I think someone bought it for the land value. The house looks dated, something out of the 1960s. They’ll do a tear down and build something more updated.
People bought Ozzie and Harriet Nelson’s home in Laguna Beach after she died and promptly tore it down.
Her Brentwood home is on the market for $10.575 mil and being marketed as a scrape. It’s on 3/4 of an acre. Prospective buyers won’t even be able to go inside the house or view photos. https://www.latimes.com/business/real-estate/story/2022-04-26/betty-whites-brentwood-home-lists-for-10-575-million
