Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, may have settled their divorce, but their marital home is far from being worked out. According to TMZ’s report, the former couple is in disagreement over the sale of the $68 million mansion in Beverly Hills, California. The home has been on sale since July but has yet to find a buyer. Meanwhile, real estate experts told the outlet that the LA home’s price is too steep to sell.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are not on the same page about mansion price, say ‘sources’
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are having a difficult time selling their marital home. According to TMZ, the former spouses are on different pages regarding the mansion’s sale price. The “Accountant 2” actor reportedly wants to lower the price, but the pop star is still waiting for a buyer. Their Beverly Hills estate is currently listed on the market for a whopping $68 million. It has been nine months, and the exes have had no luck.
Real estate agents told TMZ that Lopez and Affleck’s sale price for their marital home is “way too high.” Some also suggested that the former couple should drop the rate by at least 15% for the house to have any scope of selling. A source claimed that the exes bought the mansion in May 2023 at an overpriced rate of over $60 million.
The sources further cited higher insurance costs for the house as a reason for losing buyers’ interest. Given the LA wildfires in January this year, the estimated insurance reportedly goes up to $500,000 a year. Another TMZ report stated the ex-couple almost had a buyer for their mansion in September last year. A family offered to buy the home for $64 million but pulled out of escrow for personal reasons.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck met in 2002 and ended their engagement two years later. The exes rekindled their romance and tied the knot in July 2022. However, last August, Lopez filed for divorce from her ex-husband, which was finalized in January.
