This large Gold Coast home came on the market about 3 months ago (MLS #40317490), on January 10:

Large home in Gold Coast;3 car garage;fabulous entryway, graceful stairway, large LR, & formal DR. Period details, redwood wainscoting, open floor plan; ideal for entertaining. Newly refinished hardwood floors on 1st & 2nd stories. 2 bonus rooms on 3rd floor and a partial basement.

If I remember correctly, this house was repossessed by the lender. That transaction shows a price of $1,495,000, which may be the default amount on the loan. Interestingly, the home was bought for quite a bit less than that, so one suspects a HELOC gone wild:

The amount of fake money generated, exchanged and subsequently lost over the past few years just in the real estate market is staggering.
