Actor and filmmaker Justin Baldoni has completed the sale of his Los Angeles home for $2.1 million after retaining the house as an investment.
Entertainment news outlet Page Six first reported the property sale, with People magazine confirming that the 42-year-old actor originally acquired the house in 2017. The residence served as an investment property rather than a primary residence for Baldoni in recent years.
A source familiar with details of the real estate transaction told People that the filmmaker had not lived in the house for years. The source explained that Baldoni and his family had long since moved out of the property to establish their home elsewhere.
In real estate, an investment property refers to a residential or commercial asset purchased specifically to generate financial returns, through rental income or future resale value, rather than serving as the owner personal primary residence.
Property features and feng shui design
The Los Angeles property features three bedrooms and three bathrooms. In 2020, Justin Baldoni and his wife, Emily Baldoni, gave People an exclusive video tour of the residence, showcasing the customized layout of the living spaces.
During the tour, the actor revealed that the couple had styled the interior according to the principles of feng shui. Baldoni explained that they collaborated with a professional interior decorator who had been recommended by his former television co-star Gina Rodriguez.
Feng shui is a traditional Chinese practice that focuses on arranging physical environments and positioning interior elements to create harmony between individuals and their surroundings. Practitioners believe that specific furniture arrangements, color choices, and open pathways encourage a balanced flow of natural energy through living spaces.
Rodriguez and Baldoni worked together closely for five years on the satirical comedy series Jane the Virgin, where Rodriguez starred in the title role of Jane Villanueva and Baldoni portrayed hotel owner Rafael Solano.
Family moves to Ojai and Nashville
Justin Baldoni and Swedish actress Emily Baldoni have been married since 2013 and share two children. The family had previously relocated from their Los Angeles residence to Ojai, California, where they lived for several years.
Ojai is a scenic small city located in Ventura County, nestled in a valley northwest of Los Angeles. Known for its quiet atmosphere, mountain views, and creative community, the town has long served as a rural haven for artists and entertainment professionals seeking privacy away from the film industry.
The family later decided to move away from California altogether. After their stay in Ojai, the Baldoni family relocated across the country to Nashville, Tennessee, where they settled permanently in late 2025.
In May, a source familiar with the family told People that Nashville had welcomed the couple warmly during an especially difficult period. The source noted that the Tennessee city provided a hospitable environment that had helped the family heal their wounds, away from the public commotion and industry noise.
Directing career and recent statements
Beyond his television acting work, Baldoni has built an extensive career as a film director and producer. He directed the romantic medical drama Five Feet Apart in 2019 and the biographical musical drama Clouds in 2020 before directing and starring in the 2024 film adaptation of Colleen Hoover romance novel It Ends with Us.
In July 2026, the filmmaker and his wife marked their thirteenth wedding anniversary. Both shared affectionate public tributes online to celebrate their thirteen years of marriage.
Earlier that same month, on July 9, 2026, Baldoni and his wife broke their silence regarding the public controversy surrounding his collaboration with co-star Blake Lively on It Ends with Us. The couple stated that they had felt injustice and trauma during the dispute, adding that the conflict had been publicly framed as a battle for women.
The couple continue to live in Nashville with their two children following the completion of the California property sale.
