It appears Bristol Palin has moved to the lower 48 – and may even be going to college there. The former Alaskan governor’s daughter dropped $172,000 in cash for a 5-bedroom house in Maricopa, Arizona, TMZ first reported.
“I’m not sure why she wanted to buy that home, but we are real happy for her,” Michael Smith, who owned the house with his wife, told The Arizona Republic. “She seems like a nice girl. We’re excited for her.” The 20-year-old single mom was also telling friends she was thinking about enrolling in college in Arizona, TMZ.com reported.
The website speculated that she’s thinking about enrolling at Arizona State – the same school that denied President Obama an honorary degree when he spoke there.
The 3,900 sq.-foot estate was built in 2006 and originally sold for $329,560, the AP reported. But after the housing market crashed, the two-bedroom house went into foreclosure and was sold to the Smiths for about a third of that price. Arizona is also notably the home state of John McCain, her mother’s running mate in the 2008 election.
Palin recently finished competing on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and spends her time traveling around the country encouraging teens to practice abstinence.
No one from the Palin camp has publicly commented on the recent real estate buy. On her Facebook page, where both she and her mother usually communicate with fans, she only posted a Christmas wish for her followers.
“I hope everyone has an opportunity to reflect on what is truly important and to create a Christmas memory that will last a lifetime,” she wrote. source
