It appears it’s just a matter of time before Gio Stanton comes to grips with the fact that he’s moving to St. Louis for at least the next three summers and that’s that.
He’s rich.
And he’s going to need a place when he’s in town.
So let’s help him find his first Midwest home.
+++++
According to the USA Today, Stanton has a pretty nice set-up in Miami.
The South Florida Business Journal reports Stanton paid between 1.8M and 6.6M for this 5 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom condo.
So let’s use those parameters on Zillow.com to see what’s currently on the market in the STL that’s a good comp.
Looks like we’ve got 7 options in the area. Thought we might have more to work with – BUT NO WORRIES – we’ll make this work.
Gio is a busy guy and as the holidays get closer, his time is at a premium, so why don’t we just rank the best 3 options and he can pick one?
