That was quick.

After roughly four years in the 305, the social media influencer known as The Fat Jewish is pulling up stakes.

Born Josh Ostrovsky, the Instagram celeb has put his home in Miami Shores on the market for $4.25 million.

Ostrovsky and his wife Caitlin King, parents of a 3-year-old son, bought the plush pad known as the Panorama House for $2.5 million in the summer of 2021.

The couple first moved to Hibiscus Island in 2020, in the height of the COVID 19 pandemic, before relocating to the leafy enclave north of downtown.

“It’s now worth double what he paid,” co-listing broker George Burns, of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, told The New York Post.

The comedian isn’t just selling to make a tidy profit; apparently, he’s just not into suburbia and the whole home ownership thing.

“It’s a lot of work, with landscaping and all,” said Burns. “He’s coming from New York and not used to it.”

Ostrovsky didn’t make all his dough from Internet clicks. He’s also the co-founder of a line of canned wines, including millennial fave White Girl Rosé. In 2019, he and his partners sold the company, Swish Beverages, to Anheuser-Busch.

The recently renovated four bedroom, four and a half bath crib, built in 1950, seems like a perfect spot for families, wannabe chefs who like entertaining, or active, outdoorsy types.

“This expansive Mid-Century Modern gem exudes charm on a spacious half acre corner lot with room for expansion or a tennis/pickleball court,” reads the description.

Major highlights include a hexagon-shaped loggia with BBQ, 42-foot-long pool, fireplace, recreation room and kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances.

As to where Ostrovsky is going? The Miami Herald reached out to the Internet star, but did not immediately hear back. We hear he’s traveling in Europe.

“Maybe he’ll find another deal,” real estate agent Burns told the Post. “But he’s a very transient person and he could land anywhere after this.”
