Nobody wants to buy notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s real estate.
The convicted criminal’s grand, 28,000-square-foot townhouse in Manhattan’s tony Upper East Side has undergone a $23 million price cut, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
The seven-story, French Neoclassic mansion was originally listed for $88 million in July. The price has since been reduced by about 26%, to a still hefty $65 million.
Epstein was found dead in prison in 2019. The money earned from the sale is to go to the disgraced financier’s alleged victims, who filed claims against his estate.
COVID-19 dealt New York City’s luxury market a blow. Many wealthy residents left the city, choosing to ride out the pandemic in second or third homes in the Hamptons or other vacation destinations.
The number of contracts signed were down 31% in 2020 for Manhattan properties priced at $4 million or above, according to luxury real estate brokerage Olshan Realty’s end-of-year market report. The average price drop was 12%.

Did the real estate agent have Billy Jeff look at it?
Epstein did not kill himself.
I Hunter Biden would feel right at home there.
I’d be tapping the walls looking for hidden safes, hiding places, etc.
I wonder if there’s anyone who believes he did?
Maybe they can make a package deal for the townhouse plus the Amityville Horror house.
It would be a cool place to hang out.
Who did he will it to?
When it gets to $15,000, I will think about it.
Probably has royalty and ex-president DNA all over the floors and walls.
“As a realtor I have to disclose that the owner died in prison - or something.”
Same people who believe we had a free and fair election that Basement Joe won, Bill Barr, Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio.........
Two things I know in life...
Epstein didn’t till himself.
Biden didn’t win.
Nice digs. But who the hell would want to live in NYC?
Dead children in the walls creates a funky smell buyers just do not like.
You just need to flip the mattress over, sprinkle around a little baking soda, maybe light a candle.
Better than staying in some cheap motel - you don't want to know what happens there...
That's just the property taxes every quarter
It’s too soon after Jeffery’s death. Most don’t want their name associated with anything he had his ...hands on before.
First bring a priest to say the Rosary, spread incense and exorcise any spirits still caught in limbo.
Then get someone to arrange the furniture for the Feng Shui reasons.
Then hire a group of cleaners to hold a Bleached Bottom Field Day, and scrub that home top to bottom.
Then, maybe, someone will want to move in.
Or potential buyers saw what the property taxes are going to be.
