Green Bay Packers: The buyer of Brett Favre's house says he was sold by the size of the residence, not the fact that its previous owner is the star quarterback of the Packers.
"But it was icing on the cake and a little more exciting for the kids," Scott Gage said. "It takes a little of the dread out of moving."
Gage, a Racine radiologist, and his wife, a pediatrician, will be moving into the Green Bay home this summer along with six of their eight children. The 7,800-square-foot house on a cul-de-sac has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and a racquetball court, among other amenities.
The asking price was $895,000, down from the $1.3 million amount when Favre and his wife, Deanna, put it up for sale two years ago with a local realtor and also on the eBay online auction site. Brown County property tax records put the fair market value in 2004 at $958,100.
Gage said he hasn't met the Favres and doesn't expect them to be at the closing meeting, when the sale will be finalized.
"He's got better things to do," Gage said.
Just kidding!!!! That's my name though.
Pretty funny that I was born 2 days before Favre, my daughter's name is Deanna and a guy named Scott Gage (my name) bought his house. How weird is that??
