bullet Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady drop Boston house sale plans corner

Gisele Bundchen and her husband Tom Brady have chucked the plan to sell their Boston, Massachusetts home after they reportedly failed to attract a buyer.

The couple placed the penthouse on the market in October (09) for 7.3 million pounds.

It was just two months before the supermodel gave birth to the couple's son, Benjamin, in the bathtub there in December (09).

But now, they have given up trying to sell the property, according to the Boston Herald.

"They are trying to get 2,000-dollar a square foot. The most they can realistically get is 1,300 or 1,400 dollars. They are trying to get a premium because it's their house," the Daily Star quoted source as telling the newspaper. (ANI)

Every minute of every day our news editors canvass the issues, and stories making the news to provide our readers with a broad and in-depth coverage of what's happening in the world.

Our first priority is the state. We specialise in Massachusetts news. From Worcester to Boston, we're on the lookout day and night to keep track of issues making the news. We also strive to keep abreast of national news.

Breaking stories out of the continental United States usually break first on the Massachusetts Sun. Neighbouring states and key cities too often feature on our news pages.

We also provide a whole lot of other content you'd expect from any newspaper including international sports coverage and local Massachusetts weather forecasts.

We also provide readers with an opportunity to engage in newsmaking by voting on major stories in the news, and following how other readers are viewing the issues. Our news polls are regularly updated, and attract thousands of voters over each week they're conducted.

Our business writers too work hard to keep you abreast of what's happening in the markets, not only in the U.S. but across the globe. We work around the clock to post stories from major financial centers like Tokyo, Paris, London, and of course New York, where we have extensive coverage of the major indices, particularly the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P and Russell 2000.
