‘RHOC’ Star Heather Dubrow Struggles to Sell $20 Million Beverly Hills Mansion She’s Never Even Lived In
Heather Dubrow is struggling to unload her multi-million dollar Beverly Hills mansion.
In March, The Real Housewives of Orange County star listed the five-bedroom, nine-bath home for $25 million. But there were no takers. Two months later, she and her husband, Botched plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow, slashed the price on the house, which is perched on 8.3 acres in the hills above Los Angeles, to $19.995 million.
Heather Dubrow taps fellow Bravo stars to sell luxury home
Unfortunately for the Dubrows, the expensive white elephant is still on the market, despite the house’s luxury amenities and enviable location.
Heather tapped fellow Bravolebrities Josh Flagg and Josh Altman to sell the home, which was built in 1946.
The Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles stars are currently feuding, but they reluctantly agreed to work with Heather and Terry to sell the house.
“I’d like to think it’s a testament to how much they both love me,” Heather said in the July 31 episode of RHOC. “But it could be the commission check as well.”
The property features a pool and spa, tennis court, terrace with sweeping views of the city, and parking for 15 cars. Altman sold the couple the house in 2023 for $16 million.
Why Heather and Terry Dubrow decided to sell their Beverly Hills mansion
Heather and and her husband have sunk millions into updating the home, but they grew frustrated when their contractor went way over budget. With their four children getting older, they realized that by the time the house was actually ready to live in, it would no longer meet their family’s needs. Heather realized that “the universe is telling us to go elsewhere.” So, they decided to cut their losses and sell the house that they never actually lived in.
While Heather and Terry are giving up their Beverly Hills dream home, they are still living in LA, not Orange County. In 2022 they sold their Newport Beach mansion for $55 million and headed north, taking up residence in a luxury Roberto Cavalli-designed penthouse as they look forward to their future as empty nesters.
“We got this apartment as kind of our little pied-à-terre in BH to see where we’re going next,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
Selling luxury properties can be a challenge
On RHOC, Heather said she was hoping to break even on the sale of the Beverly Hills mansion, which would mean a final price of around $20 million. But it seems like they’re struggling to find a buyer willing to shell out that amount. That’s not totally surprising. A recent study (via Robb Report) found that the average multi-million dollar property spent 319 days on the market. And the quicker the house sold, the more likely the owner was to get close to their original asking price. Meanwhile, homes that took six months or more to sell got about 80 percent of their original listing price.
However, the luxury real estate market in LA remains strong, according to CNBC, with big-ticket deals driven by foreign buyers and wealthy people displaced by the January 2025 wildfires. But that disaster has also changed buyer behavior. Some insiders say that people are shying away from hillside homes like the one the Dubrows are trying to sell because of the greater fire risk.
