Listing price is only $35! The old Durant Oscar house is on sale and is actually worth about $1 million

On July 24, according to the New York Post, if you live in the Oklahoma City Thunder area and have $35 in your hand, you may be able to afford Kevin Durant's old house. Of course, this is not the case. But to increase the attention of the townhouse, the real estate company listed it at $35 - the jersey number when Durant played for the team, but there have been quotes that meet their true value since then.

The house was originally designed by Durant himself, and he sold it after leaving Oklahoma City. Now the person who bought the house from him was on sale. "After we started selling the property, Durant's designers came here and said, 'Oh my god, all the colors here were chosen for him.' We hope that a buyer will fall in love with the house, and maybe we can talk to them about the specific numbers of the offer." The actual value of this house is about $1 million.

Durant was selected by the then Seattle Supersonics in 2007 and spent his rookie season with the team. When the team moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, Durant was still on the team and played for the team until the 2015-16 season.

While playing for Oklahoma City, he won the 2014 NBA regular season Most Valuable Player Award, was selected into the All-Star squad seven times, and led the team to the NBA Finals in 2012. The New York Post joked that Durant, the two-time NBA champion, bought his old house more than a million times, would be more than enough.

It is reported that the house covers an area of about 363 square meters, is equipped with all-star facilities and an excellent geographical location, but it was listed at only $35 when it was listed in late May. This jaw-dropping price tag has attracted a lot of public attention and received amazingly high offers.

On the court, this kind of operation will be called "fake action", but in the real estate industry, it is called a marketing gimmick. Lackpole explained: "The owner thinks basketball enthusiasts or Kevin Durant fans are interested in owning such a 'historical collection'." The purpose is to let the buyer judge how much the house is worth by himself.

According to data from Zillow (the US Real Estate Information Platform), the current homeowner bought the property for $1.15 million in 2017. Obviously, they look forward to getting a return from this investment. "Homeowners expect to receive a offer of around $1 million," Lackpoll said in an email. Durant, 37, joined the Rockets this offseason, is his fifth team, but he once regarded Oklahoma City as his home. In 2012, the year he led the Thunder into the NBA Finals, Durant bought two townhouses on the same street for a total price of $1.76 million. In 2017, the second year he signed with the Warriors, he sold the property, which is currently priced at $35, to a neighbor.

This three-storey brick home is only a 5-minute drive from Thunder Paycom Stadium, no wonder Durant chose this place as his home. According to the listing information, the property includes 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 kitchens and a double parking garage. The three floors are connected by a private elevator and are equipped with high-end decoration and designer lamps.

Become an owner of this luxurious community and also have access to clubs and aquatic centers. Durant has left his own unique design mark on the property, including an ultra-high shower and an extra-long bathtub.

reported that most of the furniture and artworks left in the house were once Durant's. The current homeowner, a fan of Durant and a former neighbor, chose to retain the star's interior style, including bright colors and gorgeous lighting.
