Celebrity Listing: Ryan Seacrest Buying Ellen Degeneres's Home

In one of the largest Los Angeles-area real estate deals of the year, American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is buying talk show host Ellen DeGeneres' Beverly Hills compound.  Seacrest is in escrow to purchase the Beverly Hills estate for $37 million, according to a person close to the transaction.  The property was listed last fall for $49 million but Ms. DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi were quietly shopping it last year for $60 million.

The nine-bedroom property includes a 9,200-square-foot modern residence, two guesthouses and a separate three-bedroom house. It is located on a private street in north Beverly Hills.

The houses and guest houses are situated on more than three acres, and the grounds include a swimming pool and large pond. DeGeneres assembled the compound during the past five years or so by combining four separate properties.
