Kanye West is one of the most affluent rappers in todays music industry. Kanye has seen lots of success in his music career and has worked with many great artists such as Jay-Z, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, and more. But is Kanye having trouble selling his Los Angeles house?
Kanye began dating Kim Kardashian and the couple just had their first child, North West. With the birth of North West, Kim and Kanye felt they needed a to find a new home. The couple found a new home but is currently in the process of being renovated.
Buying a new home usually means you must also the old one. This is not an exception for these celebrities. Kim Kardashian purchased her old Beverly Hills home in 2010 for around $4.8 million and managed to sell it for around $5 million.
Now it doesn’t seem like it would be hard for a celebrity to sell a home due to their popularity, but that is not the case for Kanye. Kanye originally listed his home for $3.3 million last March. In hopes to make his home more appealing, Kanye lowered his price by $150,000 three months later. Kanye has lowered the price of his home once again to $2.8 million. That is a $500,000 decrease from his original price!
Kanye decided to list his home after the purchase of the couples new home. The future home of Kanye and Kim was purchased for $9 million and is located in Bel Air, Los Angeles, California. This is more than the cost of both their old homes combined which makes it easy to see why Kanye would want to sell his old home.
Who will buy Kanye’s old home? It could be yours! Whoever it is sure gets some bragging rights. Maybe the home was originally overpriced just because Kanye West is a celebrity? Who knows but I’m sure some lucky individual obtain this great home.
