No, “off the market” does not mean “sold,” or even “under contract.” The condo, at 18th and S, is simply no longer for sale. I happen to know they got at least one good offer, so my guess is Rod and Patti decided this wasn’t the best time to be transferring assets, given his precarious legal position. I wonder if they’ll try to find tenants. Take it from me, potential Blago lessees, it’s not so bad.

Oh boy. As I’ve written here before, I used to live in Rod and Patti Blagojevich’s Dupont Circle condo. My emails with Patti regarding landlord/tenant issues have somehow landed me on the list she has been using to publicize Rod’s new book, due out Sept. 8. According to an email I got today, the book will present “the truth behind the political scandal that continues to rock the nation.” Rod will be on quite a publicity tour, including the View and the Daily Show, so if you thought he had begun to recede from the spotlight you were wrong.
In other Blago news, there has been no movement on their condo at 18th and S. The price is still listed at the reduced $524,900 Maybe after all the book proceeds roll in they will accept a lower offer?

In a random coincidence that has given me an amazing cocktail party story I will tell for years, I used to live in Rod and Patti Blagojevich’s Dupont condo. I rented it from them for two years and just moved out this May, only three months ago, after Patti informed my roommate and me that they had decided to sell.
Initially, they priced the condo at $570,000. I now see it listed for a reduced price $524,900, which seems much more reasonable to me. But is it priced to move? I’m watching the situation closely and will post any breaking Blago condo news here. In the meantime, here is an insider’s view of the digs. In general the place is great. Beautiful floors and lots of light. However, dealing with the claustrophobic kitchen for two years nearly killed me. It is the main reason I didn’t seriously considering exercising my TOPA rights and snatching up the place. But, if you don’t do much cooking and you’re in the market, you really should check it out.
Photos after the jump.
