In any case, the date for an auction has been postponed to February 14. and could be pulled off again as behind the scenes negotiations to sell the property continue.
“The trustee sale has been postpone and the seller is currently in negotiation with several parties regarding potential sale,” the statement issued on behalf of Sharon Murphy says.
The possibility of a short sale is pretty high, although this is kept silent.
The asking price for the Hollywood Hills property is $4.995 million and it’s handled by Aitan Segal of Rodeo Realty’s Beverly Hills office.
The house currently has a first mortgage of $4 million and a second one of half a million the real estate records say. It has been put on the market in March 2010 shortly after Brittany died, with an asking price of $7.5 million.

The Famous Case of Ed McMahon

edmcmahon-house Late Ed McMahon, who died at the age of 86 last year, was a renowned Television actor who featured in ‘The tonight Show’ as Johnny Carson’s sidekick. He also hosted ‘Star search’. The famous actor was entangled in property and finance woes. Ed McMahon started facing foreclosure problems for his home within a short time of its purchase. In the year 1990, he purchased a home in Beverly Hills for $2.6 million and had it in the market for some years. In 2006, he saw the latest listing price for his home at $7.699 million.
