The housing market may still be on its way to recovery and the economy still on shaky grounds, but there are still people who can surely afford to purchase new properties. One of them will be NBA superstars who just got signed in to a new team.
Basketball superstar Chris Bosh has been looking at Miami properties ever since he got signed to Miami Heat. He has, in fact, been scouting for months before settling on the mansion on North Bay Road. He will be moving in time for the start of the new NBA season.
The North Bay Road mansion was tagged at $16 million but Bosh got a substantial discount for it. He only had to pay $12.5 million for the said property. Agent Lourdes Alatriste said timing made it possible to secure the mansion at a lower price – Bosh closed on the sale before other interested families can make competing offers.
The clean, modern home situated on Miami Beach is perfect for the near seven-foot tall Bosh as it has high ceilings to accommodate the tall basketball star. The waterfront location and state-of-the-art entertainment room will also most likely appeal to the hardworking player.
Bosh is in good company as he will be moving in with a number of other famous celebrities. Among Bosh’s soon to be neighbors are actor Matt Damon and baseball star Alex Rodriguez.
Chris Bosh spent seven years in Toronto as the star for the Raptors. He will kick off the new NBA season with a game against Bolton Celtics. He will be joined by other NBA biggies Dwayne Wade and LeBron James.
