Actor Rebel Wilson pulled her Balmain investment property from its scheduled weekend auction.

The top floor apartment hit the market in May with a $2.3m guide, and then her CobdenHayson listing agent, and younger sister, Anna Wilson, was briefly advising $2.2m.

The auction got pushed back from mid-June to July, but quite possibly the star tunes in to CobdenHayson chief Matthew Hayson’s gloomier by-the-week video market update where he advised midweek of a below 50 per cent success rate.

Located on Reynolds St, the two-bedroom apartment now has a $2.3m asking price.

Wilson purchased the apartment – in the Lever Brothers soap factory heritage conversion project site – off the plan for $1.88m in 2015.

The main bedroom has a balcony and district views.

Rebel has owned the home since 2015.

It comes with striking artwork in the study showing The Beverly Hills hotel.

It is spread over two levels with 130sq m space. It was marketed as a house-like apartment on Punch Park.

Wilson stayed in it while renovating her former home in Birchgrove which she sold in 2022 for $9.5m.

Wilson has a penchant for property on the Balmain peninsula, with her family also owning there through the decades.

Anna Wilson of CobdenHayson has a $2.3m asking price for her sister Rebel's Balmain apartment.

She still retains a nearby property after her investment company paid $3.6m in 2022 for a four-bedroom home.

There are also homes in London and Hollywood, where she and partner Ramona Agruma are raising their daughter Royce.

Wilson recently listed her home office and guesthouse in West Hollywood for sale at $US4.15m ($6.24m).

“I love real estate, so I thought, ‘If I need an office, I’ll make it an investment,” Wilson told The Wall Street Journal last month.

She paid $2.95m for it in 2016, but is now “downsizing” to a smaller office space because she is spending more time at home with Royce.

Built in 2015, the gated holding comes with a saltwater pool, hot tub and an outdoor fireplace.

It is being sold through listing agent Tracy Tutor of Douglas Elliman.

There is a Jack and Jill bedroom among its five bedrooms.

Wilson, 44, converted the garage into a gym with a pink-neon sign that reads “Rebel Gym”.
