Jon & Kate Minus Home


Jon Gosselin outside Pennsylvania homeReality-show stars Jon and Kate Gosselin have sold the Pennsylvania home that once housed both their 10-member family and their out-sized marital tension.

The now-divorced couple listed their Cape Cod style home on Andrew Avenue in Elizabethtown for $385,000 in March 2009. The 3,446 square foot home features five bedrooms and two and one-half bathrooms, and sold for $258,000, according to The Wall Street Journal.

That's a selling price of $22,000 less than what they purchased it for in 2006.
This was the Gosselin family home prior to making a name for themselves as the parents of a set of twins and sextuplets on the popular TLC reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8".

The show documented their lives, and, with growing children and TLC paychecks the couple upgraded to a $1.1 million, 6,000 square foot mansion in Wernersville, Pennsylvania in 2008. The newer home, where Kate and kids now reside, sits on a 24 acre, fenced property with a large, metal gate, according to People magazine.

The bitter Gosselin divorce may have terminated the marriage, but not the television show. The New York Post reports the family is under contract for another series.

Jon Gosselin made news again a few months ago when he moved into a Manhattan apartment with his girlfriend.

The Gosselins are not the only entertainment figures to sell at a loss. Ashley Olson and Scarlett Johansson are listing their Los Angeles homes at a loss, too.
