Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez might be looking into alternative ways to deal with the massive property they bought together … ’cause they’ve pulled it off the market.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Lopez is still living in the house while remodeling the home she just purchased — but, we’re also told from multiple real estate sources that the house has become a “white elephant” and is tough to sell.

Essentially, they want to take it off the market to relist it later and make it look like a fresh listing.
So they may look to sell it again in the future … but, Average Joe can’t just hop on his computer and consider buying it anymore.
Of course, the Average Joe can’t afford the place anyway … even after Ben & J Lo dropped the price by more than $8 million in early May.

Remember, the duo was still trying to sell the house for $68 million, but brought the price down by $8.1 million to just a touch below $60 mil.
It doesn’t seem like the price difference did enough for the newly divorced couple to offload the place … a move J Lo needed to come around to before the actual decision was made.

We were told Ben was extremely motivated to sell the house even before the price drop … and, Jennifer eventually agreed enough to bring it down. Our sources told us rising insurance costs were also a major reason why this place was still on the market.
Bennifer bought their home back in May 2023 — less than a year into their marriage — for $60,850,000. They listed the house for sale publicly in mid-July 2024, and J Lo filed for divorce in August 2024.
Realtor.com first reported the listing was taken off the market.
We’ve reached out to Ben & J Lo about the unlisting … so far, no word back.
