Mansion Price Holds Steady

The $68 million Beverly Hills mansion hasn’t budged on price since it was listed in mid-2024. While Jennifer Lopez is reportedly holding out for a strong offer, Ben Affleck is said to prefer a quicker sale.

Inside Ben’s $60 Million Mansion

The mansion, located in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, was purchased for around $60 million in 2023. It spans 38,000 square feet, offering luxury and privacy.

With 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and lavish amenities, it’s a prime example of high-end real estate. The estate includes a 12-car garage, an elevator, and expansive outdoor space, making it one of the most exclusive properties in the area.

Mansion Price Stays at $68 Million

Jennifer Lopez is resisting a price cut on the former couple’s Beverly Hills estate, which is listed at $68 million. Despite no serious interest since the start of the year, she remains firm on the asking price.

The property was listed in July 2024, but J.Lo is unwilling to lower the price. The mansion’s future remains uncertain as negotiations continue.

Question mark heap on table.

Why the Mansion Is Selling

Reports suggest that growing marital tensions could be a major reason for selling the mansion. There are also rumors that the former couple wants to downsize due to their hectic schedules.

Some insiders believe the sale is part of a bigger financial and personal strategy. So far, neither party has publicly confirmed the real reason.

Luxury Mansion Struggles to Sell

The high-end real estate market has slowed, making it difficult to sell luxury homes. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s Beverly Hills mansion has struggled to attract serious buyers.

Agents suggest the price needs to drop by at least 15% to create interest. Without a major cut, the property could sit on the market much longer.

Reasons Behind Ben and J.Lo’s Separation

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez separated in 2024 after months of personal struggles. Sources reveal that tensions over blending their families and balancing demanding careers contributed to the split.

Ben and J.Lo Discuss Divorce

Ben Affleck described his divorce from Jennifer Lopez as “embarrassing” and “vulnerable,” clarifying that there was “no scandal, no soap opera.” He acknowledged that differing temperaments and approaches to public life played a role, but emphasized that the reasons were not dramatic.

Jennifer Lopez cited “irreconcilable differences” in her filing and requested her maiden name. She has not elaborated on the split’s specifics.

High Insurance Costs Delay Sale

L.A. was hit hard by wildfires in January, leaving entire neighborhoods devastated. As a result, fire insurance prices have skyrocketed, making high-end properties harder to sell.

California’s wildfire risk has pushed insurance premiums higher, especially in upscale neighborhoods. While the exact figures for Ben and J.Lo’s mansion aren’t public, rising coverage costs have become a growing concern for buyers in the luxury market.

First Offer for Mansion Collapses

However, the deal fell apart when the buyers decided to walk away from escrow. As a result, the mansion remains unsold and still on the market.
