Ben Carson just announced that he accepted the role of HUD Secretary and is already making moves in his own personal housing situation.
According to an article in Variety, he listed his home in West Palm Beach, Florida for $1.2 million. If he sells his home at that amount, he would turn a nice profit, given Carson originally purchased the home three years ago for $775,000.
The home, which is located in an upscale guard-gated golf community, has 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
From the article:
Doctor Carson and his wife, Candy, have already purchased their next home, a nearly 9,000-square-foot similarly ersatz mock-Med mansion in Palm Beach Gardens that they picked up for $4.375 million, and they continue to own a 47.75-acre spread in rural Upperco, Maryland, about 25 miles northwest of The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore where until his 2013 retirement Dr. Carson was the esteemed head of pediatric surgery, that was acquired, per property records, in September 2001 for $1.5 million.
