In a surprise but calculated step, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck officially pulled their stunning Beverly Hills mega-mansion off the market after being unable to sell it for almost a year. The pair had bought the mansion for $60.85 million on May 15, 2023, as part of their honeymoon-after-homeward plan, but put it on the open market during July 2024 following growing speculation about marital stress.
The 38,000-square-foot estate in the luxury Wallingford Estates enclaves contains 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, two-bedroom guard house, and 12-car garage. Ultra-luxury is the master plan in the architect's imagination with the home also boasting indoor sports complex with basketball court, gym, boxing ring, pickleball court, salon, spa, and a ginormous zero-edge pool overlooking city view.
Even with all of these luxurious features and extensive post-purchase remodels, the home never sold. Lopez and Affleck were offering the home off-market in June 2024. Lopez and Affleck put the home on the market for $68 million in July 2024. When the home attracted little interest, they dropped their asking price to $59.95 million in May 2025, to no success once more. The listing was completely pulled through July 3, 2025.
The shared business decision to float was placed on the backburner, not on a disagreement on personal opinion, said individuals familiar with both of them. The super-premium property market has frozen up, and homes in this sector have proven hard to sell at a hurry-even A-listers. The couple apparently instead did not want to face the extreme financial loss as the Los Angeles mansion tax, excessive maintenance fees, and decreased pool of purchasers rendered it a better option to keep the home in their own possession temporarily.
Its upkeep is expensive. Monthly mortgage and upkeep expenses run over $280,000 based on estimates, not including Los Angeles's new "mansion tax" that would have been tacked on to the sale if the house sold.
Since they split, which they did a while back this year, Lopez has been staying temporarily at the Beverly Hills compound as they keep messing about with her spanking-new $18 million Hidden Hills mansion. Affleck relocated to a $20 million Pacific Palisades residence mid-2024 so that he might be closer to his children.
The residence had been the new hotness of early 2000s power couple, but its unsellability is reflective of the general problems of the present luxury housing market. Market participants are nonetheless certain, though, that the residence would be re-listed on the market once the market recovers.
This Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck latest news illustrates that even stardom occasionally does not convert to lucrative sale of property. The house remains off-market, a stunning architectural gem without a new owner in sight.
