Newsday reports (http://nwsdy.li/2c2J4ZF ) the Queens home, which is listed on Trump’s birth certificate, will be auctioned on Oct. 19 at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan.
The 3,600-square-foot Tudor has five bedrooms, a fully furnished basement and a two-car garage. It had been listed in July for $1.65 million.
The owners say they put it up for auction because they want to see what it’s worth.
Open house events are planned for Sept. 25, Oct. 6 and Oct. 16.
Auction participants must bring a bank or certified check for $90,000 to the auction.
Auction officials say a reserve price hasn’t been disclosed but has been set.
The childhood home of a sitting (or former) President is worth more than the same house without that history.
Property values are climbing nationally.
So, why are they selling it now?
The owners believe that TRump will lose.
I hope Trump is smart enough to announce all proceeds go to charity like vets etc…
The open houses have been delayed while the property is fumigated over the next week.
Three thousand square feet was a mansion back in the day. His day was a rich man. Back then the difference between a millionaire house and the house of a school teacher was not so great. Now of course in modern America the gap has grown.
