‘It’s Clear The Criminal Allegation Has Impacted Buyer Interest.’ Home Diddy Used For Freak Offs Still On The Market Months After Mogul Listed It For Millions

by

As a seasoned gamer who has navigated countless digital realms and virtual markets, I find myself intrigued by the real-world property market shenanigans unfolding before our eyes. The tale of Diddy’s Beverly Hills mansion is like a high-stakes game of Monopoly, where the roll of the dice has landed him in a tricky situation.

On Thanksgiving Day, Diddy found himself behind bars as a judge turned down his bond request for the third time, leaving him in prison with a menu of traditional dishes for its residents. With his court date set for May 5, 2025, his LA home remains unsold, having been on the market for almost three months since he decided to sell it back in December. This luxurious Beverly Hills estate was previously targeted by federal agents in March, and according to reports, negative publicity has deterred potential buyers from making a purchase.

The Holmby Hills mansion is located on “Millionaire’s Avenue,” sharing prestigious neighbors with figures like Kylie Jenner and the Playboy Mansion. Notably, this property was linked to Sean “P. Diddy” Combs during his well-known multi-day events called Freak Offs. During a raid, authorities uncovered over a thousand bottles of lubricant within the house. The rapper has faced accusations of using drugs and alcohol at these parties to persuade participants into sexual acts that were filmed. A source shared with People that the notoriety surrounding the home has lessened its appeal, stating that the publicity has dampened interest.

Although the property boasts breathtaking beauty, it seems that the accusations of wrongdoing have dampened potential buyers’ enthusiasm. While there has been some intrigue from notable foreign investors, no substantial bids have been made yet.

As per the information provided, the only viable approach seems to be locating a purchaser who can look past the sensationalized news. However, this might not be as straightforward as it sounds, and indeed, it’s likely to be quite challenging – essentially, a tough climb ahead. Furthermore, they added:

In this current market, potential buyers are being more careful, which makes things harder. Add to that the property’s prominent status and the recent news associated with it, and selling becomes even more difficult.

Additionally, the dimensions and cost of the property might be significant factors as well. It’s been reported that P. Diddy is aiming to turn a profit by asking for $61 million for his residence, which he originally purchased for $40 million a decade ago. Similarly, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are encountering difficulties selling their family home due to their divorce. They put their house up for sale this summer at a price of $68 million, but so far haven’t received any substantial offers.

In Bennifer’s situation, it appears that having such a large property on the market for an extended period isn’t particularly unusual, as Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim has noted similar properties tend to remain listed for six months or more. Regarding Diddy, the key concern lies in whether and to what extent investors might be deterred by his arrest and the allegations against him.

Despite garnering media attention, a house with a notable history doesn’t necessarily deter potential buyers. For instance, the property where Matthew Perry was discovered deceased in his hot tub in October 2023 was purchased for $8.55 million, a year after the unfortunate event. Notably, this price is significantly lower than what Diddy, JLo and Ben Affleck are seeking for their respective homes on the market.

Sean Combs owns a 17,000-square-foot mansion boasting 8 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, featuring amenities such as a gym, wine cellar, recording studio, movie theater, and a separate 3,000-square-foot guest house. It appears that Diddy has maintained his primary residence in Miami, and it seems the intention to sell this Beverly Hills property was not due to legal issues, but had been part of the plan all along. We’ll have to wait and see if he successfully carries out this sale.
