Why Is Jay J. Armes Having an Estate Sale?

From the minute 93.1 KISS-FM first published there was going to be an estate sale, some wondered if Armes had passed away.

No, he’s not dead nor is he broke. It’s pretty simple really, according to Armes. The Lower Valley landmark is just too much house for the almost-90-year-old. And an "estate sale" sounds way fancier than a "yard sale."

How Much for the Mansion?

It took a steep price reduction of over one million dollars, but word is the Lower Valley mansion is off the market with a contract pending.

The two story 9-bedroom, 8 bath home and the acres of land the estate encompasses on North Loop has a prospective buyer has an offer on the table. No word on how much he's willing to pay for it, but its most current listing was for $1.6 million.

It's not known if the potential buyer plans to knock everything down and develop it or will keep it as a residence.
