Hannigan, Denisof Sell Encino Estate for $16 Million
The Encino estate sold in August 2022 for $16 million, the highest on-market price for a home in the neighborhood at the time.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Residential
Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof sold their Encino estate in August 2022 for $16 million, below its $18 million asking price. The sale set a record for an on-market home sale in Encino, surpassing the $15.2 million set by Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner in 2021.
Why it matters
The sale marks a new high-water mark for on-market residential sales in Encino, a San Fernando Valley neighborhood, and shows a sizable increase over the couple's $7.95 million purchase price in 2016. The transaction adds a benchmark for luxury home values in the Los Angeles area.
The sale price of $16 million exceeded the previous on-market Encino record of $15.2 million set in 2021, and came in below the $18 million listing price. The extraction does not specify the total number of comparable Encino sales in the period, so the rank among all area sales cannot be verified beyond this record.

Timeline
2001: Architect Peter Tolkin designs the estate.
2016: Hannigan and Denisof purchase the estate for $7.95 million.
2019: Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra buy a 20,000-square-foot Encino property for $20 million off-market.
2021: Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner set the prior on-market Encino record at $15.2 million.
August 2022: The estate sells for $16 million.
Market Benchmark
The $16 million sale exceeds the $15.2 million Encino on-market record that Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner set in 2021, raising the top of the local luxury market. It follows the 2019 off-market purchase by Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra for $20 million, which set a separate high for Encino property transactions.
For buyers and sellers in Encino, the $16 million record sets a higher reference point for on-market luxury pricing in the neighborhood. The estate's sale below its $18 million asking price shows that listing prices for high-end Los Angeles homes do not always translate directly into final sale prices.
The takeaway
Comparing a home's sale price to the most recent on-market record in its neighborhood gives a clearer picture of local value than the listing price alone. For Encino, the 2022 sale of this estate establishes a new point of reference for luxury transactions.
