More than a year ago, Justin Bieber turned to Instagram in search of a buyer for his multi-million dollar home in Los Angeles, California. As of Friday, the house was finally off the market, but it sold for $ 500,000 less than what Bieber originally paid for it, the Los Angeles Times and People reported.
The 6,100-square-foot property, located in the upscale Beverly Hills neighborhood, has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an office, a home theater and a wine cellar with a small bar area.
Joshua and Matt Altman, famous for “Million Dollar Listing”, and Dalton Gomez, fiancé of Ariana Grande, represented the list.
The photos published on the listing agents’ websites show modern and elegant decor, floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, oak cabinets, an infinity pool and lots of greenery throughout the property. The list is currently marked as a “signed contract” on the realtors’ website.
When he officially hit the market in October 2020, a year after Bieber first announced on Instagram, the original asking price of the house was around $ 8.9 million, which would put the reported final sale price at approximately $ 1 million below that.
Steven Schaefer, who represented the buyer along with his partner Jay Luchs, told People that Bieber’s property “had no influence on the buyer’s decision”.
“But it doesn’t cost to resell,” he added.
The final sale price has not been confirmed by Insider. Altman, Gomez and Bieber representatives did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment on the sale.
Bieber bought the house in early 2019 and tried to sell it on Instagram just six months later
According to Architectural Digest, Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, bought the house in March 2019 for $ 8.5 million. The young couple lived on a $ 100,000 monthly rent on Toluca Lake up to that point.
The house, called “The Tropics”, was built in the 1930s and renovated by production designer Charles Infante shortly before Bieber bought it, HGTV reported.
Just about six months after buying high-profile, Bieber tried to woo buyers interested in a series of Instagram posts.
“Homemade vibrations, but I want to sell, I think someone is interested?” he captioned one of the posts where the neon sign “The Tropics” and the cellar are visible next to Bieber’s legs.
“I will sell with all the furniture. MAKE AN OFFER,” he wrote in another post.
Schaefer confirmed to People that the furniture was part of the final deal, as promised on Instagram.
Bieber still has other multimillion dollar homes
In August, Jack Flemming reported to the Los Angeles Times that Bieber had purchased an even larger 11,000 square foot, two-story home for $ 25.8 million elsewhere in Beverly Hills.
The large house has a tennis court, swimming pool, seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, gym and cinema room.
Two years before that, in August 2018, Bieber bought a 101-acre lakefront home in Canada for $ 5 million. He still seems to have both properties.
Bieber also owned a Calabasas mansion that he sold to Khloe Kardashian in 2014 for $ 7.2 million. Kardashian sold the property in 2020 for a record $ 15.5 million – more than double what she paid for it.
