		<description><![CDATA[ This 63 acre home is considered the largest residential compound in America. The 29 bedroom beachfront home of publicity shy billionaire Ira Rennert has 5 sports courts, a bowling alley and a $150,000 hot tub.  Ira Rennert is known for two things: the vast wealth he's acquired thanks to investments in highly unpopular industries, and his home in the Hamptons, which has the distinction of being the largest residential structure in the country.  

The assessed value of the Sagaponack property in 2009? A mere $170,167,400.

		<description><![CDATA[An advertisement for million-dollar homes in Baldwin Park shows a woman soaking in a tub under the caption: "Not as rich as you used to be? Luckily, the good life has never been more affordable."

Custom builders, stuck with luxurious homes they have been unable to sell in the humbled real-estate market, now appear to be the ones taking a bath.

Some are trying to unload masterpiece homes at half the price they had been asking in 2007. Others are faced with having to wait for buyers for the first time in more than a decade. And still others warn that this may be the end of the speculative, high-end-home market in Orlando.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Isleworth has reigned as Orlando's most prestigious address for more than a decade. 

The lavish 300-home subdivision on the Butler Chain of Lakes near Windermere is, above all else, known as the place Tiger Woods, other athletes and prominent business executives call home.

But in this real-estate market of unprecedented lows, even the rich and famous are finding it tough to sell.

Sports stars Grant Hill, Mark O'Meara, Stuart Appleby and Ryan Longwell as well as former Hughes Supply Inc. CEO Tom Morgan and the estate of car dealer Bob Dance all have homes up for sale in Isleworth.

In fact, at least 45 mansions, or 15 percent of the subdivision, are on the market.

That's higher than nearby luxury subdivision Keene's Point, where 11 percent of its 960 homes are for sale.

The heavily guarded gates don't keep out distressed sales.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 


Many of the country&#8217;s most lavish properties have dropped in price to lure buyers.


When brokers and sellers determine an asking price for a home in the double-digit millions, local real estate statistics mean almost nothing. Instead of relying on metrics like &#8220;comparables,&#8221; the industry term for similarly appointed homes that have recently sold nearby (these [...]]]></description>

I'm sure that will be a gamble for many lenders that stand to lose a substantial amount of money and opt to hold the borrower accountable instead.]]></description>
