Congrats to Jack White for the sale of his house in Detroit. According to the Wall Street Journal, the house sold “for $590,000, well below its initial $930,000 asking price.” It’s a tough market where houses are cheaper than cars!
Other tidbits from the article:
• Mr. White bought the property in 2003 for $524,000, records show.
• The house has been on the market since “last August.”
• Mr. White recorded his hit 2005 album Get Behind Me Satan in the foyer of the 5,800-square-foot home.
• The buyers are a retired couple from Maryland.
• He paid “about $3.1 million” for his “nearly 20,000-square-foot” house in Nashville in December 2005.
