Jennifer Lopez has returned to L.A. after her Hamptons summer escape … and instead of mending fences with Ben Affleck, she’s channeling her energy into looking at real estate.

The singer showed up ring-free with her daughter Emme to check out a killer $68 million pad in Bev Hills over the weekend — even though she’s been trying to sell her own $68M marital pad in the same area for about a month.

No surprise J. Lo’s got cash to burn … and she seemed in great spirits as she kicked off her day with Emme going out on a coffee run before checking out the ultra-swanky 5-bed, 6.5-bath mansion.

Like we said … there was no sign of Ben, who was out and about flaunting his new buzzcut without wearing his ring either.

Meanwhile, Ben’s also made some serious real estate moves … he snagged a $20 million Pacific Palisades pad last week and, coincidentally, J Lo wrapped up the sale of her $23 million NYC condo that same day.

The pair also put their $68 million mansion on the market … which is still up for grabs after a month.

As you know, rumors Ben and Jen were having troubles began circulating in May … but they haven’t rushed to get a divorce.

For now, the two have separated … but the situation doesn’t appear to be getting any better and, as we first reported, they’ve now stopped talking with one another.
