Tamra Judge Sells House For More Than $2 Million Amid RHOC Exit & Ex's Cancer
Feb. 22 2020, Updated 3:19 p.m. ET
Just days after Tamra Judge announced she'd be leaving The Real Housewives of Orange County and that her ex-husband Simon Barney was battling throat cancer, she's sold her $2 million house.
Tamra told Jeff Lewis Live on Sirius XM Radio that she and current spouse Eddie Judge would be moving out of their six-bedroom, four and half bathroom home in ritzy Coto De Caza, California.
Real estate agent Shelley Black of Veranda Realty helped the two buy the property for $2 million back in October 2018.
And this January, Black approached the Judges with a buyer willing to pay even more. The offer came after Tamra, 52, left RHOC and she told Lewis, 49, “I had so much happen to me in one week. Our house wasn’t even on the market! My good friend Shelley Black…she said, ‘Hey, I have somebody who wants to buy your house.’ "
The former Bravo star jumped at the offer as it was $200,000 more than she had paid for it less than two years ago, which means a tidy profit.
“I was like, ‘Sold!’ ” said Tamra, revealing that the house is currently in escrow.
The longtime RHOC star quit after being offered a humiliating demotion to friend status with a salary cut, as a source told Radar. "Bravo bosses wanted Tamra to be bridge from the old cast to the new in season 15 and she refused," the spy told Radar.
Now Tamra is talking about getting into house flipping as she contemplates a Bravo-free future.
Meanwhile, Tamra Judge's ex-husband Simon Barney is in the battle of his life with Stage 3 throat cancer.
Simon is the father of three of Tamra's four children and now she must face the harsh reality of his difficult medical situation.
"If it’s my time to die, it’s my time to die," Simon said.

Coto Sale
Tamra told Lewis, “Everybody’s going to be like, ‘Oh my god she can’t afford her house,’ ” after leaving RHOC. But the blonde beauty says she's in a fine financial position.
Property Details
According to PEOPLE, the house Tamra and Eddie sold sits on a 9,989-square-foot private lot, with oak trees to create a private oasis.
Luxurious Home
The house boasts a formal dining room, a living room with a fireplace, a family room, a walk-in pantry and butler’s pantry, an office, and an open kitchen with Carrara marble countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a large island, and eat-in nook.
New Job?
Tamra, who has a real estate license, said on the radio show this week, “We’re going to start flipping. I love it. I really miss real estate.”
Judges Moving On
The former RHOC star and her husband, who run CUT Fitness, lived in the home that features an upstairs area with a master suite, several smaller bedrooms and bathrooms, a huge closet, and lavish backyard space. But they were happy to make money in unloading the property after less than two years.
Ex’s Woes
Tamra has faced a lot of personal trouble recently. After rejecting Bravo's offer to continue on RHOC with friend status, doctors found cancer had spread into her former husband Simon’s throat, tonsils and lymph nodes to such an extent that surgery was ruled out, leaving him with the option of only undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. Recently, the couple put their differences aside to co-parent their children.
