Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are one of Hollywood’s most aww-inducing couples. With their celebrity set up (Anne Hathaway set them up), their talk show swooning, and two adorable daughters, they’re just too darn cute.
They’re also financially savvy as hell.
In 2016, Blunt and Krasinski took on the role of real estate moguls, selling three homes in the space of just a few months.
The first, a three story estate off Los Angeles’s Sunset Strip, sold in July 2016 for $8.31 million to Kendall Jenner. The second, a four bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills, sold for $4.481 million. And finally a third, according to Variety, their 5.17 acre home in Ojai California, sold in December for $3.068 million.
Patty Walcher/ Coldwell BankerBlunt and Krasinski originally listed the four bedroom, four-and-a-half bath Ojai home (which is about an hour and a half drive from Los Angeles) for $5.434 million. But before you feel bad for them only selling it for almost half that, they paid $2.748 million for it in June of 2012, netting them hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit.
It’s good to be them.
And in typical Blunt/Krasinski fashion, the Colonial style home is classic, adorable, and real.
A curved staircase greets you upon entering the home's foyer. Blunt will soon be starring in Mary Poppins Returns and as we all know the staircase in Mary Poppins was straight, so perhaps she needed a more accurate one to prep on.

The couple are now rumoured to be 'flipping' a townhouse in Brooklyn, New York, worth a staggering US$8 million.

What did they buy them for ?
Did they sell for a profit?
How much money did they spend on them to make the higher selling price?
I saw their names before I read the whole headline and thought "Oh no, don't tell me they're getting divorced too!" Nice properties!
