Alex Rodriguez Just Sold His Upper West Side Condo Only Eight Months After He Bought It

After an exhausting real estate search in New York City last year, Alex Rodriguez decided on a condo in the Rushmore on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

He bought the place for $5.5 million, and put it back on the market eight months later in October with an $8 million asking price, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The buying price is undisclosed, but sources told the WSJ it was enough for A-Rod to make a profit.

Some are speculating he bought and sold the apartment so quickly because A-Rod's "well-publicized purchase" of the condo made other availabilities in the Rushmore fly off the market, making prices go up.
