Mark Wahlberg and his family have had quite the year of changes to their living situation, but it appears they have finally landed on a place to settle down in.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Ted actor had sold his nearly $17 million Las Vegas home, only a year after he first purchased it.

Last year, the star revealed that he and his wife of 14 years, Rhea Durham, had decided to relocate from California to Las Vegas with their four kids, Ella Rae, 20, Michael, 17, Brendan, 15, and Grace, 13.

Now, after news broke that Mark had sold the home after only a year, he is giving insight into what is really happening with his family's living situation.

Speaking with TODAY.com, he explained: "When we decided to move (to Las Vegas), we wanted to move before school started, so we moved into a temporary place," adding: "And we now moved into another place."

He continued: "The plan was always to build, not only a studio but a family home. We just moved from one house to another."

According to documents obtained by the Las Vegas Review Journal, Mark's "temporary place" was sold for a whopping $16.6 million. Situated in a private community called The Summit Club, the home is a two-story, 7,327-square foot townhouse. He initially purchased it in August 2022 for $14.5 million.

Mark, giving further insight into what his family's life looks like in Nevada, also told Today: "You have Las Vegas, and people think automatically, 'Oh, the Strip.' But (in) Nevada, there are wonderful communities."

Though he admitted: "I miss California, I miss the weather," he added: "But the kids are thriving (in Las Vegas)," and explained: "I live in a wonderful community that's really faith-based, great schools. There's much more to Las Vegas than the Strip."
