2007" and kind of nailed it: "...if the owner ever wants a fat chance in hell of selling this house hopefully hes living in 2012 which would mean the pricetag has to start with a number SOUTH of $5mm and thats before the negotiations commence"
*Someone also offered a great suggestion: "Given that it is Rental Season, I think we should start a new game called 'rental price spotter'." Look for that in next week's installment.
