Ben Affleck And JLo's Shared Mansion Has Been On The Market For Months Now. A Real Estate Expert Explains Why It's Taking So Long To Sell

As a longtime observer of celebrity lives, I must say that the drama surrounding Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce is nothing short of captivating. The saga of their shared mansion has been an intriguing rollercoaster ride, and it seems that the real estate market holds the key to their financial future.


The captivation surrounding celebrity relationships remains strong, with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce being a recent instance. However, the couple currently garnering the most attention is none other than Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Once known for causing an internet sensation by eloping in Las Vegas, their union is now on the verge of disintegration. For months, their shared mansion has been up for sale, leading to speculation as to why it’s proving difficult to find a buyer. A real estate expert offers insights into this prolonged process.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck separated in August following two years of marriage, and without a prenuptial agreement, they’re navigating a high-profile divorce process. A renowned divorce attorney is assisting them in dividing their assets, which include the $68 million mansion known as “Bennifer’s” residence, that has been up for sale for more than 100 days. Jason Oppenheim from the Netflix series ‘Selling Sunset’ discussed this with Realtor.com, explaining why selling the property now might be a logical decision.

As a home enthusiast, I must admit it was quite unexpected that this grand property found a new owner in under three-fourths of a year. Typically, houses of such scale take half a year or more to be sold, with some even lingering on the market for much longer periods.

There you have it. While the public might think that the mansion is taking a long time to sell, it’s fairly standard for a home of its size and price to sit on the market for a while. We’ll just have to wait how long it takes to actually find a buyer, and if the former couple gets the all the money that they’re hoping for.

The financial aspects of Ben and Jen’s divorce are being significantly influenced by their joint property, a shared residence. It has been reported that they suffered substantial losses from “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story,” which is available for streaming via Amazon Prime. This potential loss complicates the process of selling their house even further. In the same article, Oppenheim elaborated on the intricate financial situation associated with marketing this property, expressing:

It seems they might list their house for sale between $58 million and $60 million. This means they could face a significant financial loss, potentially up to several millions of dollars. The property is situated in the Beverly Hills Post Office district, which falls under Los Angeles city, not the independent city of Beverly Hills. Consequently, they’ll have to pay a mansion tax exceeding $3 million. After factoring in commissions, taxes, and other costs, their potential loss could exceed an additional $5 million.

Is anyone else feeling confused about the situation regarding Lopez and Affleck’s mansion sale? Although selling a house usually involves some complications, their case seems to be quite unusual. There’s a high risk of financial loss for them, even if they manage to find a buyer ready to pay top dollar. Moreover, the potential monetary losses don’t take into account the money they invested in renovating the property before moving in.

In time, we’ll find out what happens next, as fans are eagerly waiting to see if financial disputes over the mansion lead Affleck and Lopez to court. For now, mark your calendars for movie releases in 2025 to make your cinema plans for the upcoming year.
