His current house is about 8 miles from the state house. Also this is not a good time to be selling.
Another interesting fact from the story; Patrick bought the house for $550K and now owes $1.28 million on it along with a 300K line of credit.
The two houses cost him $38K a month.
Very nice of the Globe to give him a free listing!
In Chicago, property transfer can be nice way to ‘spread it around’.
