How to buy a used jet
There are many pressing issues today – what will North Korea do? Are we experiencing global warming or global weirding? Or both. How will our children ever pay off those monstrous student loans? And, of course, where can I buy a used jet.
I can’t help with the first few of these concerns, but I have found an article in Barron’s explaining How to buy a used jet.
The most striking difference between the housing market and the used jet market is inventory. There are way too few homes for sale, but the good news for jet buyers is that supply is still plentiful.
Colibri Aircraft, a reseller of airplanes, reports that the average asking price across six different private-jet types plunged 35% from 2014 to 2017, as time on the market increased from 345 days to 391 days. It’s tempting for bargain hunters: There is simply too much airborne aluminum around—and not enough cash.
So, if you don’t find what you are looking for at today’s Open Houses, you can always buy a jet.

The Marblehead home where summer never ends…
One week until Labor Day and the “end of summer”, but the buyer of 46 Gallison Avenue need never say good-bye to summer.
There is an Open House today 2:00-3:30, or call for a private showing. The website includes a video of the property – and of the views.
Can you imagine living here and waking up to this?

Katharine Hepburn’s home: less than half price
Katharine Hepburn’s former Connecticut home is back on the market for $11.8 million, which is a steal compared to its 2011 listing price of $28 million. Hepburn’s parents bought the Old Saybrook home in 1913, and she spent summers there as a child; in 1938, several years after she received her first Academy Award, the house received significant damage from a hurricane and the actress decided to rebuild the structure to what it is today. Up until her death in 2003, she still spent summers there. The 8,368-square-foot home sits along 220 feet of Long Island Sound beach. The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom space was built in 1939 and was completely renovated to preserve the home’s aesthetic in 2005.

Marblehead’s most expensive MLS sale
As expected the sale of 204 Ocean Avenue has set a new record for MLS sales in Marblehead with a price of $5.8 million. This beats the previous highest MLS sale recorded in Marblehead of $5.6 million recorded in 2008. Note, however, that there was a private sale at $6.7 million in 2008.
In another sign of renewed activity at the higher end a house listed at $3.4 million recently received an offer.
Gradually, in recent years, we have seen activity moving up the price brackets. 2016 saw a record number of sales from $2-3 million. Will 2016 see a new record for sales over $3 million?

Now is The Time to buy a Luxury Home
The inventory of homes for sale in the luxury market far exceeds those searching to purchase these properties in many areas of the country. This means that homes are often staying on the market longer, or can be found at a discount.
With homes at lower price levels selling like hotcakes, this could be a great time to trade up and Buy a Luxury Home, as argued in Looking to move up to a Luxury Home.

Ritz Carlton or student dorm? Can you tell the difference?
Not so long ago I read an article How did colleges become country clubs? commenting on the way that colleges have been developing luxury facilities to attract students. As this is a real estate blog, I will not comment about any possible link between luxury new facilities and soaring student debt, but I can say that I was stunned by these photos.
Of the photos below, two are from College Campuses and one from a Ritz Carlton. You can enter your guess as to which is the Ritz Carlton in the comment section below the post.

Save $6 million on this English mansion
Westbourn is a new mansion of approx 22,087 sq ft gross external area plus a 1,000 sq ft roof terrace, built from natural Bath stone and standing in beautiful landscaped grounds. It is on the market for £23 million. Before Brexit that would have been about $33 million, but now it can be yours for a mere $27 million. My number is at the bottom of this post. Call and I’ll fly over with you to close the deal. One word of caution: the buyer must like grey and chocolate – or face a huge painting bill.
