Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has become some kind of a celebrity thanks, or not thanks to his illegal entanglements which cost him position but gained him some kind of notoriety. He is so infamous that even his house has become the target of real estate rumor mongers who are still debating whether Blagojevich is selling his house. The rumors came after ABC 7 in Chicago featured a story on the governor’s home plan. It was purely speculation as to how much his home would fetch in case he decides to sell it.  This prompted Zestimate to place his 2934 W Sunnyside Avenue Chicago home at around $963,000.

The problem started when CBS-2 reported that Blagojevich’s home is on sale at Zillow.  The same news was picked up by Chicago’s KNX 1070 News Radio and there the smoke became fire. A representative of the governor however denied that Blagojevich’s home is up for sale. The governor’s home has been valued at a range of $661,710 to $1.074 million. The 3,817 square foot home which sits on a 5,063 square foot lot has 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. Blagojevich has been ousted by the Senate last Thursday on a vote of 59-0 for abuse of power.  He is replaced by his former running mate Patrick Quinn.
