PHOENIX (AP) Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is selling a home that she bought four years ago in Arizona.
Palin is asking $2.5 million for the six-bedroom, 7,900-square-foot home in Scottsdale.
It sits on a 5-acre compound that includes a six-car garage, pool, full-length basketball court and putting green.
Real estate agent Richard Barker said hes selling the home on behalf of Palin and her husband.
Barker says they bought it as a second home, but now its just too big for them.

Grifting must not be as profitable as it once was.

(14,858 posts)Stupid people who suddenly come into money don't usually handle it very well. Buying this monster house in Arizona, for example. I don't imagine her income is as high as it used to be. How much time have the family actually spent there? Is there a mortgage? Even if she paid cash for it, how much are the taxes, insurance and utilities? It may be that they simply can't afford it.

(And, yes, Fox did cut her loose from even that income last summer.)

(28,394 posts)The exterior of the house looks like a motel. The interior is completely staged and looks like no one ever lived there.

(50,559 posts)It screams "hotel!" a little too loudly to consider buying that as a house.

(14,858 posts)I don't know if there's a mortgage, but even if it's paid for, a place like that costs beaucoup bucks to keep up.

(9,350 posts)I like the overall estate. I really like the interior. It seems very open and spacious. If I lived in Arizona and had $1-$2 million to spare I would consider buying the home.
