Well, considering the housing market lately, that didn’t take long.

Carson Palmer’s house, which was put on the market in late March, took less than two months to find a buyer. Comey & Shepherd Realtors lists the Indian Hill property as "under contract" http://www2.comey.com/displaylist.asw?li...&mls=cincy . The five-bedroom, two-story property in Indian Hill had an asking price of $2.1 million.

The house, made of stone and brick, sits on five acres and also features a gourmet kitchen, 5 1/2 bathrooms, solarium, swimming pool, spa, golf green and pond.

The real estate listing describes Palmer’s house ”an exceptional home that exudes comfort, character and privacy.”

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis has said since the scouting combine that the team was moving on without Palmer after a meeting in early February between the two. Since then the team has drafted Andy Dalton but Lewis did indicate last week that if Palmer decided to return, he would be the starter.

Palmer, who would be entering his ninth season, has asked to be traded or he would retire. He is scheduled to make $11.5 million in base salary this year. The contract, which has four years remaining, would pay Palmer $53 million ($50 million in base and $1 million in roster bonuses in 2012, ’13 and ’14).
