J Lo & Ben Affleck
Crickets on $68M Mansion Sale
… After Divorce News
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s $68 million Beverly Hills pad is still high and dry … sitting unsold after more than a month on the market.
We spoke to multiple L.A. real estate sources who tell us there’s been no movement on the mansion — so seems like even the drama of the pair’s recent divorce news isn’t enough to nudge things along.
We’re told the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom palace has had plenty of showings since it was listed publicly in July … but no serious offers or deals are in place.
One agent believes the house might be on the market for a while because it’s tough to flip a place so soon after buying it at a much higher price — just like what’s happening with Jen and Ben’s place.
They snagged the house for just over $60 million last year, and put a ton of money into renovations … but even with all those upgrades, we’re told it’s a tough sell to explain why it’s worth $8 million more … less than a year later.
Plus, the pool of potential buyers who can afford a $60-million-plus mansion is probably pretty small.

Meanwhile, another agent added it’ll take a while for any big deals to happen, thanks to the tough market with high interest rates.
TMZ broke the news … J Lo headed straight to L.A. County Superior Court to file for divorce, and our sources told us there was no prenup in sight.
Ben’s since bought a new $20.5 million Brentwood mansion … firmly closing the door on the divorced couple’s empty house.
