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."

Maybe she could rent it out to DHS for storage of migrant kids until they are sold to companies or pimps.
“I will bet the taxes are at least 50K per month.”
This is very likely! New Jersey is a corrupt cesspool. All that property tax goes to a corrupt union for the public school that anyone purchasing this house would not send their own children to.
Not only that, the income tax for high earners is one of the highest in the country.
Moreover, no one needs to live near New York anymore. They can live anywhere and telecommute. Governor Murphy will learn that high income people will be voting with their feet and moving to lower tax areas since they don’t have to commute to “the city” anymore.
New jersey has nice beaches but the government pensions and other rackets will sink the state.
Saddle River happens to be a very nice area. I believe a guy by the name of Nixon once lived there.

Particularly, with the old fat and increasingly ugly ones as they age.
Which most will become, as they age and become very ugly and bitter old people.
I have to defend what you call a butt ugly state. Come to where I live and tell me it is butt ugly. It is not only not butt ugly but it is very conservative.
The first thing to do is take those rock pillars down. What an ugly house.
Maybe it really is a $4 million dollar house that she paid $6 million for.
Butt ugly house for butt ugly owner.
One would think that you could spend some bucks to rid any house of even the worst odors—worst case you might have to replace carpet and subflooring in any really bad rooms and sand and then repaint walls and/or ceilings.
She is also so arrogant she had all the fans removed.
You can’t get the stank of a rotten filthy pig out of a house no matter what you do. Only fire can take care of that.
There are probably some PRETTY house on sale for a lot less.
Plus, people were leaving New Jersey like it was on fire.
First, the homeowners must recognize their homes have odor issues. Number one worst odor, cat urine, next is use of curry for cooking, third is dirty diapers. I was asked to give a market evaluation on a potentially lovely listing, beautiful landscape with rolling hillside location, great curb appeal, it would sell immediately for a premium sales price. I walked into the interior and was just about knocked down by the odor, never experienced anything so terrible. I attempted to discuss this with them and they were deeply offended, insisting I was making it up to devalue the property. Obviously, I did not get the listing but they did list it with a person who let it sit for eighteen months. When I got home, my husband wanted to know what horrible smell was on my clothes and my two dachshunds hair went up on their backs and they ran from me. LOL. Also, if every realtor was honest, they were terrified to list homes owned by people from India, their cooking was horrific and a dead end for selling, which could not be discussed because of civil rights.
The house is not very attractive either.
That’s the main problem for sure. Less Beans can be fumigated, but the property can’t be moved out of a $#*+hole state.
Begging your pardon - I misspoke myself - I meant the politics of New Jersey are butt ugly!
I know some nice people FRom NJ - my wife left NJ in 1953 - and I know some neat NJ FReepers, too.
I recognize that New Jersey is called the Garden State, and, once you get away FRom the big cities, is is a pretty state.
HST, though, I would not recommend that someone move there, and would recommend that those who are there, LEAVE!
Should political sanity return in the future, I might change my mind.
I don’t think so - thus the “ .”
Yeah, Lynard Skynard. Almost all of that band died in a plane crash, like Buddy Holly and The Big Gipper.
Entirely different subject than getting the smell of ratfish out of the walls.
In the 1980s, I designed a passive solar home that my father built in Albuquerque. Dad took my design to an architect to polish up and produce the construction drawings and specs needed for permits, bidding and constructing .
The architect maintained 90%+ of my design and it was a roaring success not withstanding a couple of weird layout tweaks dad required. Energy wise, it was in the 3500-4000ft2 range and in winter maxed out at about $70/mo in energy cost all in for electric and propane.
Back to the architect though.... He did a subtle thing that was not measurable to the eye but created relaxing ambiance to the home. Most rooms did not have a 90deg right angle to one or more corners. They were intentionally a couple of degrees off 90. I have no clue why but it did something and worked as intended. An architect can make or break a design. Ideally, you want a Da Vinci and not a Warhol. YMMV on that though! LOL.
