If you have $6.5 million you can buy Matthew Stafford's house in Detroit. Link to pics.

The closet is bigger than my living room. It takes two pictures to capture it all, or presumably that's all of it but maybe there's more. I would have thought that a house like this would cost more than $6.5 million but maybe the fact that it's in Detroit is keeping the price down.

I can get you 1200 acres with 8 homes, one a 10,000 square ft mansion plus a six mil horse barn plus an 18 hole golf course and 6.5 miles of river frontage.......all for a mere $12 million !

 

[psuro]

Too close to Ann Arbor.

Pass.

That would be too long of a commute...

 

[BudatPSU]

Any window air conditioners?

 

[fairgambit]

I am impressed with the price but little else. The house has a sterile, business conference center look. The interior lacks warmth. We all have our own idea of the ideal house. That is not mine.

 

[Mister Magoo]

Imma thinkin of joining Michigan Militia? What's their salary?
Enough for Stafford's crib?

Not enough to buy it and heat it in the winter.

To be fair to the architect of the house, playing for Georgia and Detroit he won't ever need one.

Wow, MI property taxes are only 0.7% of the home's value? Mine are 2.4% which if applied to this property would be $156k per year.

Michigan property taxes were cut maybe 25-30 years ago when a decision was made to have the lottery fund public schools. They are really cheap.
2nd homes however are taxed much higher

but they have a 4.25% flat State Income Tax.

 

[Wallace Breen]

Not a bad place. Oakland county is one of the nicest places in the country, from May through September. Winter, not so much, little snow but a lot of wind and bloody cold. When I retire I'll probably rotate between somewhere like that in Michigan or Wisconsin from May to September and Jerome, Arizona from October through April. If not, I would downgrade to somewhere a little cheaper on both ends.

 

[PSUSignore]

Honestly I'd rather have an income tax and lower property taxes, but Texas will never approve that. In fact in our last election voters approved to adding verbiage to the state constitution that makes it even harder than it already is to implement a state income tax here.

 

[MtNittany]

Looks like a high end rehab center.

Texas is messed up on how and where they derive their tax revenue base. It appears to be a tax-friendly state on the surface, until you dig deeper.

He has been hurt a lot.

 

[flinter]

After meticulous research and some day dreaming I figured out that I could swing it for just under 50 K a month. And with the Michigan winter-bonus!!

You'd have to give me $6.5 mil to take Detroit

With interest rates so incredibly low, go for it!

It's not bad if you live in a modestly valued home. The problem in Austin is home values are skyrocketing so the taxes are as well, and if you don't have plans to sell you never profit from the increase in home value but your tax expenses go through the roof anyway. I'd much rather see it tied to income levels.

 

[Madsol]

I have no problem recognizing beauty in other people's houses or appreciating features that other people have in their houses that I don't have. But there isn't one thing about Stafford's house that I find appealing. I would take it if he gave it to me...then I'd sell it.

 

[WestSideLion]

My wife’s aunt has lived in Grosse Point for 40 years. The buzz is that the Stanfords are selling because they have a few kids under 4 years old and want to get away from the lake.

That’s a heluva negotiation corner to back yourself into.

i thought his wife had cancer - bad. not a Detroit Lions fan but Bloomfield is a nice area. visited Cranbrook up there - very nice.

Brown felt on the pool table? You'd need a really hot redhead to make that work

Do they still celebrate Devils Night? If not I'm not interested.

Stafford himself gave that reason to the press to quell rumors he wanted to leave the Lions. How is that backing oneself into a negotiating corner? Everybody who's selling has a reason why. It matters that potential buyers know the true reason only if it reveals some urgent need to sell quickly. His rookie contract had something like $47 million guaranteed and he makes around $27 million annually under the contract extension he signed in 2017. He's got enough money to buy another very nice property and sit on that one as long as it takes to get the price he wants.

Because the whole world knows your wife wants to sell fast and will low ball you. You’re right. He’s filthy rich so it likely doesn’t matter. He can afford that mortgage times six. A $6.5 million mansion in Detroit. What could possibly be difficult?

 

[wbcincy]

That would not be anywhere near the place I'd want for $6.5m, but I do like Bloomfield Hills. Joe Muer seafood is particularly fantastic if you're in the area.

Less than that ... at this point I think the City of Detroit would pay you to take it.

According to zillow he paid $3.5 million for the house in 2013, so he's got a lot of negotiating room to work with.

When he retires, Stafford will likely have earned more than any other NFL player ever. As a career ~.500 QB.

She wants to move. And sell the property.

Where did you get that she wants to sell fast?
