Biles reflects on six years of memories
Biles gave fans a look inside the property, showing rooms that had been emptied of furniture before taking them outside to the backyard, which featured a swimming pool.
“I was here for six years, and I feel like there were just so many good memories, so many bad memories. But I feel like I grew up in this house. It’s made me a real adult, so I’m gonna miss it. Ugh, I didn’t think I’d be emotional about a house,” Biles mentioned.
Near the end of the video, she became emotional once more as she expressed her hope that the house would hold the same special meaning for its new owners that it had for her. “Whoever buys this house, I hope it brings you as much joy as it did for me,” she concluded.
