Sold
Who says the housing market has gone south?
After nearly a year on the market, former Iowa basketball coach Steve Alford has finally sold the 10,000-square foot home he had built for his family in Coralville during his tenure with the Hawkeyes.
Jeff Whitehead, an Iowa City resident whose family includes six children, paid $1.2 million for the house which was constructed in 2003 and sits on a two-acre lot north of Interstate 80. The listing for the property indicated that the home includes a gym, sauna and locker room, a pool, built-in hot tub and spa as well as a projection TV room.
The initial asking price for the property which has been on the market since Alford left for New Mexico last April was $1.6 million. According to Johnson County records, it had an assessed value of $1.3 million in 2007.
Current Iowa coach Todd Lickliter has been asked if he had any interest in the property. He has consistently deadpanned that his wife thought it would be too much to clean.
