This week's top real estate headlines

"Jessica Jones" actress Krysten Ritter has had a long and storied career in the entertainment industry that goes far beyond her days of playing a semi-retired superhero detective. Her success has afforded her the ability to buy a trendy, $3.1 million modern farmhouse-style home in the increasingly expensive L.A. enclave of Studio City. Meanwhile over in Beverly Hills, rumor has it that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are looking to off-load their latest house flip: a stately English Tudor manor house once owned by Adam Levine. They're allegedly willing to show the property to pre-qualified buyers unbothered by a sky-high asking price of $58 million.

In other news, Ariana Grande is on the prowl to buy a house, Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel took a $5 million loss on his spare Brentwood home, composer Johnny Mandel listed his longtime Point Dume estate, cannabis queen Carissa Davino flipped a Hollywood Hills manse, Manchester United soccer star Paul Pogba is moving to Miami, Bob Yari listed his Beverly Grove contemporary, "Entourage" star Jeremy Piven sold his NYC penthouse, Vera Guerin's Beverly Hills spec house sold at a 36% discount, and Matt and Haley Kalil flipped a Pasadena home for a tidy profit.
