Beckhams Balk at Beverly Hills Housing Prices

The Beckhams thought they had found a dream home in Hollywood but balked at the $39 million price tag.

Victoria and David Beckham’s dream US home is too expensive. The couple – who are moving Stateside this summer after soccer star David signed a deal reputedly worth Â£128 million with the Los Angeles Galaxy – were convinced they had found the perfect property, until they discovered it was on the market for a staggering Â£20 million [$38.9 U.S. -ed].

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “They are careful with investments. When you think what David’s deal was to move to Los Angeles Galaxy you would think this was a drop in the ocean for them. But they don’t want to spend that much on a Hollywood house at the moment.”

The couple – who celebrated their 10th anniversary last week – believed the exclusive Beverly Hills property would have been a perfect family home. The Liongate residence boasted acres of land, tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, movie room and a separate guesthouse.

Victoria, 32, reportedly put in an offer for actress Meg Ryan’s former Bel Air house earlier this month. The sprawling Â£10 million property has seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a games room, private gym, sauna and swimming pool.

I’m sure they can make do with Ryan’s home.

Frankly, $40 million isn’t all that outrageous a sum to pay for a Hollywood estate when you’re making Beckham bucks. Still, prices are likely to continue to fall and they might not be able to turn around the property very quickly if they decide to sell anytime soon.
