Celebrity Real Estate: Purchase the Selena Gomez Home in Encino

[Update December 31, 2012]: This home sold for $3.5 million on December 21, 2012 which was $199,000 less than the original list price first listed on September 23, 2012. 

[Original Post]:

It appears that the rumors about Disney star Selena Gomez purchasing the former Jonah Hill home in Tarzana and/or even purchasing land with Justin Bieber in Tarzana might be true as her former home in Encino just hit the market for the marketable friendly asking price of $3,699,000. Additionally, a moving truck was spotted at the Encino home sometime in the beginning of August possibly moving her belongings to the new home. 

According to the listing, the 5 Bed/6.25 Bath on 5,291 sqft on a total lot size of 1.64 acres built in 1947 states:

First time on the market for sale in 19 years. This Connecticut Style gated compound will take your breath away. Situated on 1. 69 acres of enchanting grounds there are 3 separate structures, tennis court, pool, numerous gardens, grassy play areas all amidst magnificent mature Oak Trees. A Wisteria trellised path leads you to the main residence which offers 5 bedrns, 7 bathrms, gym, formal dining room, den and spectacular family/media room. Ideal for families, the master suite and 3 children bedrms are situated together. All of the rooms look out onto beautiful vistas of trees, romantic gardens or inviting patios. The formal dining room is filled with spectacular light from the walls of windows and French doors opening to wonderful patio deck. Fabulous media/family room with its own kitchen and entry to the pool area. On the opposite side of the property there is a 2 bedrms, 2 ba gst house (approx 1100 sf). This charming structure offers hardwood floors, full kitchen, laundry room and wood burning fireplace. Next to the guest house is the converted ?barn? quite literally this barn is part of the original ?Lazy Creek Ranch?. Structure has been used for offices, studio or playroom. There are 2 gated entrances to this unique compound.

I dont believe this home was ever purchased by Selena Gomez or her family as the property records dont reveal any connection to Selena Gomez unless I am mistaken. Additionally, this home was last purchased 19 years ago for $1,650,000 on March 31, 1993 which was about one year after Selena was born on July 22, 1992 in Grand Prairie, Texas. So it appears that she was most likely renting this whole time which I am not sure when the started either and for how much. Its been rumored that Selena lived in the guest home on this property but I cannot confirm. 

This listing also mentions that this home is part of the Lazy Creek Ranch which I have no idea of the historical significance but I am guessing was part of a much larger ranch that started sometime in the late 40's when land was widely available and used for agricultural purposes but was eventually subdivided to what remains today.

Celebrity Real Estate: Jonah Hill Flips Tarzana Home to Disney Star Selena Gomez

The rumor mill was filled with reports yesterday that actor Jonah Hill flipped his Tarzana home to Selena Gomez. This information was revealed by the always hilarious Your Mama at the Realestalker via the Zillow Blog, X17online, and Entertainmentwise.com. While this is just rumor as the property records do not reflect any such transaction occurring, we will update you when the opportunity arises. 

According to the sources above, Gomez purchased the home for $2.9 million. Jonah Hill purchased this home for $2.175 million on July 14, 2011 which was discussed on this blog (which has more details on the property) giving Mr. Hill a cool profit of $725,000 which is quite amazing given that Mr. Hill has only had the home for barely one year. Maybe the real estate zany days are back. Its possible that Mr. Hill also made significant improvements to the home justifying the higher price but the only available online listing photos are from when Mr. Hill purchased the property back in July 2011 so there is no evidence if the home has indeed been upgraded. 

Ms. Gomez was previously living in her parent's home in Encino in a separate condo on the property (see image below). She has been spotted in and out of Encino with her boyfriend Justin Bieber who also just purchased a property in Calabasas (which was the former home of Nicole Murphy discussed on this blog). 

Nearby celebrity Tarzana neighbors and architecturally significant properties include:

• Gregory Ain Designed Kaye Residence which was available and currently delisted.
• Bruce Boxleitner and Melissa Gilbert have been trying to sell since 2011.
• Scary Spice of the Spice Girls recently sold a home for $3 million. 
• Anton Yelchin's parents and former home.
