‘Sister Wives’: Why The Brown Family Hasn’t Sold Coyote Pass

TV Shows

Sister Wives fans watched the Browns sell their Las Vegas properties and move to Flagstaff, Arizona years ago. The original plan was to build five new homes on the Coyote Pass property they purchased. However, the family still hasn’t broken ground there. Kody claims they have to pay off the land before they can develop it and they just don’t have the money to do so.

For ages, the Browns argued that money was the reason behind the delay. However, many fans now believe a lot of it has to do with Christine and Janelle’s departures. But why haven’t they sold the properties yet?

Sister Wives fans aren’t sure why the Browns keep Coyote Pass

As Sister Wives Season 17 continues, the Browns have plenty of problems. Onscreen, development seems to be the least of their priorities. So why not just sell the land then?

“My theory on why they haven’t sold Coyote Pass,” one Redditor wondered this week.

“We all know that if Coyote Pass was listed for sale, we would find out almost immediately, and that would ruin many of this seasons story lines. If Janelle truly left, selling the land is the next logical step, but maybe TLC incentivized (or bribed) the Browns to wait until the show caught up to real time.”

The user went on to mention that Kody and Robyn took out a large loan sometime last year, which could have been used to pay Janelle back for the price of her Las Vegas home. After that, their next step could be selling the Coyote Pass lots.

“And no, I don’t think Kody and Robyn are planning to sit on a million dollars worth of land to build a Robyn’s kids subdivision,” the Redditor concluded, referencing another Sister Wives thread.

“I’d be surprised if anyone wanted the property at this point. I think the guy that sold it to them must’ve laughed so hard. They basically bought a piece of property that is more expensive to develop than it’s worth,” another Reddit user said.

“I think if they were going to sell it, now is not the time. The market in Arizona is slowing down tremendously and interest rates are going up. If they wanted to capitalize on it, 6 months ago would’ve been the ideal time,” someone else pointed out.

Will Season 18 focus on Janelle’s departure?

Although many Sister Wives viewers suspected Janelle would jump ship soon, it seems like that just happened sometime in the past year. Now, plenty of fans would be interested in seeing a Sister Wives spin-off starring Christine and Janelle.

The future is still unclear, but Season 18 is already filming so there will definitely be new content next year. Since Season 17 focused on Christine’s departure, a lot of fans think Season 18 will focus on Janelle.
