Where is whistler?

bad ass

if you want to pay that much.. but why not just buy a house? It would be a better investment imo. :2 cents:

bc?

and have to deal with people no different that living in an apartment or hotel? No thanks..

it's the private residence area. the cheapest place in the private residence building goes for over 2.5 M.

i think most of it has to do with how low maintenance you want your life to be.

7.1 for 3,700 square feet... Do you even have to ask?

I understand that it's in the private residence building.. but it's still just built no differently than a motel or apartment complex where you end up with neighbors that share walls or in this case.. your floor/their ceiling, etc.

Nah... For 7 million, why not invest in some land and get someone to build your dream house/mansion?

Or why not get something prebuilt? Lakefront/10,000 square feet/10+ rooms

I think it all depends on the location and the luxury and facilities of the building itself. $7.1 does sound like a lot of cash though :glugglug

Rent it out :)

It will pay for itself in time :thumbsup

LOL :1orglaugh

New York

Not worth $7.1m, but still pretty frickin' nice!

Total Interest: $11,655,022.51:helpme
(was messing with the calc + penthouse price)

It's nice but not worth it. Just think of what else you could get with that kind of money. Instead you could get a few houses, a few really nice condos, a few nice cars, and still have million left over.

6m at best, bc real estate is peaked atm though no? might be better to wait.. .

WOW for 7.1 million you could get yourself a beautiful Loft in Manhattan, but of course it would be much smarter to invest that money.

nope

Why not use that money to buy some really spiffy sports watches instead? One for every day of the year!

you are probably better off getting a house for 5 Mln, investing the remaining 2 Mln, and hiring a few people to run the house for you from just the interest off the investement...

Fot that much money you would think they would have better pics online.

My thoughts exactly, this looks like it was put together in like what, 10 mins tops? :glugglug

Nothing is worth it.... I can always get you comp'd

:glugglug

at some point you must remember what it's like to be a human.

i laugh at how the rich make these things so public.

Keep looking.

if you even have to question it, keep looking. why bring this to the boards? i would be goddamned if i would ever let anyone on here know where i would be considering my next place of residence.

:1orglaugh make that a rolex for every day :glugglug

He only asked if it was worth it. He didn't say he was considering buying it.

contact me and i'll find you an 120feet motoryacht for that price :Graucho

Anything you buy at Whistler now will be worth twice as much in 6 years. If you can afford it, invest now before they max out their building allowances. :2 cents:

Probably not for you.

You have no friends, no woman. It's to big for a hermit.

its worth it , just wait till 2010 olympics when some celebs come over and see how nice it is , then they will buy it off you for twice as much

for 7m you could probably buy a mountain somewhere and a luxury cabin.

possible to rent it?

There are some gorgeous houses there!

I love this one.

And this one is absolutely breathtaking.

or just add $8 million on top of it and by yourself a private tropical island like Mel Gibson did.

As an investment? maybe...
As a residence? hell no... way too expensive. And it sucks living in a apartment building.

Here's an apartment a few miles from home:

10.5 million. People are insane.

Everyone is missing the point...

It's fucking Whistler, at 7 mil it's a deal.

In Whistler 7 mil can still get you a damn nice challet... the market in Whistler is really crappy right now...

It's like saying that for $300k a Ferrari is a bad investment because you can get yourself a fine luxury sedan that seats 5 adults for $50k.

It really depends on preference and your wallet. If it's something you like, nobody should be able to tell you not to get it. Similarily if you have a $50 million or a billion dollars in the bank then $7 million dollars is chump change, I'd say buy it and enjoy. You could use it as a home or for parties or getaway spot.

Most of us will never be in excess of that kind of money, so we're biased believing it's too expensive.

word.. with the nicest view...

no property taxes :thumbsup

The Four Seasons in San Francisco also has private residences. I have only stayed in the hotel portion but the setup seemed pretty sweet if you can afford it. There was a completely separate entrance, valet, concierge etc. Full use of hotel services and gym. I would LOVE to have coffee and breakfast delivered every day!
