Jim Carrey has finally edged closer to selling his Los Angeles mansion after nearly two years of struggling to find a buyer — and a roughly $10 million price cut.
The sprawling Brentwood estate, originally listed for $28.9 million in February 2023, is now under contract, last asking $19.75 million, according to Mansion Global.
The pending sale for the home, which Carrey purchased for $3.8 million in 1994, means that neither the final sale price nor the identity of the forthcoming owner are currently available.

The deal would seem to be a relief for Carrey, 62, who has been open about financial difficulties that led him to rethink his plans to retire from acting.
“I bought a lot of stuff, and I need the money, frankly,” Carrey admitted earlier this year at the UK premiere of “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” in which he reprises his role as the villain Dr. Robotnik.
A rep for Carrey declined The Post’s request for comment on the pending sale.
Known for 1990s blockbuster comedies like “The Mask” and “Dumb and Dumber,” Carrey had previously declared he was stepping away from Hollywood.

In 2022, he insisted he was “fairly serious” about retiring and said only a script that was brought to him by “the angels” and “written in gold ink” could tempt him back.
But financial realities changed his plans.
“You can’t be definite about these things,” he told Comicbook.com earlier this year. “I said I’d like to retire, but I think I was talking more about ‘power-resting.’ Because as soon as a good idea comes your way or a group of people that you really enjoyed working with and stuff, it just — things tend to change.”
The sprawling estate, set in one of Los Angeles’ most coveted neighborhoods, reflects the height of Carrey’s career when he was commanding $20 million per film.

The property is a luxury lover’s dream, boasting a tennis court, a waterfall pool, a yoga space, a wine cellar and even an art gallery. Inside, it features six fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen, and an Art Deco theater complete with mohair fabric walls and a popcorn concession room.
Made up of five bedrooms and nine baths, the home occupies nearly 11,000 square feet.
Carrey’s decision to part with the home comes after years of declining interest from buyers.
He slashed the price several times — first to $26.5 million, then to $23.95 million and later to $21.9 million in May 2024 — before finally listing it for $19.75 million in September, a move that appears to have done the trick.

The residence holds deep sentimental value for Carrey, as it was purchased the same year he skyrocketed to superstardom with films like “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.”
It became a retreat for the actor, who frequently updated the property during his three decades of ownership.
Reflecting on his return to acting amid financial struggles, Carrey joked at the “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” premiere, “I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius. Which is a bit of a stretch.”
