Geithner, who moved to the DC suburbs from the suburbs of New York City in 2009 to advise President Barack Obama on a downtrodden economy, left the administration in January. The four-bedroom home of Geithner and his wife, Carole, sold for $995,000—about $45,000 more than what they paid for it in 2009, CurbedDC reported.
Geithner will work as a fellow for the Council on Foreign Relations, according to The Post.
