Actor Jim Carrey has been trying to sell his Brentwood, California, mansion for over a year, and his strategy to find a new owner appears to focus on lowering the price further and further.
In June of this year the property was listed for $21.9 million, but now it has been reported that Carrey and his team have decided to lower the price to $19.75 million. Although there are no official statements, those involved must be very sure that the impediment to the sale is its price.
It should be noted that the property first entered the real estate market in February of last year for $28.9 million and shortly after decided to lower the price to $26.5 million. This means that the property has been reduced by almost $10 million over more than a year.
A real estate agent consulted by the New York Post believes that Carrey and his team have had a difficult time selling the property because millionaires do not want to invest in Los Angeles due to the new tax on mansions that was approved in 2022.
The source told the New York Post: “The market has tanked since that tax went into effect. These multi-million dollar homes are just sitting there and sellers are rushing to cut their losses.”
Since the house was first put up for sale, it has attracted everyone’s attention, as it is a property that has belonged to Carrey for 30 years. The actor originally paid $3.8 million for the property, although inflation and the extra money he invested in the residence in recent years must be taken into account.
This property sits on a 2-acre lot and was built in the 1950s, meaning Carrey has had to invest a lot of money into its upkeep.
It includes a 12,704 square foot main house with five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, foyer, living room, great room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and other amenities.
Outside there are extensive green areas with a terrace, swimming pool, spa area, barbecue area, tennis court and other spaces to share outdoors.
