Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are facing fresh hurdles in their attempt to sell their mansion in Beverly Hills. They had a $64 million offer for the home, but the potential buyers from New Jersey had to withdraw from the deal because of a personal loss. Despite this setback, the couple is said to still be interested in selling the property.
Even with the $64 million sale price, Lopez and Affleck could incur financial losses when considering a 5.25 percent mansion tax, realtor commissions, and the costs related to extensive renovations. They initially acquired the estate for $60.8 million in 2023.
The estate was first listed at $68 million, covering five acres and featuring a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a caretaker’s house, and a two-bedroom guardhouse, with parking available for up to 80 cars. Amenities include a gym, boxing ring, sports lounge, and courts for basketball and pickleball.
Lopez’s considerations
A source has reported that Lopez was never a fan of the home’s modern style, and purchasing it was primarily Affleck‘s suggestion, which made it a significant compromise for her.
“She accepted the home due to its ample space, which suits their families, as well as the gym and pickleball court, office space, and two private entrances,” a source shared with People.
Affleck has moved out of that mansion, opting to rent a house in Brentwood to be closer to his children, and he has also bought a $20.5 million home in Pacific Palisades in July.
“Ben is very pleased with his new residence and feels optimistic about the change,” an insider disclosed to Entertainment Tonight. “He wanted to relocate to be nearer to [ex-wife] Jen[nifer] Garner and their kids.”
At the same time, Lopez has been on the lookout for a new place, with her latest property visit being a $22 million home in Beverly Hills.
