Josh Duhamel Sells L.A. Home for $3.4 Million

Actor Josh Duhamel sold his Los Angeles home for $3.4 million, a figure that surpassed his initial asking price by more than $400,000. The property was listed on June 25 for $2.99 million and quickly moved to pending status, with the sale officially closing shortly thereafter. Duhamel, 53, purchased the residence in 2017 for $2.7 million, indicating a significant profit from this transaction. This sale aligns with Duhamel's stated desire to spend more time away from California, particularly in North Dakota, where he shares a home with his wife Audra Mari, and at his off-grid cabin in Minnesota. His role in the Netflix show "Ransom Canyon," where he plays a ranch owner, has reportedly drawn inspiration from his upbringing and his affinity for a rustic lifestyle. The sale of his California property, handled by Thomas Atamian of Coldwell Banker Realty, marks a concrete step towards fulfilling his preference for spending time in his other residences. Duhamel has been actively promoting the second season of "Ransom Canyon" during this period. The actor's connection to North Dakota is further emphasized by his family life there, while his Minnesota cabin represents a retreat into a more secluded environment. This move signifies a shift in his real estate priorities, moving away from his Los Angeles base.
