The GOP’s rebutter for last night’s State of the Union Address, renounced big government and embraced Miami immigrants. But what he failed to address was his home listed for sale.

Rubio’s West Miami home where he’s currently residing with his family is on the market for $675,000. The 2,600-square-foot house is located on 6060 SW 13^th St., West Miami, 33144, according to Zillow. They bought the 4-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom home in 2005 for $550,000, it was listed in November 2012 and increased in value by $20,000 since. Zillow reported Miami homes increase 2 percent every month and overall up 16 percent from last year.

Zillow reports that Rubio has not disclosed where they will relocate. He’s lived in the West Miami community most of his life, and a place where he’s inherited his Cuban-American heritage.

While Rubio’s mention at the rebuttal address didn’t leave out major challenges such as the debt and Medicare, he starkly stated that federal programs need to be less restrictive and tax increases on the wealthy would not create private sector jobs.

“So Mr. President, I don’t oppose your plans because I want to protect the rich. I oppose your plans because I want to protect my neighbors,” Rubio said.

Tuesday night’s big eye-catcher was when Rubio took a response drink that still trending on the web. While in the middle of his speech he took a sudden step out of the camera frame to take a sip of water from a bottle, he tried to keep contact with the audience but his calm and collected demeanor wasn’t so subtle. As he returns the bottle back he grips his hands back and resumes his talk.

Later that night he tweeted a picture of the pint-sized Poland Spring bottle, still half full.
