Deadspin: real estate

Iverson Not Going To Sleep On The Streets Of Philly, At Least

Here's one less hurdle for AI-back-to-the-Sixers: his house is still for sale, three years after he was traded (though at half the original asking price). Similarly precipitous, his own drop in value. [The700Level]

Brady Quinn's Cleveland Home On The Market

Well, not technically Cleveland, because no self-respecting athlete actually lives in Cleveland. But this 4-bedroom, 5-bath listing might be a sign that Quinn will soon be plying his trade a lot farther away. [Realtor.com via WaitingForNextYear]

South Carolina Cockominiums Headed to Auction

Clay Travis — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:30:21 EDT

Do you see what they've done there? They've combined condominium and cock. Which usually only happens on South Beach. Anyway, the condo craze came to Columbia, South Carolina and condo towers went up around the wasteland that is Williams-Brice Stadium. But it seems the real estate market is not as robust as anticipated.

As a result 40 cockominiums are going up for auction on Saturday. 10 of these units have no reserve so get your carpetbags packed. How did this happen? Well, The State knows.

A building frenzy that would result in more than 400 condos by Williams-Brice kicked off in early 2005 when developers broke ground on The Spur. It was one of the best years on record in Columbia for real estate sales. Three more cockominium developments were started that same year.

Man, cockominium's aren't even selling now? What's the world come to?

You, Too, Could Be Tiger Woods' Neighbor

Leitch — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:05:11 EDT

We close out a surprisingly busy Thursday with a little bit of class envy. It's tastes good, and is good for you. Kid-tested, mother-approved.

This not a picture of Tiger Woods' house, but it's kind of nice, even if you're not into the whole "huge house with attractive Aryan wife" thing. And The Angry T has discovered that you can buy in as Tiger's neighbor. And boy, is the price right.

A mere $1.55 million will get you in the front gates of Tiger's 'hood (that's $7600 a month with a down payment for the mortgage plus $1800 for taxes). The most expensive listed place is $7.475 million, with taxes north of $6000 a month. No word on how much Tiger ponied up at closing on his $38 million spread. I'm sure they'd run a check of your bank account before even divulging that lots like that exist, but sharing a neighborhood with Eldrick, Shaq, Vinsanity, and Ken Griffey Jr. probably helps resale value right?

You think that neighborhood gets kind of embarrassed to have Vince Carter around? If that were New York City, the co-op boards would have kicked him out the minute he took off from Toronto.
