Britney Spears Price-Chops Her Malibu Home

It appears Britney Spears may be getting a little desperate to unload her Malibu mansion; Brit put the house up for sale in January for $13.5 million, but didn’t get any takers. On March 28th, the price dropped to $11.9 in an effort to attract buyers. Experts claimed the house may have just been priced too steeply for the current real estate market.

Spears bought the 9,000-sq.-ft home in October 2004, shortly after marrying Kevin Federline. The property, for which the singer reportedly paid $6.9 million, also includes a garden, pool with spa, tennis court and gym.

But the house, which is in the exclusive gated Serra Retreat area where such stars as Mel Gibson live, may have priced itself out of the market for the moment, according to Kurt Rappaport, president of Westside Real Estate Agency.

“The pricing was aggressive,” Rappaport said. “It’s an expensive piece of property and sophisticated buyers are looking for the best price.”

In fact, says Rappaport, Spears’s celebrity could hurt her ability to sell the property. “Wealthy people don’t want tour buses stopping at their front door,” Rappaport said.

Considering who the owner is, the house probably reeks of baby vomit and unwashed hair, so that might be part of the problem as well.
