Housing market decline hits Ichiro's mansion

Ichiro Suzuki didn't field many offers for his original asking price of $3.2 million for his Issaquah mansion. The M's star built a bigger home on Lake Sammamish and left this Issaquah home three years ago.

The new number is now down to $1.75 million, and there are people in town coughing up that kind of cash without a jumbo loan.

I don't know why anyone with that kind of money would live in Issaquah.

Damn that's a massive house on a tiny lot. :(

I guess Ichiro felt right at home there considering how much of a yard most houses have in urban parts of Kansai.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Better there than the Bronx.

Used to live in Shorewood which is pretty darn close.

I don't know why anyone with that kind of money would live in the Bronx either. I'd take the north Bronx over Issaquah any day though.
