Over the last decade, media outlets have taken a focused interest in the housing market and its shifts. Experts debate what homes are worth, whether or not interest rates are too high, and how the younger generations approach homeownership. But no matter your social or financial status, selling houses can be a pain. Even well-known celebrities have struggled to offload their luxurious homes, proving that just because you’re famous, a quick sale isn’t guaranteed! Take a look at our list below, which includes some celebrity houses that are still on the market today, and others that took a real hit when they finally sold years later.
Jennifer Lopez (J. Lo)
Jennifer Lopez rocked the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, proving that she’s still got it. The actress, dancer, and singer is reportedly worth $400 million, and she’s earned every penny of it. Her New York penthouse takes up the top floor of the Whitman building, with 15 rooms flooded with light. The 4 bedrooms include a master suite with a private dressing room and 2 bathrooms – one of which houses a soaking tub. Oak floors, high ceilings, and a gourmet kitchen should have been enough to lure buyers in. However, the Whitman building has incredibly high fees, and that may have raised concerns for some. In October 2017, the penthouse was listed for $27 million. J. Lo dropped the price to $25 million in 2019, and the home of this superstar was available for four years with no offers made.
