Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich selling Deerfield 4BDby Shania Sampson, published Jul 23, 2009 ·



Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich has listed for sale his four bedroom, 3.5-bath at 816 Castlewood Lane in Deerfield for the asking price of $829,000.

Hinrich paid $906,500 for the home in Aug. 2004. The 4,000-square-foot home was built in 2004 in the subdivision of Deerfield Park.

Nancy Greenberg of Coldwell Banker Previews International is the listing agent for the property.

Hinrich, 28, has spent six seasons with the Bulls since he was drafted by the team seventh overall in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft. A mainstay in the Bulls backcourt since then, he posted a career high 16.6 points per game in 2006-07 and started 80 games that season, helping lead the Bulls into the Eastern Conference semifinals. A regular starter for all but one season in Chicago, Hinrich has helped lead the team to the postseason four times in the past five seasons while posting a career average of 13.9 points and 6.1 assists per game.

Hinrich made the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2004 and was named to the All-NBA Defensive Second Team in 2007, and played for the U.S. men's national team at the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan.

Originally from Sioux City, Iowa, Hinrich played college ball at Kansas, where he led the Jayhawks to consecutive Final Four appearances during his junior and senior seasons. Hinrich and the Jayhawks reached the NCAA Championship Game in 2003, where they lost to the Syracuse Orangemen. Kansas retired Hinrich's No. 10 jersey in March.

There were 172 home sales in Deerfield in 2008, with a median sales price of $408,000.

Sounds like Blazers inching closer to a deal. Nothing imminent, but team has 2 deals they like and believe 1 could happen soon ..

Rumors have everyone from David Lee to Andre Miller ... but nothing confirmed yet and nothing tonight

@SportsWorld40 Don't know about Hinrich selling house, but Blazers would still love to get their hands on Hinrich and 3 way w/UT is the way

It's also really close to the Tri-State, which, I don't know, wouldn't exactly be a big selling point to me if I were shopping for homes just shy of a million bucks.

The house is only 4 years old so most likely the people who bought it for $315k tore down the house on the property and built this one. That is pretty common in this area.

Anyone else think it is weird that it is already empty? Also, Zillow says it has been on the market for 287 days. I am guessing he has just re-listed it with another realtor who issued a press release to make it sound like a new listing...

The price is just outside the limit for a conforming mortgage, and it's not nice enough or in a nice enough location to attract a cash buyer.

Why do they feel the need to go into where he went to college, rookie stats, basically his whole career when the main point of discussion is that he's selling his house.

Maybe he's moving in with Lu haha.
