The vintage Tudor-style home in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles formerly owned by Nicolas Cage is back on the market. Earlier this month the home went up for auction and, with no bidders, went back to the bank. Cage had bought the home in 1998 from Tom Jones for $6.469 million and it was also owned by Dean Martin. At the time of the auction total debt owed on the house was said to be $18 million and in the past Cage had tried to sell it for as much as $35 million. Now the home is listed with Westside Estate Agency for just $12.75 million. Fresh listing pictures reveal that the home has had a crazyectomy. All of Cage's inveterate wackiness has been stripped from the home. Walls and floors are bare and even some of the light fixtures appear to be missing. Wihout Cage's belongings inside the home may finally find its buyer.

I must admit, I really adored this house when it was filled with all of Cage's unusual belongings and art. It wasn't exactly to my taste, but I loved the way the decor gave it a personality that spoke to one specific individual's often bizarre tastes. I've seen too many bland designer homes on this site and elsewhere - this one just seemed to be one person's own dream home.

I understand that Cage has had to sell several of his properties, and I have seen a few of the art pieces from this home on some fine arts auction sites. Good luck to you, Mr. Cage, and I hope that wherever you land, you can once again deck your home in everything that makes you happy.

Tropical paradise!!! Cage should have sold it when it was the right time. Most people missed that "right time" and now are being foreclosed on.

South Florida was one of the hardest hit market but we're recovering and, in fact, better than expected. We still got a long way to go but the market is bottoming out. Take a look at this home for example, owned by former tennis player Steffi Graf. It's been in the market for more than 2 years and it still is! It's got 4 bed 5 baths with spectacular bayfront view. Price? Reduced to $2.75M.
