“...he offered more than the asking price,”
Hey, why not? It’s play money to him. He didn’t have to budget, or scrimp and save.
Carmel is a nice upper middle class suburb on the north side of Indianapolis. Carmel High school has become a dominant athletic program in the state, largely because they have an enrollment of over 5000 students and haven’t split into two high schools as the city has grown.
The “pinnacle of luxury” in the Indianapolis area is probably Zionsville or Fishers. The pinnacle of luxury in Indiana is probably the northern Indiana lake where Pence’s brother has a home.
The press wants to make this sound extravagant but it doesn’t sound all that extravagant to me, given that he has to have a fair amount of land to avoid the harassment and Rand Paul-type attacks which will be encouraged by the left and the media for the rest of his life.
While $1.9M seems like a lot, we should keep the perspective that Obama, who has a much briefer history of productive private sector work than Pence, purchased an $8M mansion in DC and an $12M house on Martha’s Vineyard after leaving office.
Yeah and he got $2M worth of house that would cost you $6M just 180 miles away. And that's without the 5 acres, jammed somewhere up in Lincoln Park, hoping that the ferals don't cross North Avenue, oh wait they did.
LOFL.
Your memory shift is worthy of the poly Sci textbooks..
It’s popular to kick him for not standing up on Jan 6, but all we had then was the sniff of fraud without tangible proof, and he simply passed the electors that the states handed to him.
We only had a “sniff of fraud” because the federal level GOP refused to look for fraud. The GOP was happy to play political hot potato with the state GOPs and run out the clock to get rid of Trump/MAGA. Recall Pence was infamously AWOL on the leaked call with the highly corrupt GA GOP.
You can buy a lot with 30 pieces of silver now days…
He had tons of proof; chose to pretend it wasn’t there.
Mike Pence is a dirty traitor, the state delegates were begging him to return the issue of electors nack to the states. The states knew there was fraud, Pence knew there was fraud. Pence is a uni-party scum bag and the entire Trump base is determined to see that Mike Pence never holds elected office again.
I agree.
We were in totally uncharted waters on Jan 6.
No one really knew if the Vice President could return the issue to the states.
Which is to say: No one really knew if the Vice President COULDN’T return the issue to the states.
He should have tried.
It says everything about him that he didn’t make the effort.
Mike didn’t make his money from salary.
Obviously.
Judas got his silver.
I hope he stays there, keeps his trap shut and rots.
Giverment “service” been very very good to him and all others crooked enough to reap the benefits thereof.
A million dollar house is no longer considered “luxury”. There are beat up colonials going for that around here that will require additional millions to renovate. Newer turn key properties are going for 2 mil easily. Real estate is going crazy right now. Bidding wars are back.

It is in Indiana—and in Carmel, there are only 4 on the market priced higher (as per zillow)...

Absolutely looks that way, right?
ten thousand square feet is well above the “luxury” line unless you are talking about an empty steel building.
The condition is largely irrelevant to the question, you are either going to spend the money up front to purchase a livable house that large or spend it out back making it livable.
