Titanic's sinking, the rats are scurrying to the lifeboats. I wonder how this will affect the demographics of each multi-million dollar sale neighborhood. Of course I would love to see who's buying and who's selling, but our County Clerk refuses to divulge those details. We pay the County Clerk to refuse to provide public records access. Am I the only one who sees what's wrong with this picture?

If you hover over the purple key icons in the map at the top, you can find buyer/seller information for each sale.

Sort of misleading as a headliine. It matters that as the details show a brand new massive 5900 sf home was built on the property in between the sales. To get a dug out basement living space new construction like that might have cost $800 a square foot, so the profit would be reduced by the expensive cost of building the deluxe new home.

So many of the buyers seem to be LLCs. I wonder if these homes will become rentals.
