I LOVE those teepees!! This grandma here would have it all decked out with fairly lights, fluffy pillows, the softest blankets, snacks and lots of books so I could read to my grandkids in it all the time.

I tried to buy one for my grandkids out in California but my son said that his boys would have it destroyed within minutes. I guess I will have to wait until my daughter (who lives in NC) has children and then have one here at my house for when they visit!

I even thought about buying them for my cats!

They paid $514,00 a mere 13 months ago, now they are selling for $670k. Where are these people going? Upgrading? Moving out of the area?
you've got to assume moving out. They're going to pay capital gains on ~150K.

*unless they were transferred for a job more than 50 miles away.

I must say I'm most curious about a particular house in Governors Club that is on the market now for the third time in 2021 at $2.75 million..Having actually closed the first two times at
$2.3 mil in February and then $2.4mil in May. Traditionally it is not uncommon to see listings expire/cancelled and then come back on; especially in that price range and especially in GC; but this one is unique in that it actually sold, very quickly by GC standards, both times. Doesn't look "flipped" either.

has to be a ghost. a bad ghost. and seriously, I'm not kidding. Or an elaborate money-laundering scheme, though one of the owners is a retired CEO of a US company.

Is the buyer an individual, LLC or S-corp? I would not be surprised if it's a money laundering scheme, tbh.

And, he bought his Barrington Park home in 2009 from Carolina Hurricane legend, Glen Wesley, whose jersey hangs in the rafters at PNC Arena.

Trivia fodder.
