Kim Kardashian, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star, and her rapper husband Kanye West are reportedly planning on selling the Bel Air home they so-painstakingly have been renovating for a while now.
Insider sources told E!Online that the couple is so exhausted trying to stay up-to-date with the fixtures and appliances in the house that they plan on selling it as soon as they complete the home.
"They want to sell very soon, but they might just finish the house enough to get it on the market without trying to make it their perfect home. They have no interest in becoming professional 'flippers' but rather have found the entire process exhausting," the source told the website.
Kim and Kanye purchased the residence for $11 million in June, last year. At that time, it was reported that the lovebirds would be decorating and redesigning the place together, right from scratch.
They planned on turning the residence into an Italian-style mansion. The home was being designed to include a movie theater, a state-of-the-art gym and a complete makeup and hair salon. Along with the exquisite amenities, the home was also to boast of an outdoor pool, basketball court and a bowling alley.
The couple also planned to build a whole nanny-wing dedicated to their one-year-old daughter North West. More recently, some tabloids reported that Kanye was building an in-house hospital to protect Kim and North.
As the home is under renovations, Kim, Kanye and North are currently staying at Kim's mother Kris Jenner's house. Earlier, Kim revealed that she loved living with her mom and sisters but now that the home is taking ages to finish, the couple has already started looking for another house.
Last weekend, Kim was spotted home-hunting in New York City.
"They are selling Kanye's apartment and looking to buy a new home here," a source told Us Weekly. "Kanye's apartment on Mercer St. is only two bedrooms and now with the baby and the plan to have another soon, they need a bigger place."
In fact, Kim's mom Kris and sister Kendall were also on the prowl for a house. The Daily Mail is reporting that they were checking out a $21 million penthouse in the puck Building in the SoHo neighborhood of the Big Apple.
The real estate saga of Kim and Kanye in a nutshell:
- Kim and Kanye buy a 14,000-square-foot mansion in a gated community in Bel Air.
- They plan to expand their real estate portfolio together by buying homes in New York, Miami and Paris.
- They sell off their Bel Air mansion for a $1 million profit. They again purchase a Bel Air property worth $11 million. That is under renovation now.
- Kim quietly sells off her Beverly Hills home to an unknown buyer.
- Kanye lists his bachelor pad for $3.3 million, which goes on and off the escrow. The "Yeezus" rapper has a home in Mercer Street and a home in Paris as well.
