Brittany Murphy and Simon Monjack's Hollywood death house won't be auctioned off today as planned -- in fact, TMZ has learned, the property could remain in purgatory for another two weeks.
The auction to sell off the giant Hollywood Hills home has been postponed at the bank's request.
We're told Brittany's mom Sharon asked for the extra time because she's trying to unload the house on her own.
As we previously reported, the house went into foreclosure recently -- and according to court docs filed earlier this month, over $4 million is still owed on the property.
The new auction date is February 14. Still need a V-Day gift idea?

Brittany Murphy's House Goes Up for Auction
The house both Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack died in has gone into foreclosure and will be auctioned off tomorrow ... this according to court docs.
The house, located in the Hollywood Hills, is 8,000 square feet on 1.29 acres. It's had a long history since Brittany passed away in December 2009. Back in March 2010, Brittany's mom Sharon put the home on the market with an asking price of $7.25 million.
Then in April 2010, Brittany's mom decided to pull the house off the market. About seven weeks later, Monjack was found dead in the home.
According to docs filed earlier this month, $4,035,666.92 is still owed on the home and an auction is set for Monday morning at 10:30 AM at the courthouse in Pomona, CA.

NYC Landlord Wants Money from Lennon Suit Auction
A New York City landlord has sued the gallery that auctioned the suit John Lennon wore on the cover of the Beatles' "Abbey Road" album, trying to get at the proceeds to satisfy a rent debt.
Braswell Galleries was told before the Jan. 1 sale that a court had determined in 2009 that seller Biond Fury — a psychic and memorabilia collector — owed more than $21,000 in rent for his former Manhattan apartment, according to landlord Mark Arrow's lawsuit, filed Tuesday in a Manhattan state court. Arrow's lawyers say they told the Norwalk, Connecticut-based gallery not to go through with the sale, and that the gallery should now have to fork over at least $21,463 of the $46,000 paid for the suit.
Arrow had been unable to collect the rent debt from Fury, but the prospects brightened when he learned of the coming auction from a newspaper report last month, said Arrow lawyer Adam Leitman Bailey.
"We're all coming together over John Lennon," he said.
Gallery co-owner Kathy Braswell declined to comment.
A lawyer for Fury didn't return a telephone call this week. No working telephone number could be found for Fury, who in 2008 bought a Durham, North Carolina, mansion that was the site of a notorious 2001 murder, according to a local newspaper report.
Fury has been involved for decades in buying and selling memorabilia, including items related to the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe, according to news reports.
Co-owner George Braswell told The Hour of Norwalk last month that the "Abbey Road" suit's owner was selling it because of economic hardship. The seller had bought it in 1996, sold it in 2005 and repurchased it in 2008, according to a timeline on the Braswell Galleries website.
The white suit was custom-made for Lennon by French designer Ted Lapidus.
Released in 1969, "Abbey Road" was one of the Beatles' most indelible albums, with songs including "Come Together," "Something" and the 16-minute medley that includes "You Never Give Me Your Money."
