After slowing down in the simmering summer months, the hamster is back spinning away on the great CELEBRESTATE wheel. There was a bevy of activity on the celebrity real estate trail this week, with primetime celebrities o’ plenty, buying, selling and flipping their way into the blogosphere.
Selena Gomez Reportedly Buys Jonah Hill’s Pad
Tarzana, CA –Justin Bieber is enjoying his newfound adulthood in a brand new mansion in Calabasas, but apparently that doesn’t entail shacking up with girlfriend Selena Gomez. The budding actress, who is currently filming scenes for her brand new movie, Feed the Dog, has reportedly zeroed in on a place of her own – the Tarzana bachelor pad of actor-comedian Jonah Hill.
It’s a quick flip for Hill, who purchased the 4,650 square foot property in September of 2011 for $2.175 million. Exactly how much Gomez shelled out for Hill’s former digs has yet to be reported, but the home previously sported a price tag of $2.9 million.
Ellen DeGeneres Flips Brad Pitt’s Former Beach House
Malibu, CA – Brad Pitt’s former Malibu beach house is changing hands once again. Less than year after buying from Angelie Jolie’s fiancé, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have decided to make a quick buck on the picturesque pad. The celebrity couple paid $12 million for the home back in December of 2011 and will bank roughly a million after selling it for $13 million.
DeGeneres has been one of the bigger celebrity real estate moguls of 2012. Back in June, the television personality offloaded her Beverly Hills compound to a certain American Idol host, which brings us to our next story…
Ryan Seacrest Sells Mansion For a Loss
Hollywood Hills, CA – Having taken up residence in Ellen’s former mega-mansion, a mega-mansion he paid approximately $37 million for, Ryan Seacrest opted to put his other home on the market. That particular property – a jammin’ 8,000 square-foot mansion with a detached nightclub and other very Ryan Seacrest-y features – has reportedly sold at a loss.
TMZ brings word that the television personality stands to lose roughly half a million on the property, which he previously purchased from Kevin Costner (who purchased it from none other than Richard Dreyfuss) in 2006 for $11.5 million.
Kelsey Grammer and Ex-Wife Camille Continue Real Estate Purge
Malibu , CA - The great real estate purge of Kelsey Grammer and ex-wife Camille continued this week with the former celebrity couple listing their former Malibu property – the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mansion. The 4.75-acre oceanfront compound, which can be had for $17.5 million, is the third property of the Grammers’ massive real estate portfolio to hit the market since their divorce was finalized in 2011.
The pair previously listed a Beaver Creek ski home in October for $7.3 million and a Beverly Hills mansion in May for $17.99 million.
I guess the new thing among collegiate head coaches is selling their homes right before the start of the college football season. Not one, but two notable coaching names in the FBS world jumped on the ‘For Sale’ train this week. Cal’s Jeff Tedford was first, listing a picturesque Danville spread for $5.35 million, followed by Mr. Boomer Sooner himself, Bob Stoops, who is selling his own $2.1 million estate in Norman.
Is the cast of Friends gearing up for another real estate push? The sitcom stars were major players in 2011, but have been relatively quiet in 2012 – save for a Jennifer Aniston manse purchase, or two. That was, of course, until this week when Matt LeBlanc auditioned for a new role: landlord. The Episodes star is leasing his 1930’s Spanish Estate in Pacific Palisades for roughly $13,000-a-month.
