The late Tom Clancy's former home may be Baltimore's most expensive listing - but it's also a bargain

Shawn Breck, of TTR Sotheby's International Realty, told the Wall Street Journal that the home is Baltimore's priciest listing. But the asking price of the four-unit penthouse is actually less than the spy novelist paid for his initial three units six years ago.

Clancy, who died in 2013, moved into the Ritz in 2009, when he bought three units for $12.6 million. A year later, he and his wife, Alexandra, bought three more units for a reported $4 million. While two of the six units are being rented out and are not part of the sale, the four units that make up the penthouse are asking a lower price than Clancy paid for the initial three six years ago.
