Curt Schilling's broke status is eportedly due to his battle with cancer. Because of this, he is now forced to sell his home in Medfield, Massachusetts and the price on the house was cut by $500,000. Curt Schilling's broke ow and his battle with cancer, which surfaced in February, has played a major role in this. Schilling's health, career and future are now in question.
Curt Schilling's broke status and financial troubles began after a failed experiment in opening a video game studio. He and his wife Shonda have since been looking to put their struggles behind them.
Before news spread of Curt Schilling's broke status, his Medfield home was originally listed at $3 million with Redfin realty. The price cut of half a million came after the 26-acre home had been on the market for months and still without any buyer. The listing stated recently that Schilling is now willing to accept offers between $2.5 million and $2.7 million.
It was only October of last year that the Schilling family hosted an estate sale at the home, in hopes of looking to make some money before selling the home. The Schilling family has tried to keep their affairs private, but because of Curt's cancer battle breaking out on the news, the family wanted to let concerned fans know that the 47-year-old is doing fine.
Schilling has been receiving regular treatment and in the past months has needed at least two surgeries. This in part has contributed to Curt Schilling's broke status. Although the family has not confirmed the type of cancer that Schilling is facing right now, it is grave enough to risk his future as an announcer. Many suspect though that the reason for the cancer is smokeless tobacco.
The Medfield home has been owned by the Schillings since 2004. They bought it from former New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe. They paid $4.5 million for the home when Curt was traded to the Boston Red Sox, which was also around the time that Schilling won 20 games, pitched the bloody sock game, and put to rest once and for all the curse of the great Bambino.
But now, Curt Schilling's broke, and he and his family is forced to sell the home for a much lower price than it deserves. The home offers a pool, fireplaces, sports amenities, and a library. Curt's wife Shonda wanted to sell the home back in October so the family could downsize to a smaller place. Six months later and still there is no buyer.
Curt Schilling's broke status has definitely been affected by his medical expenses. Meanwhile, the Schilling family has not released an official statement on the status of his cancer, but the price cut on Curt Schilling's home reveals that the family is eager for a buyer in the near future.
