Imprisoned ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his wife, Carlita, have sold their Tallahassee, Fla vacation home in the Summerbrooke subdivision following the text-message scand al that exploded last January.
The brick home was sold earlier this month for a loss, mirroring the housing woes of northern Florida and the rest of the country. The Kilpatricks bought the 3,050-square-foot house in June 2007 for $430,000. But real estate broker Gary Bartlett confirmed the home sold for $365,000, according to the Detroit Free Press.
