Jim Carrey Finds Buyer Again for Brentwood Mansion After Price Cuts

Jim Carrey Sells Los Angeles Mansion After Initial Deal Falls Through

Jim Carrey has reportedly found a buyer for his longtime Brentwood mansion in Los Angeles. This development follows a series of price reductions and a previously failed deal, marking a significant chapter in the property's sales journey.

A Look Back: Carrey's 30-Year Sanctuary

Carrey purchased the sprawling estate back in 1994 for $3.8 million. For nearly three decades, the property served as his sanctuary. "For three decades, it's been a sanctuary for me, but I don't spend a lot of time there now, and I want someone else to enjoy it like I have," Carrey stated when he initially listed the property.

The Sales Journey: From $28.9 Million to a New Deal

The journey to find a buyer began in February 2023, when Carrey first listed the mansion for $28.9 million. However, the luxury real estate market presented challenges, leading to multiple price adjustments throughout 2023 and 2024. The price was first reduced to $26.5 million, then further to $23.95 million, followed by $21.9 million, and eventually settling at $19.75 million.

First "Under Contract" Status and Subsequent Relisting

In December 2024, the property went "under contract" with a buyer at the $19.75 million price point. This was widely reported as a successful sale, signaling the end of the search. However, in early 2025 (approximately February), the deal reportedly fell through, and the property was relisted on the market.

Further Price Reduction and Renewed Interest

Following the failed deal, the price was further reduced to $18.75 million (or $18.8 million, depending on the source) in May 2025. This revised price point attracted renewed interest, and Sotheby's International Realty agents Janelle Friedman and Graham J. Larson continued their efforts to find the right buyer.

Recent Reports: Buyer Secured Again

Recent reports, prior to the most recent news cycle, indicate that a buyer has been secured for the property once more. The exact date the property went "under contract" again has not been specified.

Property Details: A Luxurious Estate

The estate is a 10,954-square-foot (or 12,000-square-foot, according to some sources) ranch-style home situated on approximately two acres. It boasts five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a tennis court, a waterfall pool, a guesthouse, an Art Deco theater, a yoga space, a wine cellar, and six fireplaces.

Market Context: Challenges in the Luxury Sector

The challenges in selling the property reflect broader trends in the Los Angeles luxury real estate market. Factors such as the Measure ULA mansion tax and high interest rates have contributed to difficulties in selling high-value properties. The repeated price reductions on Carrey's mansion underscore these market realities, demonstrating that even celebrity-owned properties are not immune to economic pressures.

External Factors: Wildfire Concerns

In January 2025, the proximity of wildfires in the Pacific Palisades to the Brentwood mansion added another layer of complexity to the sales process. Concerns arose about property insurance and buyer confidence, potentially affecting the pending sale.

Financial Speculation and Carrey's Career

Some reports linked the sale to Carrey's alleged "money struggles" and his return to acting in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, despite previous hints at retirement. However, the substantial profit from the sale, given the initial purchase price of $3.8 million, would suggest otherwise.
