Elisha Cuthbert Dropped Her LA Home Price 3 Times and Buyers Are Still Not Interested

She tried for nearly a year. Three listings, two delists, and a price cut of over $1 million. And it finally worked.

Elisha Cuthbert has officially sold her Hollywood Hills home for $1.93 million, just days after relisting it for the third time with yet another discount.

The home that started at $3.13 million in July 2025 closed well below that. But she still walks away with a profit on a property she bought in 2005 for $1.6 million.

The Home She Held for 20 Years

Cuthbert bought the property in 2005, right around when she was coming off 24 and starring in House of Wax. It sits just above the Sunset Strip near Chateau Marmont.

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 2,109 square feet. A 1936 storybook traditional with soaring ceilings, French doors, and a wood oven in the outdoor space.

She never sold during her peak years. By 2018, she stepped back from acting to raise her two kids and started renting the home out at $12,500 a month. It stayed a hold until she decided to sell in 2025.

A Timeline Most Articles Got Wrong

Here is the full picture, laid out clearly.

July 2025: Listed at $3.13 million. No buyer.

November 2025: Pulled from the market.

March 2026: Relisted at $2.349 million. Off the market again within weeks.

June 25, 2026: Back on at $2.095 million, with a full interior redesign, neutral palette, and new listing photos. A buyer went contingent within days. The deal closed at $1.93 million.

According to listing agent Patrick Fogarty of Carolwood Estates, the property is a “storybook traditional nestled among lush tropical greenery” with peek-a-boo views of Downtown LA. The redesign clearly did its job. The previous listing sat for months. This one moved in days.

Why It Took This Long and What Finally Moved It

Celebrity names do not sell homes the way they used to. The market decides, not the headline.

This is the same story playing out across LA. Dorit Kemsley is on the verge of losing her $6.5 million Encino mansion and the timeline behind it is just as complicated. High-profile names and premium listings are not guaranteed exits anymore.

Even at the ultra-luxury end, things are slower. Billionaire Howard Marks recently listed his $70 million Mallorca villas and the backstory behind why it sat is worth reading if you follow big-ticket listings.

Why This Matters

Cuthbert’s sale is a clean example of what the Hollywood Hills market looks like right now.

According to Redfin’s 2026 data for Hollywood Hills, homes in the area are averaging 96 days on market, up from 56 days the previous year. Nearly double. The average home is also selling for roughly 2% below asking price.

Cuthbert’s final sale came in at about 8% below her last list price. That gap tells you everything about where buyer leverage sits right now in LA.

What actually moved the home was not the name. It was the redesign, the realistic price, and the timing. She relisted right as her Prime Video comeback series Every Year After launched. The cultural moment created attention. The right price converted it.

Compare that to Simone Biles, who spent five years building her custom $3 million Texas mansion from the ground up with full intention behind every room. That is what it looks like when a home is built to fit a life, not to eventually be sold out of one.

Wrapping Up

On paper this is a real estate story about price cuts, timing, and a deal that finally closed. But it is also about what happens when a home outlives the chapter it was bought for.

Cuthbert bought it at 22, at the height of everything. She sold it at 43, stepping back into a career she paused for her kids. The house sold. A new one begins.
