A Common thread in a bunch of celebrity items we saw this weekend: In what’s supposed to be a soft market, these celeb sellers are hoping to walk away with decent -- in some cases indecent -- profits.

(Disclaimer: it wasn’t the strongest weekend for celebrity items -- lots of B-list and below stuff.)

Sitcom actress (‘’Til Death’) Joely Fisher has listed her Encino Hills home for $4.295 million, Ruth Ryon reports in the L.A. Times. She bought it two years ago for $3.5 million. If she gets her price, that’s 23% appreciation.

Local TV anchorman David Ono has listed his house in Toluca Lake (pictured) for $3.5 million. He bought it in 2005 for $2.2 million. If he gets his price, that’s 59% appreciation in two years.

RealEstalker says actor Stacy Keach is looking to sell his Calabasas place for $2.295 million, having purchased it for $1.69 million a year ago. That would be 36% in a year.

And Nico Santucci isn’t close to being a celebrity -- he’s a Las Vegas character and a friend of Michael Jackson’s, as RealEstalker explains.-- but he thinks he can flip like a celebrity. He bought in Beverly Hills 11 months ago for $2.78 million and, after some redo magic, is trying to sell same for $4.5 million, RealEstalker reports. That would be a 62% pop.
