Alec Baldwin is attempting to sell his luxury apartment, marking the second time he’s listed his designer homes in as many years.

The 30 Rock star recently listed his New York luxury home for sale, with the intention of moving to downtown Manhattan. The flat, which is on the 22nd floor of The Eldorado building, carries an asking price of £5.46million.

It’s complicated

But Real Estalker has revealed this week that the apartment was put on sale just two years ago by Baldwin for the lower price of £4.55million. He also listed a second, smaller apartment on the building’s ground floor. Neither received any interest.

Having failed to sell his designer homes in 2009, Baldwin’s back on the market and still looking to relocate to lower Manhattan where his girlfriend works. About Property adds that Baldwin has already signed a contract to buy a property in Greenwich Village for £7.58m.

Mansions on the market

Baldwin’s repeated attempts to sell aren’t the only example of expensive real estate transactions falling through, as industry analysts suggest that the market slowdown may be impacting luxury homes too.

A mansion on sale in Malibu recently went to auction for $22million after four years without a buyer. The reduced auction asking price is 65 per cent lower than the original list value, with the owner hoping to finally attract a buyer.

According to NUWireInvester.com, the mansion is the most expensive home ever put up for auction in America.
