While it’s difficult to put a dollar amount onto a new luxury home, it has to be priced right to sell. Case in point: This 8,000-square-foot East Hampton estate, which just chopped another $4.75 million off its list price to $24.75 million after lingering on the market for four years at five different price points.

The estate, situated on 2.8 acres on the oceanfront and close to the celebrity-heavy Further Lane, first came onto the market for $45 million in 2013, according to listing records. The price dropped to $39.5 million in 2014, edged up to $39.888 million in early 2015, fell to $32.888 million later that year, and finally settled at $29.95 million in September 2016.

The new price tag, $24.75 million, adjusted earlier this week, represents a $20.25 million, or 45%, discount from the original ask.
