Recently, it was discovered that Sister Wives stars, Robyn and Kody Brown are selling their large home. But what is the reason behind this big change of mind to let the mansion go?
Robyn And Kody Brown Are Moving On
Although there has been controversy through the seasons over Robyn and Kody Brown living in a much bigger home than the other wives, they seem to enjoy their home. However, they have decided to put the place on the market. While each of the former wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown are going their separate ways, now Robyn and Kody appear to be making new plans too. The previews for Sister Wives Season 19, show that the family is getting pulled and stretched in new ways during the transition out of plural marriage.
Since the dream of building together on Coyote Pass is only a figment of the past, Robyn and Kody are making new moves. Likewise, Garrison Brown‘s passing may be a weighted factor in their decision to let the dream home go. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom, 4,476 sqft. home looks clean and prepared for viewings, with big hopes of selling. But why are they choosing to move now?
Why Are Robyn And Kody Brown Selling Their Mansion?
Undeniably, the picture has changed drastically since the plural family first moved to Flagstaff, AZ. Instead of four wives, Kody Brown is now in a monogamous relationship with Robyn Brown. Likewise, losing a child gravely alters life in its entirety. On Reddit, several Sister Wives fans discuss the mansion being on the market. One user says, “Why do you all think K&R are selling?” Then, they add, “Crazy that the a**holes are selling their place. Something went down for them to sell their mansion. I know they are 3 less incomes. Robyn and Kody are seething they are selling and probably hate seeing how happy the OG3 are without them.”
Fans Weigh In
Without a doubt, several fans have ideas about why Robyn and Kody Brown are selling their home in Flagstaff.
- One person simply says, “They are broke.”
- “3 people left and they took their incomes with them😂.”
- “He’s a real estate genius so I’m sure he has figured out the exact right time to sell.”
- Someone else jokes, “Kody loves to buy high and sell low.”
- “The market is hot and the profitability window is narrow just like in Vegas. They may not have an opportunity like this again. Or, Dayton was accepted to grad school in another state.”
- “Dayton has got a job and high-tailed it out of Dodge to escape his over the top mommy. Kody and Robyn put the house for sale….rushing to protect the tender in his misguided attempt to escape. 🤬.”
- “Well, they bought it for around 900K and it’s selling for 1.6M. So clearly it’s not a bad time to sell, assuming they could get full price. But I think they are selling cause they can’t afford it without the other three incomes.”
- Someone else gives insight into the housing market in the area, “I live in a suburb of Phoenix and all the houses for sale in my area have been sitting for months.”
- “The pool of buyers at that price is very small.”
Other Fans Pick Up On Details About The Listing For Robyn & Kody Brown’s House
After the conversation continued, other Sister Wives fans were keen-eyed and saw that Robyn and Kody Brown’s listing didn’t include everything.
- “They aren’t including the extra lot they purchased, if I’m reading the listing correctly. Unless that could be sold separately or they build.”
- “I was wondering the same thing. The lot on the listing is 2 acres.”
- “Yes, there’s another parcel next to the one the house is on.”
- “Someone in another group actually found some info and they have apparently taken one and a second mortgage on this home alone.”
Is It All About The Money?
However, many people speculate that the move is rooted in money or the lack thereof for Robyn and Kody Brown.
- “I hope it’s because they have to pay back the other wives.”
- “This is my hope as well – they have to sale to reimburse Janelle and Meri.”
- “The only money Janelle and Meri can ever hope to recover is from CP. They will never get back what they contributed to Robyn’s house.”
- “That’s why that preview scene with him practically begging Janelle to give him another chance is hilarious. He’s desperate for her income!”
- “I’m wondering if the original three did take him to court and he has to sell to pay them back.”
- “My theory is they’ve taken out too many HELOC loans and need to cash out.”
- “I think they need the money and I think they’re desperate for a storyline.”
Greif May Be At The Root
Janelle and Kody Brown are most likely piecing together the shattering after the loss of their son, Garrison Brown. Furthermore, the entire family is learning to move on. Perhaps Robyn and Kody are moving away to start over, much like Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown have done. Likewise, most of the family has relocated, leaving little family connection for Kody and Robyn in Flagstaff.
- “I kind of feel like with everything falling apart in Flagstaff, the wives leaving, Garrisons passing it’s probably not an easy place to be. I wouldn’t blame them if they wanted to leave for a fresh start.”
- “I’m not super surprised. Kody seems to have trouble settling down in one area for too long. Robyn likes to follow her kids around wherever they go. It could be fueled by either of these things. They may have wanted to sell and waited until now to get more attention and hype for the new seasons premiere. I guess we will see! Also, someone mentioned grief and I think that could also be a reason.”
