Housing market decline hits Ichiro's mansion

Ichiro's Issaquah mansion, yours for just $1.75 million.

By KOMO Staff

ISSAQUAH, Wash. -- The decline in the local housing market isn't just hitting the modest homes. The pool of high-end home buyers is shrinking as well.

Former Mariners' pitcher Jamie Moyer just put his Magnolia mansion up for sale at $8.9 million. The seven-bedroom Tudor is one of the most expensive listings in Seattle, and about $6 million more than the Moyers paid.

Ichiro Suzuki didn't field many offers for his original asking price of $3.2 million for his Issaquah mansion. The M's star built a bigger home on Lake Sammamish and left this Issaquah home three years ago.

The new number is now down to $1.75 million, and there are people in town coughing up that kind of cash without a jumbo loan.

I think no one wants to buy it because it has a bukkake room.
