While it's generally unusual for the bulk of a home's furnishings to convey as a condition of sale, ultra-luxury property agents say this kind of demand is popular among affluent overseas buyers who desire a fast and convenient transition to their U.S. digs.
One recent example involves the sale of the Tampa Bay, FL, mansion of K-9 Detectives founder Christine Barsema. The spread -- which boasts seven full bathrooms, a gym, a dog run, marble floors, and more -- originally listed for $14.9 million in 2010 but was lowered by $2 million this spring. A buyer has since emerged and is slated to close on the property in September.
The deal includes not only the 15,000-square-foot estate but also Barsema's Mercedes convertible and Bentley, $2 million worth of handcrafted furniture, towels, dishes, rugs, and just about everything else inside the home.
