He's trying to unload his NOVA house (that he's marked up $5MM+/- from when he bought it) and has already bought another house in Florida. I think he's ready to ride off into the sunset...
his oldest turns 4 this November. They may be figuring that they are getting to the point they need to think about keeping the kids in one spot for September to June for pre-school / K/ grade school rather than moving them around with nanny care according to Max's schedule. I don't think they made their off-season home in McLean, and its probably more than Max needs even if he extends here. I could see them just renting up here if the home sells and he's back for another year or two.
