No Wicker Man plot-less creepery here—this is a deal that ought to land you a seat on Con Air. Originally $35million, this kingly Tudor-style mansion in Prime Bel Air is now listed for $17.7 million. There are plenty of unique and intricate fixtures spread around the estate, including stained-glass window, marble fireplaces and dark wood flooring.

Number One transports us to the mysterious Lost City of Atlanta—okay, we’re Futurama fans, can you tell? No, this isn’t a deal from the year 3000, but there is a $3000 benefit toward closing costs, along with one year free on HOA dues and a free refrigerator. The building’s amenities include a pool, clubhouse, fitness center and concierge. But if you buy before summer, you will probably lose a few pounds walking around in Downtown Atlanta. But the price has already sweated off a few pounds: these condos are $120,000 lighter, starting at $139,000 for a one-bedroom and $169,000 for a 2-bedroom. Don’t forget about the $8000 tax credit that is good until April 30, along with Georgia tax incentives.
