The housing market is difficult for everyone involved, and this does not exclude famous celebrities Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck in their Beverly Hills Mansion.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who are going through a rough divorce, are attempting to sell their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion. While there was a couple in line to purchase the mansion, they suffered a death in the family.
The couple from New Jersey was in line to purchase the home for an impressive $64 million. Despite the recent tragedy, the couple is still interested in purchasing the home.
Ben and Jennifer agreed to sell the home that they purchased in cash for $60 million. While it may look like a significant increase, the Hollywood couple would be selling the house at a loss. This is due to the additional expenses, which includes a $5.25% mansion tax and fees from the realtor. This also includes the millions paid for previous renovations of the home.
About the Home
The enormous mansion includes a 5,000 acre guesthouse, a caretaker house, and a guardhouse. The guardhouse alone is the size of some homes in America with two bedrooms and a bathroom. In addition to the impressive houses aside from the mansion, it has a 12 car garage, a gym, a boxing ring and a sports lounge. The property would not complete without an impressive basketball and pickle ball court.
Lopez is on record stating she never truly loved the mansion, it was more of a compromise on her part. According to Hindustan Times, “She agreed to it because of its spacious layout, accommodating both their families, a gym and a pickleball court, office space, plus it has two private entrances.”
Moving Forward
While the couple did have to back out of the deal, they do plan on going through with the sale in the future.
