Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber Allow Buyer to Back Out of Malibu Sale Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber just lost out on the sale of their Malibu home—but for good reason and on good terms, it seems. The Hollywood couple sold their secondary Malibu house recently for $6.5 million, but given the increasing seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic, the buyers asked to back out, according to TMZ. Crawford and Gerber reportedly told the couple that canceling the sale would be no problem, and that everyone was “in this together.” The supermodel and Casamigos founder even returned the deposit.

The couple first put their longtime Malibu home on the market for $7.5 million last spring—a considerable amount more than the $1.85 million they reportedly paid for the place in the ’90s. The 2,413-square-foot Spanish-style home has four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, and provides direct access to the Pacific Ocean.

A picturesque terra-cotta-tiled porch fronts the home, which has an open-plan common living space that includes a fireplace-anchored living room, a dining room, and a kitchen, all sharing a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass sliders that open out onto a glass-railed deck overlooking the waves. The space features a high contrast of polished dark hardwood floors and a white wood-beamed ceiling. The kitchen boasts granite countertops and a breakfast bar. Upstairs, the master suite, also overlooking the water, has a private balcony accessible via a wall of French doors. A corner fireplace provides warmth on chillier evenings, and the master bathroom features a jetted Jacuzzi-style soaking tub and skylight for extra natural light.

Crawford, Gerber, and their two children, Kaia and Presley, are currently spending their days at their other Malibu home—which Crawford gave fans a glimpse of in her Vogue’s 73 Questions interview in 2017. In addition to their beachside properties, the family also owns a $11.63 million Beverly Hills mansion and a $5.4 million desert retreat in La Quinta.
