Jason Oppenheim is preparing to let go of the Los Angeles home he bought less than a year ago. The Selling Sunset star, 44, tells PEOPLE why he's listed the house for sale despite still being in love with it.
"I'm not certain I want to sell it, I'm more inclined to lease it because I love the house so much. But I decided to put it on the market both for sale and for lease regardless. I'm always a seller at the right price," Oppenheim says of the mansion he purchased last October in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Mount Olympus.
He adds, "I think it's still likely that I'll move back to that house at a later date. I absolutely love the house and I love the area."

The 4,874-square-foot property was built by Avengers actor Jeremy Renner in 2008, the Los Angeles Times previously reported, and property records show the star sold the property in 2013.
"This house is special for many reasons," Oppenheim tells PEOPLE. "First, it's extremely private and well located. Second, it's got a huge yard for a house in The Hollywood Hills. Third, it's got a very impressive city view. Fourth, it has stunning 20-foot ceilings with walls of glass. And lastly, it has a very iconic and timeless style to it."

The Netflix star and founder/president of the Oppenheim Group previously told PEOPLE last year that while he wasn't planning on moving originally, he was "always looking for special properties, and when I saw this house I just fell in love with it."

He said he snagged the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in an off-market deal after finding that it checked "so many important boxes that I look for in a property."

According to Realtor, Oppenheim previously rented the home out for $49,000 a month when he decided to not make it his permanent residence.
Originally purchased for $5,125,000, per the outlet, Oppenheim is now asking $7,995,000 for the space, which is being offered fully furnished.

Oppenheim attributes the significant price hike to the work he did on the house since buying it. "I did a pretty extensive 7-figure renovation," he says. "Most of it is cosmetic — a lot of work in the movie theater, as well as audiovisual throughout the house, painting, lighting, and landscaping."
"I built a bar, I built a wine room and just turned it up a notch, as well as furnished it," he adds.

Looking ahead, Oppenheim — who says he is the agent on the property and "always" represents himself — also explains whether or not fans can expect to see the home's listing on season four of Selling Sunset, which is currently in production.
"You can expect to see the home on upcoming seasons of Selling Sunset," he tells PEOPLE exclusively.
