That is a rocky road to Sylvester Stallone at La Quinta, but the film star tries to knock down home sales in the resort city once again. Excavation of the desert returned to the market at a price of $ 3.35 million, or $ 849,000 cheaper than the price demanded five years ago.

The Oscar-nominated actor seems destined to take a loss on property; records show he took it a decade ago for $ 4.5 million.

This stylish villa is located in Madison Club, an exclusive golf course community with a list of past and present star-studded residents including Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West, Kylie Jenner, Tom Brady, Phil Knight, and Jerry West.

Built in 2008, this two-story residence has a height of nearly 5,000 square feet, with four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Past the stucco exterior above it with clay tiles, the double entrance leads to the living room with a quiet ceiling, a curved entrance, and wooden and tile floors.

Highlights include a wine room, a two-story living room under dramatic wooden beams and a dining room that opens onto a terrace overlooking a beautiful backyard. Outside, palm trees lined the pool and spa, and a terrace with a fire pit descended into the lawn and stream.

As an actor, director and screenwriter, Stallone is best known for his role in the movie franchise “Rocky” – which earned him two Academy Award nominations – as well as the “Rambo” and “The Expendables” franchises. Recently, the 73-year-old man revoked his Rocky Balboa character for “Creed” and “Creed II.”

Don’t call it comeback

Chris Paul back in Los Angeles.

The former Clippers star, now with the Oklahoma City Thunder, has bought a newly built home in Encino for a little over $ 11.1 million.

Details about the estate, which are sold in the market, are not many, but building records reveal that the property includes a two-story main residence and a suitable guesthouse. These two farmhouse-inspired structures combine a living space of more than 12,000 square feet. There is also an attached five car garage.

The estate is located behind a gate of more than one hectare with a swimming pool and cabana. There is also a sports field for H-O-R-S-E game. The view from the property is visible in the mountains and valleys.

Paul, 35, has been largely in sales mode since he was traded last year to Thunder in a deal that sent Russell Westbrook to the Rockets. Among the point guard real estate measures was the sale of 18,700 square meters of homes in Woodlands, Texas last year.

Last month, he bought back his contemporary home in the Bayou Woods neighborhood in Houston for $ 7.5 million, a reduction of $ 400,000 from the price previously asked.

All-Star 10 times, Paul began his career with the Charlotte Hornets and came to the Clippers in 2011 after the proposed trade sent him to the Lakers vetoed by then Commissioner David Stern. He was traded by the Clippers to the Rockets in 2017 for a package that included guards Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams and the Montrezl Harrell center.

The scene changes for Hollywood couples

The pandemic real estate market is not a problem for actresses Elizabeth Banks and her husband, producer Max Handelman. The couple sold their Studio City complex for $ 2.255 million about two months after registering.

Gates and landscaping privatize the main house, which opens up a bright living room with white walls and hardwood floors. An illustrated window and anchor brick fireplace in the living room, while the updated chef’s kitchen adds tile backsplash and a smooth gray cabinet.

Outside, the backyard has a dining terrace, swimming pool, and grassy lawn. Several lounges surround the landscape space.

Banks, 46, starred in “Wet Hot American Summer,” “Seabiscuit” and “Man on a Ledge” before gaining important roles in the “Hunger Games” and “Pitch Perfect” franchises. Most recently, he directed “Charlie’s Angels” in 2019 and starred in the Upstream miniseries “Mrs. America.”

Handleman, 47, co-founded Brownstone Productions with Banks. Among the film credits are the film “Pitch Perfect” and the 2019 reboot “Charlie’s Angels.”
