Quote:The fact he sold it for about the same price as he purchased it for several years ago is telling. The housing market as a whole has come back the last couple of years. Maybe half million dollar houses weren't as affected and as a result haven't experienced the same level of appreciation as the rest of the housing market over the past couple of years, or maybe he REALLY needed to sell it. It seems like there should have been some appreciation in value over that time. I'm no real estate expert though.

I would have to see the house to say anything about it, not that I would know even after seeing it, never looked at 500k houses. But I would imagine with the issues he has had it might have some problems related to him or his (I would assume) posse that would have sometimes been at the place.


Also, while not my first assumption, he could just be trying to move on from a low point in his life. Houses can have great memories but they can harbor hurtful memories as well. Especially if he is trying to make a fresh start to get back in the NFL(even if just to get paid for a few years) it would be worth losing 50k or whatever to just get away from old habits and places.
