NBA Star Nick Young Sells California Home at a Loss

NBA star Nick Young has just sold his Tarzana, California home for $3.25 million, a $200,000 loss.

The newly signed Golden State Warriors point guard bought the San Fernando Valley home for $3.45 million in 2013 through the 2 LEGIT 2 QUIT TRUST, for which his mother, Mae Young, is listed as a trustee, records show. This sale has yet to hit public records.

"I enjoyed my time at the house, but it was time to move on to focus on this upcoming season with the Warriors. I will find my ideal house when the time is right," Mr. Young told Mansion Global in an email statement.

It is not know whether Mr. Young, 32, will focus any future real estate searches in his hometown of Los Angeles, or closer to the Bay Area where the Warriors are based.  

The 6,630-square-foot house—which hit the market in April with an asking price of $3.595 million—has six bedrooms, a chef's kitchen, a formal living room and a game room. Outside there’s a pool, a spa, a basketball court (which Mr. Young didn’t install), an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit.

"He was just ready to move and find something a little more his style," said Kofi Nartey of Compass, the listing agent.

The property’s guest house has a living room, a full kitchen and two bathrooms.

Mr. Young embarked on a few little customizations of the home Mr. Nartey said, but no major changes. He previously lived there with his ex-fiancee, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, but they split up in 2016, according to reports.

The previous owner of the house was pop star Selena Gomez, who purchased it through Warren Street Trust. She paid $2.175 million in 2011, records show.

Last week, Mr. Young’s teammate Stephen Curry, sold his Walnut Creek, California, mansion for $2.94 million; he also took a loss.

The sale was first reported by the Daily Mail.
