Kristin Cavallari is heading for 'The Hills' ... looking to get out of Nashville ASAP -- and, she's willing to take a whole lot less for her home to do it.

The reality television star's Tennessee home is now listed for just under $9 million ... a $950K cut from the asking price she established in August 2024.

This was already a reduction from her original asking price ... 'cause she wanted $11 million when she put the house up in June 2024 -- so, clearly she's trying to get the property off her books.

Hall Jr. says the blaze came on him and his house so quickly -- he only had "probably tops of three minutes" to get some belongings and get out.

Dwyane Wade and Vinnie Hacker both threw on their beanies and flexed for a sexy snap, but only one of these tatted studs can be crowned the beanie champion.
