Real Estate

According to reports in 2018, Marc Maron sold his Highland Park house for a profit of $920,000. About $375,000 was the original price he paid for the home back in 2003.

 The attached garage is certainly the most noteworthy feature of the entire property, even though the house itself is undoubtedly desirable.

 Marc recorded numerous "WTF with Marc Maron" episodes, including the interview with Barack Obama, in this garage.

For whatever reason, a bidding war broke out, and the house he had listed for $750,000 increased in price by over $170,000.

That is a very high-profit margin for a real estate transaction, especially considering the house has only 932 square feet of living area.

That being said, the 8,114-square-foot property, which includes a lovely patio and wooden deck, gives the house a sizable outdoor space. The house's historical and cultural significance is thought to be why it was sought after by many onlookers.
