Another Price Cut for the Fleiss Duplex

• Last June, Karen and David Fleiss listed their duplex at 1030 Fifth Avenue for $47.5 million, later cutting the price down to $39.95 million and then $34.5 million. When that didn't pan out, they tried selling just the bottom floor for $15 million. Apparently that didn't work either, and so now the couple is back to offering discounts. The eight-bedroom spread is now on the market for $25 million, almost half what the couple was asking for it a mere eight months ago. [Cityfile, PDE]

• Former Newsday publisher Raymond Jansen, who lowered the price of his Lloyd Neck home earlier this month, has gone into contract to sell the waterfront estate. [Newsday]

There are only two months left before Angelina Jolie arrives in New York to begin filming Edwin A. Salt—the shooting will take place in Bethpage on Long Islandwhich means it's officially time to begin guessing where Jolie, Brad Pitt and family will live while Jolie earns her big, fat paycheck. The most promising contender: The Sassafras estate in Lloyd Neck, which has three separate houses on 48 acres of land and also comes with two helipads, tennis court, pool, and private cove with dock. It's up for sale for $60 million; no word (yet) on how much it will go for as a rental. In the meantime, you can have a look at the property Jolie & Co. might occupy after the jump.
