Asking Price
Can murals increase the chance that you might receive the asking price sale on your expensive condo? Maybe so — at least for Rush Limbaugh. He bought his apartment for $5 million in 1994 and he received just below the asking price recently on his $12.95 million dollar Fifth Avenue, NYC condo. He had put it up for sale in February for $13.95 million and then lowered the price to $12.95. The contract was said to have been for $11 million but there will also be heavy closing and transfer taxes involved for both NYC and NY state. Limbaugh has moved to Florida to escape the high NY taxes. Florida does not have income or property taxes. This is a lucky break for LeBron as well and may have played into part of his decision to play for Miami.
Here are some photos of the lavish murals.
I like how this Popfi writer suggests that murals can increase the property value of your home. I agree but for me that would be on a less grand scale than these.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
