THE White House is valued at more than $308 million (S$455.6 million), making it the most expensive residence in the United States, a real estate research firm said on Thursday.
It is still about $23 million less than its value a year ago, Zillow.com said in an indication that the White House has not been spared from the US home mortgage meltdown, the epicenter of the global financial crisis.
Using a formula that determines a home's current estimated worth based on public data and recent sales, Zillow valued the residence of the US president at $308,058,000.
It 'would make this by far the most expensive residence in the United States', the Seattle-based firm said in a statement ahead of president-elect Barack Obama's January 20 inauguration.
Mr Obama takes over the sprawling presidential residence when incumbent George W. Bush officially vacates it on that day.
Zillow, which estimates values for 84 million homes or more than 90 per cent of the US residential market, said it decided to put a figure for the White House just for fun.
'We thought it would be fitting to provide a (estimate) value for the most famous US home of all as president-elect Obama and his family prepare to move in,' said Mr Stan Humphries, Zillow's vice-president of data and analytics.
'Obviously the White House will never be for sale, but given the immense amount of public data on this home, we thought it would be fun to crunch the numbers and say, 'what if'.'
The White House includes 55,000 square feet (5,109 square metres) of indoor space, 132 total rooms, 35 bathrooms, 16 bedrooms, three kitchens and 18 acres (7.3 hectares) of premium downtown Washington land.
Aside from studying the home's physical characteristics to determine its value, Zillow considered the most expensive home sales in Washington in 2008, as well as other historic homes in the DC area recently for sale, and calculated the premium historic homes typically fetch.
Zillow's statisticians deemed the White House 'the most historic home in America and applied a maximum historical premium to their models to determine' its current estimated value.
The White House's estimated value has decreased by 7.2 per cent, or more than $23 million in the past year, the company said.
However, the home's value has nearly doubled from the $167.86 million Zillow estimated it was worth in January 2001 when Mr Bush was sworn in as president.
As most of the developer notice , Lotus Notes having lots of formula and functions which are not documented in help file. Some of them we can find by some source , but who knows how many are still hidden.
Long time back one of my Lotus admin colleague had requirement to find out number of files shared over Lotus sametime chat.Fortunately She was able to catch one guy from IBM, He was employed at IBM. He had given some java files and instruction document, which was suppose to use inside IBM only. Along with that He told , I can't assure you whether it will work for you or not . Since we don't support this tool. I tried the code with Lotus Sametime but unfortunately didn't work.
Anyways, It was just an event which make me realize there are certain things which could be use only by IBM. Lets see some of the undocumented and rarely use formula/functions of Notes.
@GetMembers(List; Pos [, number])
E.g; @GetMembers(list;1) REM { list:= "A":"B" }
It returns "A"
@Text(@Now; "*")
It creates new replica ID.
@DbBuildVersion
Returns build number , For R8 it returns "322"
