Casa Britney Going for Cut-Rate Price

Spears' Summit estate drops to record low price tag of $6.6 million after nine months on the market

Britney Spears can kiss goodbye that career as the next host of Flip This House.

Despite having quietly shopped around her Italian Renaissance-inspired villa for the better part of a year, the pop star has yet to unload the six-bedroom, six-bath, 7,500-square-foot estate in the gated celeb-heavy Summit neighborhood.

Spears purchased the home for $7.1 million back in December 2007. Since then, the place started picking up bad juju as ground zero for her infamous gurney-strapped ambulance ride, among other embarrassing episodes during her public meltdown in early 2008.

The singer, who is currently touring the U.K. with her Circus act, dropped the sale price of her home to a measly $6.5 million on Tuesday, the lowest ever asked for the property. When it was first officially placed on the market by Sotheby's Realty back in September 2008, it was priced at $7.9 million.

And while Spears has yet to unload her old digs, it's hardly kept her from moving on up. She's currently leasing an even larger 10,300-square-foot home in Calabasas.
