Summary
MarketWatch reported on September 29, 2026, that singer Donnie Wahlberg and actress Jenny McCarthy are selling their St. Charles, Illinois, residence for $2.8 million. The couple bought it for $1.1 million in 2015 and have owned it for more than a decade, putting the proposed price $1.7 million, or 154.5%, above their purchase cost.
Only a short feed summary was available. It disclosed no property specifications, renovations, expenses, listing terms or completed sale, so the implied appreciation is unrealized and potential net proceeds cannot be determined.
Positives
- $2.8 million is $1.7 million, or 154.5%, above the couple’s $1.1 million purchase price from 2015.
- More than a decade of ownership establishes a long holding period before the proposed sale.
- Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg give the St. Charles property recognizable celebrity provenance.
Risks & concerns
- $2.8 million is an offering figure, and the limited summary reports no completed sale.
- The feed omits the home’s size, amenities, condition and comparable sales, limiting assessment of the valuation.
- Renovation spending, taxes, commissions and mortgage details are undisclosed, preventing calculation of the couple’s potential net gain.
