Jeana Keough Re-Lists At A Deep Discount

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

We've been following the real estate travails of Jeana Keough, former star of the Real Housewives of Orange County and real estate agent, for a while now. Just last summer her seven-bedroom home in the Coto de Caza, California community was listed at $5.5 million. Flash forward to now and the Real Estalker leads us to a fresh listing for the home and a new low price of $3.9 million. But it gets worse, apparently a second Notice of Default was filed on the property in mid-December of 2009 setting an auction date of March 5. The OC Register reported that $1,519,824.50 is owed on the home.
The listing's rather fuzzy photos show the French Country estate with a guest house, basketball court and a large pool and spa with covered patios and a firepit. Inside the home has high ceilings, lots of draperies and plenty of beige. There is a two-person office with a view of the hillside, large family room with built in wet bar, game room, library and a media room formed by a pull-down screen, a couple of leather chairs with cupholders and some large speakers.

UPDATE: The home has been saved from foreclosure by a loan modification. She told the Orange County Register that the home will be taken off the market.

Yes, there's even more "Real Housewives" real estate drama afoot. TMZ has documents showing that Lynne Curtin from "Real Housewives of Orange County" has received a three-day eviction notice asking her to vacate her rented Laguna Beach home. If she and her husband don't settle the $12,000 bill they will be forced to leave. Documents show that Curtin owes a $10,000 security deposit as well as a $600 late fee and $1,763 in other expenses. What's worse, the homeowner says the Curtins haven't been paying other bills and their utilities have been cut off. And even their real estate agent is getting in on the act saying the couple owes $2,500 in commission for getting them into the house in June.

Curtin, who is a recent addition to the show and also sells a line of cuff bracelets, is just the latest "housewife" to be facing a sudden change of residence. We've seen several of the Orange County housewives including Jenna Keough and Tamra Barney flirt with foreclosure and short sales. Last week, TMZ reported that Lisa Wu-Hartwell of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" lost her Atlanta-area home in a short sale situation. A couple of the New York housewives have been trying to sell their homes including Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon.

Tamra Barney In The O.C., Estate of the Day

The real estate sell off from the Real Housewives television shows continues. We are back in the O.C. for a look at the home of Tamra Barney, one of the stars of "The Real Housewives of Orange County." The Real Estalker reveals that Tamra Barney and her husband Simon recently put their Ladera Ranch, California home back on the market. They first listed the five-bedroom home last November. The Real Estalker also took a peek over at Redfin where the home is listed as a short sale. According to property records the pair paid $1,320,500 for the home in 2005. They are set for a loss as they are only asking $1,149,000 for it now.

For your money you get the standard Tuscan-style inland Orange County home, beige on the outside, dark wood and tile on the inside. The backyard is rather nice with a saltwater pool, spa with a waterfall, a built-in grill, bar, fireplace and firepit. The kitchen features a large granite-topped island with barstool plus a separate breakfast table. Dispensing with the usual flatscreen television over the fireplace, the family room has a large television built in to a wood cabinet. The living room and dining room are separated by a half wall which keeps the dining room from being too narrow. I don't watch the show so I don't know if this is how her home usually appears but it looks staged and ready for sale to me.

UPDATE: This home is no longer on the market.

Jeana Keough, the former Playboy model turned real estate agent/reality TV star is having a bit of trouble in the Orange Country, California real estate market. She stars on "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and owns four homes including three rental properties. She has told the Orange County Register that all four homes are in trouble. Last month,her lender filed a notice of default for a $1.3 million mortgage made in 2003, saying that she owes $37,538 in unpaid bills. She's also under fire from the homeowner's association in her neighborhood, Coto de Caza which says she owes $3,732.

Keough, who recently announced that she wasn't not planning to return to the show, has said she's working on loan modifications on all four homes and that's why they are going into default. She has renters in her three other units but isn't sure if she is going to sell.
