RE: I live in Maricopa, Arizona, where Bristol Palin just bought a house for $172,000 cash
I read that that property originally was priced at over $300,000 what the heck happened?
Seriously? You missed the news about the housing market crash? This is what that looks like...housing values drop. A lot. It destroys people.
And before anyone blames Bristol for exploiting someone's hardship, you should know, the house went into foreclosure, was purchased by investors who spruced it up a bit and sold it to her at a profit (to the investors.)
