Upping the price of a slow-to-sell property is an unusual tactic. But model-turned-entrepreneur Kathy Ireland<\/strong> has fared pretty successfully over the years, so we\u2019re fascinated to see what happens with her\u00a0Honolulu<\/a> beachfront resort listing.<\/p>\n

Trying to land on the perfect price, Ireland first put the island retreat on the market in September of 2022 for $6.9 million, then dropped the ask to $5.9 million in December, then raised<\/em> it to $6.5 million in March.<\/p>\n

Known as Villa Elizabeth, the tropical escape has been a favorite Hawaiian hangout for celebs such as\u00a0Dame Elizabeth Taylor<\/strong>, Janet Jackson,<\/strong>\u00a0and George Clooney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Portraits hanging on the resort\u2019s walls commemorate some of those A-list guests.<\/p>\n
