Larry Hagman's Solar Powered Estate Offered at US $11 Million
Unlike the character he made famous on "Dallas", oil baron J.R. Ewing, actor Larry Hagman is a major proponent of alternative energy and equipped his estate with one of the largest residential solar power systems in the United States. Hagman and his wife Maj are downsizing so the 18,000 square foot estate, named Heaven, is being offered for sale for US $11 Million by Village Properties Realtors. When Hagman first installed his solar energy system in 2003, his annual electric bill plummeted from $37,000 to $13. His system generates some 150,000 kilowatts per hour.

Christie's Great Estates Sees Opportunities in Current Real Estate Market

CHRISTIE’S GREAT ESTATES SEES OPPORTUNITIES IN CURRENT REAL ESTATE MARKET

Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates, the Exclusive Affiliate of Christie’s Great Estates in Wyoming and Teton Valley, Idaho
On the State of the Market

New York, NY/Jackson Hole, Wyoming — Savvy buyers are recognizing opportunities in this challenging economic climate by acquiring real estate while prices are at historic lows and inventories are high, according to Christie’s Great Estates. “I believe people will look back on 2009 and regret not buying real estate,” says Kay Coughlin, President & CEO. “Trophy estates are being offered for sale, some of which have not been on the market for generations. In a number of locations prices are back to 2001 levels. Prevailing economic forces are creating a value proposition for qualified homebuyers that will not be available for long.”

Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates, the exclusive affiliate in Wyoming and Teton Valley, Idaho discusses emerging trends in the local market. “A lot of cash has been pulled out of the stock market and is sitting on the sidelines,” said Chad Budge, Partner at Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates. “People are going to start buying -- we have seen increased showing activity and property interest in the Jackson Hole area lately and some property prices are below replacement costs, meaning it would cost more to buy land and build a home than to buy a comparable already-built property,” continued Budge. “While there is no doubt that the global economy has slowed,” says Bob Graham, a 40-year veteran in Jackson Hole real estate and Partner in Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates, “we are seeing the return of consumer confidence. Brick and mortar, when invested wisely, have historically proven to be one of people’s greatest assets.”

Buyers around the world are returning to real estate as well, as evidenced by Significant Sales reported by the international affiliates of Christie’s Great Estates. Below are sales from the first half of 2009 with listing prices included.

Opening Day of Yves Saint Laurent Collection Sets Record in Paris
A record total of €206 million (US$266 million) was achieved at the inaugural sale session of the Collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé at the Grand Palais in Paris. The first of the three-day sale series from February 23rd to 25th, offered by Christie's in association with Pierre Bergé & Associates auctioneers, became the most valuable private collection ever sold at auction and realized the highest sum for any sale in Europe. The top lot of the evening, which featured 59 works of Impressionist and Modern art, was Les coucous, tapis bleu et rose by Henri Matisse, which sold for €35.9 million (US$46.4 million)—a new world record for a work by the artist at auction.
Christie's Great Estates was present at the historic auction, where magazines, property brochures, and a video presentation of luxury real estate were displayed. Click here for more information and photos from the sale.

Abraham Lincoln's Original Re-election Speech Sells for a Record $3.44 Million at Christie's New York
The original 1864 victory speech, handwritten by Abraham Lincoln, was sold by Christie's New York on February 12, the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. The four-page document realized $3,442,500, a new world auction record for a Lincoln manuscript, a presidential manuscript, and any American historical document. The Speech was delivered at the White House on 10 November 1864, immediately after Lincoln's re-election to a second term as President. The precious manuscript remained with Lincoln's papers until 1916, when Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham and Mary Lincoln, presented it to New York Congressman, John A. Dwight, as thanks for his efforts to secure Congressional funding for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In 1926, Dwight's widow gave the document to the Southworth Library Association in Dryden, New York. Proceeds from the sale will fund construction of a new addition to the library.
