There's nothing wrong with buying your furniture at IKEA, we say. Everyone needs a well priced ektorp and linnarp. We gave you a property that sold, and you tried to give us what you thought the SALE price is. Now the answer to last Friday's College Dorm Chic...
Actual Sale Price: $645,000 on July 1, 2008 Listing: While this home may look like a shed in a midwesterner's back yard, it's actually architectural. Even the realtor says so: "Fantastic Silver Lake architectural. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, loft-like feel, Ann Sacks bathrooms, and balcony overlooking gorgeous backyard." The house was originally offered at $672k.
This week, guesser Pabst wins the blue ribbon for coming within $2,000 of the actual sale price. The lot of you guessed an average of $74,416 above the sale price. (Outlier guesses of $150k and $1.645 million were not included). Thank you, please play again.
