The Lowdown: The acres of chintz in this century-old Craftsman didn't hold buyers back, who look to have engaged in a little bidding war. Here's hoping the winning bidder was motivated by a serious case of restoration fever--there's some fine wallpapering here, but good heavens that green kitchen. The house's third story has been converted into a giant play room, and outside there are formal gardens, pool, and outdoor kitchen.

The Lowdown:The story of the housing crisis and our current recovery could be told through this house: built in 2008, foreclosed on, and sold last week above asking price, despite only being mostly finished. It's also completely over-the-top ridiculous, with 16-foot ceilings, elaborate gilded moldings, and enough arches to make a McDonald's franchisee cry. "Amenities include a play court, grassy yard, BBQ area, fire pit, and unfinished pool and spa."

The Lowdown: After two priceuppings, this just-built house sold for its initial asking price. Only two pictures and there's not much to go on here, but the listing tells us that the family room has room for an 80 inch TV and "Dramatic Crystal lights"; there's also a 3D screening room that seats 15, an elevator, "Olympic size tennis court," pool and pool house, and luxury palm trees that make us wonder how they differ from non-luxury palm trees.
