In May 2019, the Los Angeles Times reported that Jericho had listed his previous Lake Breckenridge home for $1.149 million. The property had 175 feet of shoreline, and its asking price was subsequently reduced. The Tampa Bay Business Journal reported that the mansion was built in 1998 and had three half-bathrooms.

Cardinale examined the relationship between water clarity and residential property prices across 113 U.S. lakes. Their estimates linked a 0.1-meter change in water clarity to an approximately 1 percent change in housing prices, with an estimated elasticity of 0.20 at the mean clarity level. The Lake Breckenridge home’s asking price fell from $1.149 million in 2019, with later reports citing different prices Blabbermouth reported that Jericho’s former Lake Breckenridge home was listed for approximately $1.149 million in May 2019. The asking price was subsequently reduced by $151,000 in June, $50,000 in July and $24,000 in September. These reductions total $225,000, which would bring the asking price to $924,000.

The property included a formal dining room, a bonus room, a living room with sliding glass doors, an enclosed patio with a swimming pool and a nearby outdoor kitchen.

Doubek, Hui Xu and Bradley J. The study identified water clarity as a lake-quality characteristic valued by the housing market.
