想与美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马做邻居？目前，与奥巴马在芝加哥老家的住宅相邻的一处殖民建筑风格的豪宅正待售，而且价格公道。
So far, the real estate broker handling the sale won't even guess at what that price might be.
到目前为止，代理豪宅出售的房地产中介公司甚至都无法预测这套房子能卖到多少钱。
"We don't know what premium the Obama factor will have," said Matt Garrison of Coldwell Banker.
科威房产中介公司的马特•加里森说：“我们不知道‘奥巴马’这张牌能为房子加价多少。”
"If it was a block away it would be somewhere in the (neighborhood) average of 1.2 to two million dollars."
“距离这里一个街区的房屋的均价大约在120万美元至200万美元之间。”
Garrison's phones have been ringing off the hook since the house was put on the market on Friday.

不过那些希望受邀去奥巴马家里坐坐，或者有机会与第一夫人交换食谱的人可能要失望了。
