We’re halfway there… how much more can we chop?
Singer/arena football team owner/New Jersey legend Jon Bon Jovi plucked $1.3 million off the asking price of his duplex at 150 Charles Street, making it one of the biggest price reductions on luxury pads this week.
This week just four single-family homes in the over $10-million market got price reductions of more than 5 percent. That’s significantly fewer than previous weeks.

Apartment 1801, which is owned by Bolat Nazarbayev, a fertilizer tycoon and the brother of Kazakhstan strongman Nursultan Nazarbayev, has also had millions knocked from the asking price.
