Rosie O’Donnell is having some trouble selling her $6 million Saddle River mansion.
The New Jersey property has been on the market for the past five years — and still can’t find a buyer, The Post can report.
O’Donnell, 58, who is currently filming the new season of Showtime’s "The L Word," first bought the home in 2013 for $6.3 million.
According to New Jersey property records, she decided to list the home two years later, in July 2015 for nearly $7 million. But with no offers, the former co-host of "The View" relisted the home at what would be an estimated $400,000 loss — that is, if she can sell it.

She’s also been spending her time during the COVID-19 pandemic stressing about leaving the house, modeling wacky quarantine hairdos for her 400,000 Instagram followers — and bingeing on Pop-Tarts.
"We had a lot of junk in the beginning when it was first happening and I was panicking," she recently told Page Six. "I told the person who works here get us some Pop-Tarts so he got us about 40 boxes … and it started to get really sad when I realized there were only about half the boxes left and I’m the only one in the house who eats them."

$63,495.68 and that’s my best offer.
Why should we care?
Is this really worth the FR bandwidth?
I believe Nixon lived just north in Park Ridge.

Thanks for the insight—realtors who are friends have always said the sellers can be very difficult to deal with at times.
It sounds like the “odor” issue is a good example of that.
Imho one of the best services a realtor can provide a seller is an objective discussion of “issues” and how they can be addressed or at least mitigated.
You are right the politics are butt ugly. We would like to leave but we like it where we are and until it becomes un affordable we will stay.
Shhhh!
You will ruin all the top 10 lists out there: Safest, best to raise a family, nicest people, growing fastest, leading "move to states", etc, etc.
You make a very good point there!
Look out below!
No one wants to buy a place with chewed up carpet.
Yeesh... my first thought as well. You would *think* a person who can spend millions on a house would have a bit more design sense / taste.
I'm merely a renovator, but I LOL'd!
My thought, as well. Her ego wrote a check her ass couldn't pay for.
"The median home value in Saddle River NJ was $1,697,951, compared to $367,103 for the state of NJ, and $263,351 for the US overall, as of December 2020."
A friend who worked in a crafts store said they dreaded when an Indian person would return a length of fabric, because it could not be resold even at a discount due to the cooking odors. But the manager would make them take it back and give the refund. She opined that some of them bought a long bolt of colorful cloth, used it as a tablecloth, and then returned it.
We have a rental house next to our home. Indians awhile ago, now some muslims. Both were/are nice enough. But at dinner time the SMELL!! I’ve gotten to the point where I make sure I’m done with my outside work by then.
I was telling my wife - “So you figure when he comes home from work the husband steps out of his car and thinks ‘Yum, she’s making my favorite tonight!” (I’m guessing he does.)
I wonder if the smell of BBQ ribs smells gross to them. Probably.
And Fish.
I can see that happening! Honestly, in my experience, Indian people were good to work with, honest but crafty in negotiating. So I didn’t want to denigrate them. Actually, it would have only taken one complaint to the Board of Realtors, claiming discrimination if a Realtor would have mentioned the cooking odors, they would have lost their license. But yet, it diminished the value of homes and we couldn’t discuss it with them..
Seems like a hodge-podge of different styles fighting against each other.
Not unlike Rosie?
