| EVERY SATURDAY MORNING on UPN 38, the ISoldMyHouse.com TV show gives an up-close-and-personal tour of a distinctive home on the market. "We go for the Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous format," says Ed Williams, CEO and cofounder of the company. When the Danvers-based company debuted its TV show in June 2003, he decided that only houses valued at $1 million or more would be considered for the featured slot. The threshold made sense at the time. But lately, Williams says, he's gotten worn out from having to turn down sellers wanting to showcase their middling million-dollar homes. "These days, $1 million can be a shack. It's out of control," he says. "Modest ranches don't have entertainment value."
It would have been hard to sustain a half-hour show on a boxy three-bedroom contemporary recently on the market in South Brookline. No matter. The house with the nice interior balcony but drab, flat-front exterior sold for $1.1 million one day after Philip Movshovich advertised it on the show. "When you hear million-dollar home, you think of some mansion owned by a celebrity," says Movshovich. "But times change, and we happen to be on the positive side of this boom. We're just riding it out." STILL IN TUCSON, ARIZONA anyone who is actively shopping for or selling a home in the million dollar range, and above, will likely enjoy the presentation of sweeping staircases and circular drives. Despite all the talk that the real estate bubble is about to burst, home sales continue to be brisk. Every buyer and seller wants to get the best final value, making as few compromises as possible. The great views, numerous amenities and great outdoor living areas in this price range make the task of previewing homes a pleasure. You bet. Nobody will ever confuse a million dollar home in Tucson, Arizona with a boxy two-bedroom ranch that may be just as pricey in other areas of the country. One gets a lot for the equivalent dollar in Tucson, Arizona. |
