Celebrity Real Estate: The Simpson's List Encino Mansion
[Update April 11, 2013]: This home sold on April 5, 2013 for $3.5 million which was a whopping $895,000 less than the original list price of $4,395,000 back on October 2, 2012. However, the Simpsons still profited $1.4 million from their original purchase price of $2.1 million back on June 15, 2001 not including expenses. I wonder if either of the Simpson parents are going to shack up in Jessica Simpson's newly acquired estate in Hidden Hills from the Osbournes.

The Simpsons purchased this property on June 15, 2001 for $2.1 million and are looking to make more than double their money in a little over 10 years worth of time not factoring in additional expenses like taxes, commissions, renovations, etc. Its not known exactly why the Simpson's are moving but their are rumors floating around the internet that the Simpson's are getting divorced which makes this home sale a natural step in the process.
