There are some overpriced units there right now. I commented on one here when somebody asked me about it this week:

My answer on a specific unit at Odyssey was the following:

How overpriced do you think this condo is: Odyssey Condo #1205 (monument view), 2 bed, 2 bath, 2 parking for $1,069,000?
jseville
Unit #1506 with same dead on view just closed for a net of $950,000. This is a couple of floors down but with a 2nd parking space. I think it's worth about the same $950,00. Still I'm a bit cautious on these high dollar condos right now. I would be very frank in telling buyer he/she may see the price dip some more before any appreciating....We don't know.
But owning a home is not just for a financial investment. Other + s come when you live in something that is yours. To me it is safer though to buy luxury townhouses without the monthly condos fees. They are a limited supply.

Sorry Jay, Cathy kept the Wayne listing untouched and it sold for k under list after 200+ days. We won\'t make that mistake again, now we also stage everything.

Jay, now I don't feel so bad about some of the overpriced properties in Tucson, Arizona. For what some condos cost there I can buy a luxury home on a golf course here.

What are your thoughts of West View and East View Condos at Ballston. I believe they are still overpriced, but I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks

conspicuously missing from your list is 2001 N. 15th St, you don't think the Odyssey building has any ridiculously overpriced units?
