Bill Belichick is just weeks from debuting as UNC Chapel Hill's head football coach.

Why it matters: He's under a five-year, $10 million-a-year deal, and his home pick could reveal how long he plans to stay.

Driving the news: Single-game and season tickets for games in Chapel Hill have already sold out, so it's safe to say people are highly anticipating the start of the season.

What we're watching: It's unclear if Belichick has purchased a home in the area, but this past spring, he moved into the historic DuBose House on campus with girlfriend Jordon Hudson.

The intrigue: Hudson reportedly has an $8 million property portfolio, according to Realtor.com, which dubbed her a budding real estate mogul.

Here are four houses for sale in Chapel Hill that they might consider during their North Carolina house hunt.

Mack Brown's former mansion — $6,600,000

This 1920s home is within walking distance of campus. It's also where former UNC football coach Mack Brown used to live during the season before he got fired in November.
