Yes, Bobby Petrino Is Selling His House, But Don't Freak Out, Arkansas Fans

Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino has put his multi-million dollar Fayetteville estate on the market.

Don't panic, though, Arkansas fans. This isn't necessarily a sign that Petrino is skipping town.

A source familiar with the situation said that a number of factors have contributed to the 8,000-plus square foot Petrino house going on the market. 

Petrino's youngest daughter will graduate from high school in May. That means none of Bobby and Becky's four children will be living at home in the near future.

Plus, the source said, the family owns a home in Atlanta and with the housing market being what it is - particularly in Atlanta - the burden of owning two multi-million dollar homes is a bit much even on a $2.85 million salary.

Lindsey and Associates has the home listed, but has since pulled the description and accompanying photos down from its website. We can tell you a little bit about the home: it has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a pool and a custom designed putting green located on three acres.

Here's some more info from Arkansas Business on the home, purchased in April 2007:

Bobby and Rebecca Petrino purchased the 6,450-SF, two-story home located at 4518 E. Bridgewater Ln. in Fayetteville's Bridgewater Estates from Justin and Susan Salter for $2.25 million.

The Salters built the home in 2006. In 2007, the home appraised for $1.17 million.


Bobby Petrino is the new head football coach for the University of Arkansas.


The Petrinos purchased their home with a $2.14 million mortgage from Signature Bank of Arkansas.

Petrino lives in an area of East Fayetteville that is also home to baseball coach Dave Van Horn and basketball coach John Pelphrey. No word on where Petrino will relocate if/when the house sales.
