'Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is. But the real estate market is not there and it’s not selling,' an insider told Us Weekly. Meanwhile Affleck is prepared to sell, no matter the final offer.
'Ben wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,' the insider stated. He just wants it over and to sell it. He wants to reduce the price.
' Some realtors also informed TMZ that the $68M asking price is too high and needs to be dropped by at least 15% if the pair want to offload their marital home. An agent told the publication that the two stars had overpaid for the estate - which consists of 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
