Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appear unable to move on from their past. We’re not referring to their reported make-out session that left fans puzzled but rather to their $68 million mansion. Shortly after their split, they publicly listed their marital home, but a potential buyer recently fell through.
Initially, the house struggled to attract interest, but Lopez and Affleck reportedly received an offer from a couple in New Jersey who were enamored with their 38,000-square-foot Beverly Hills home, proposing $64 million.
Despite accepting the offer and being close to selling, tragedy struck when a death in the New Jersey couple’s family forced them to withdraw from escrow, even though they remained interested in the luxurious property.
According to TMZ, Lopez and Affleck may end up losing money on the sale due to renovations, Los Angeles’ mansion tax, and their broker’s fees. However, that doesn’t seem to concern them. Beverly Hills luxury real estate agent Josh Flagg previously told People that since Lopez and Affleck listed the home “relatively close to what they paid for it,” it’s evident they are eager to sell.
He remarked, “Generally, people do not sell their primary residence a year after they buy it unless there is a divorce, a death, or some kind of desperation. I’m guessing they won’t walk away with a profit; they’ll likely break even or incur a small loss.”
Despite their intentions to sell the mansion, along with Affleck purchasing a new home and Lopez searching for one, it seems this mega-mansion may remain on the market for some time.
