Karla Estrada has confirmed that her family home is no longer up for sale.
The Face 2 Face host announced this in a Facebook post on Thursday, June 27, 2024.
Part of her caption read (published as is), "Para narin sa latest update about my house, at ng matapos na ang luma nang balitang ito... my house is not for sale anymore.
"Kaya sa mga panay post dyan hangang ngayon, na mistulang pa broker na kayo, ayan na ang latest.
"Para updated naman ang posts natin. Kung hindi nyo kami trip, ayos lang. Wag nyo na kami pag aksayan ng panahon. [emoji]"
Karla's update appears to have been prompted by persistent inquiries from critics questioning the reason for the sale.
She wrote, "Ano ba ang dapat talaga pag nag benta ang isang tao ng ari arian nya.. Ipaliwanag ang dahilan ng pag bebenta?
"Kasama ba sa requirements ng mga broker ang sabihin ang dahilan pag nag papa benta ng properties namin?
"Kailangan nag hihirap na sa buhay agad kaya nagbebenta ng ari arian? Medyo malayo ata sa katotohana yun Kase masisipag kami sa buhay."
KARLA ESTRADA'S FAMILY HOME
Karla's home made headlines earlier this year after it was revealed on social media that she had put it up for sale.
Realtor Mike Adonis, enlisted by Karla, announced the listing via Instagram on December 5, 2023.
However, news about the sale only began circulating in early January 2024.

Following the news, many netizens took to social media to speculate on why Karla decided to sell their home.
Karla subtly addressed these rumors during an interview on Bernadette Sembrano's YouTube vlog on May 11, 2024.
In the interview, Karla clarified that they had been attempting to sell their house for over two years and it wasn't a recent decision.
But Karla mentioned they are not selling the home aggressively, contrary to what some might think.
They are considering offers only if someone shows genuine interest in the property.
She told Bernadette, "Yes, this is for sale. Two years nang for sale ito.
"Pero hindi lang namin push na push. Pagka may gusto lang. 'Tsaka namimili ako, e. Kung sinong puwedeng...
"And dahil, siyempre, ako talagang nagagandahan ako sa bahay ko na ito. Pero masyado nang malaki para sa akin mag-isa."
One of the main reasons Karla initially decided to put the home up for sale is her desire to relocate to the south of Metro Manila, as her children—Daniel, Carlito, Magui, and Carmella—now have their own places.
She stated, "Eto yung pinaka-una naming bahay. Pero kasi, nagplaplano nga kami mag-South.
"Ako actually gusto ko na, dahil wala na akong kasama dito. Si Magui nasa abroad.
Si Carlito magfa-family.
"And then si Carmella, gusto na ngang mag-condo. Ganun na yung mga kabataan ngayon."
Additionally, Karla wants to be nearer to her closest friends and to have the convenience of the airport being just a short drive away.
"Gusto ko mag-south ngayon. Kasi nandoon lahat din mga friends ko. And then para sa akin, pag nag-start ako ng kung ano man ang umpisa natin sa Region 8, malapit na yung south. Malapit na sa airport."
