Clintons Continue Hunting for a Home
- Share via
As millions of Americans rushed out to return Christmas gifts, President Clinton was still looking to pick something up: a new place to live in Washington. The Clintons came close over Christmas weekend to having another place to call home but couldn’t agree with the owner on a price. According to the Washington Post, which cited “a source familiar with the deal,” the owners wanted $2.199 million, the Clintons offered $1.7 million, and the owners said they would settle for $1.99 million. But no deal was reached. White House officials refused to talk about the first family’s house-hunting. But Clinton watchers around town have seen the first lady and the president touring homes in Washington’s tonier neighborhoods, including Cleveland Park, Georgetown, Foxhall and Kalorama.
