Ben Affleck Wants to Lower Selling Price on Beverly Hills Mansion, But Jennifer Lopez Disagrees
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez aren’t immune to the unpredictable world of real estate. Their lavish Beverly Hills mansion — an ultra-private, custom-built estate they snapped up in 2023 — has quietly hit a snag on the market. Despite its sprawling 38,000 square feet, resort-style amenities, and star-studded zip code, the mega-mansion has reportedly struggled to attract a buyer. Now, Affleck reportedly wants to lower the price. Will Lopez budge?
Ben Affleck reportedly wants to lower the price on his and Jennifer Lopez’s Beverly Hills mansion
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are officially divorced, but they remain tied together by their mansion in Beverly Hills. The couple bought the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom home that sits on five acres for $60.8 million in 2023. A year later, they listed the mansion for $68 million. Affleck and Lopez found one potentially serious buyer, but they backed out at the last moment. As of mid-2025, the mansion remains on the market.
Both Affleck and Lopez have moved forward, both buying other properties in the wake of their divorce. As for their mansion, TMZ reports Affleck hopes to lower the price. However, Lopez doesn’t want to lose even more money by decreasing the asking price. The mansion remains on the market for $68 million and hasn’t garnered any serious interest all year.
Unfortunately for Lopez, Affleck is probably right. Multiple realtors have verified that the couple’s asking price is too high for the home. Additionally, rising insurance costs will likely factor into who buys the place. It would take an estimated $500,000 a year to insure the mansion due to the Los Angeles wildfires.
A real estate guru says the mansion is only worth between $40-50 million
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez might have to bite the bullet and sell their Beverly Hills mansion for much less than their asking price if they ever want to get it off their hands. A West Coast real estate guru told NewsNation that the home is worth much less than $68 million.
“That house is actually worth between $40 and $50 million,” the real estate expert explained. “It’s in a terrible location. Wallingford Estates is a gated community with no guard. Most homes in the area are from the 1970s and are worth between $5-10 million. This is just a huge white elephant. It’s garish, too big, and dated with amenities that are just silly and not necessary (like an indoor sports complex).”
The expert also explained how “the house is ugly” and was designed by a “mediocre developer with bad taste in architecture.”
“When it was built, it sat on the market for years and was listed at $100 million, so maybe (Affleck and Lopez) thought they got a deal for buying it at $61 million,” they continued. “But remember, they also put millions into renovating it to their tastes.”
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez will split the profits when the house eventually sells
According to In Touch Weekly, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez plan to split the profits of the mansion when it eventually sells. The exes outlined this agreement in their divorce settlement.
Unfortunately, it seems Affleck and Lopez didn’t expect the setback of not being able to sell the house.
“Part of the reason that Ben agreed to play nice and go to these joint mediations was to try and get things settled as soon as possible,” a source told In Touch Weekly in October 2024. “But they weren’t counting on these setbacks, particularly with the sale of their house.”
Hopefully, the exes can agree to lower the price and get the house off their hands once and for all.
