Lisa Marie inherited the Memphis, TN, property at the time of her father's death, but now the keys belong to someone else.

We also discuss tips for navigating secondhand sales websites and how one person claims they saved $10,000 on home furnishings by shopping on Facebook Marketplace.

Then, we announce this week's celebrity real estate winners and loser. The winners are real estate moguls who recently sold a ritzy Montecito, CA, ranch to the CEO of Bumble, and the loser is a prolific actor and Broadway performer who many millennials will remember as Seth Cohen's dad on "The OC."

]]> 2784 149. Lena Dunham's Luxury Tiny Home, Trevor Noah's Penthouse, 'Selling the OC' episode 7 Recap We kick off this week's episode of "House Party" with a lively discussion about two buzzy topics in celebrity real estate news. The first: writer, director, and millennial antihero Lena Dunham's beautifully designed luxury tiny home that she built in her parents' backyard. The über successful Dunham could presumably live just about anywhere, but she opted to design and move into a one-and-a-half-bedroom "forever home" that's 10 feet from her parents' house. So we have to wonder if Dunham's latest real estate move is indicative of a larger trend for millennials and Gen Zers. Is designing and living in an accessory dwelling unit the next hot housing trend for young would-be homebuyers who don’t mind sharing a yard with their family? Then, we chat about Trevor Noah's gorgeously designed New York City penthouse that hit the market for $13 million. With 3,600 square feet of space, 15-foot ceilings, and a private terrace with a plunge pool, could this be the best deal in the Big Apple? And we finish out the episode with a recap of "Selling the OC" episode 7. The penultimate episode of the season is full of petty drama and pretty homes, including a modern Mediterranean in Newport Beach, CA, and a renovated midcentury home in San Clemente, CA.

]]> 3023 148. Truth Behind the Homes on 'Selling the OC' Episode 6, Plus, Is Kylie Jenner's Mansion Actually Worth $22M? Over the years we've seen plenty of celebrities buy and sell second homes in the same city as their primary residence. Lebron James has simultaneously owned homes in the tony Los Angeles enclaves of Brentwood and Beverly Hills. Leonardo DiCaprio has a long history of doing real estate deals all over LA, from Malibu to Los Feliz. Now, Kylie Jenner is the latest A-lister to put her "spare" LA home up for sale. Jenner and her partner Travis Scott reportedly listed their Beverly Hills home for $22M. The curious part? They bought the home in 2018 for $13.4 million, far less than the current listing price. Does the 9,680-square-foot estate warrant such a high price tag? Will they get their price? We discuss it all on a new episode of "House Party" podcast. This week we also discuss Reese Witherspoon's latest real estate win: flipping (one of) her Nashville homes for $7.4 million. And we finish out the episode with a recap of "Selling the OC" episode six, titled "Co-listing Chaos." As the agents at The Oppenheim Group Newport Beach are dealing with the fallout of the "Kayla-Tyler drama," we are treated to an inside look at two gorgeous properties. The first is "Gio's house," a 3,817-square-foot home on Newport Bay, and the second is "Tyler's listing" in Dana Point, a mansion that was on the market for $10M.

Ty Pennington Reveals One Design Choice That Makes Him Want to Cry; Plus, a Peek at Tom Cruise's Real Estate full realtor.com Summer is closer than ever, and on HGTV that means a return to the shore for another season of "Battle on the Beach." We thoroughly enjoyed the first season of this home renovation competition show, and we weren't alone. Last year, it was watched by more than 13 million viewers. So you can only imagine how excited we were to meet three new teams of competitors and see them flip three identical beach houses with the help of their HGTV mentors Ty Pennington, Taniya Nayak, and Alison Victoria. This week, the teams tackled the kitchen and dining areas in their respective beach houses. One team's design reigned supreme, but the episode featured plenty of twists and turns that we couldn't wait to discuss. Want to hear our hot takes? Press play on this new episode of "House Party." And, in the wake of "Top Gun: Maverick" being the hottest movie of the summer, we welcome Realtor.com celebrity real estate writer Claudine Zap back on the podcast to discuss Tom Cruise’s real estate portfolio.

While most teams went the route of building an in-law unit or accessory dwelling unit, one team went in an entirely different direction and made a design choice that likely helped them secure the win.

On this episode of "House Party," we discuss the impact of guest judges (and high-end designers) Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent, whether or not good design adds value to a home, Keith Bynum's savvy dumpster diving skills, and more.

The home renovation competition gives four teams of HGTV stars mere weeks and a limited budget to design one of four identical homes in their signature style while also adding value to their property. The team who adds the most value wins. At this point in the show, it's anyone's game and we have zero idea which team is going to take the crown.

So you can imagine how excited we are that the new season of "Rock the Block" has begun. For the next six weeks we'll watch some of our favorite design experts go head to head to maximize the value of four identical houses. Each team has $225,000 to customize their house in pursuit of the ultimate prize: bragging rights and a street named in their honor. Oh, and did we mention that Ty Pennington is hosting? Yeah, this is going to be fun.This week's episode starts out by introducing us to the four teams competing against each other: Mike Jackson and Egypt Sherrod from "Married to Real Estate", "Jenny and Dave Marrs from "Fixer to Fabulous", Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas from "Bargain Block", and Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis from "Unsellable Houses". The  first challenge is to make over the kitchen, dining area, and adjacent powder room. Each team is looking to add their signature style to their rooms while also increasing the appeal and overall value. And who stops by to judge their hard work?

Would having that forever home renovated by HGTV stars Drew and Jonathan Scott make you want to stay there, well, forever? Part of the appeal of "Property Brothers: Forever Home," which premiered in 2019, is that viewers can tune in with the expectation that the homeowners will be keeping these homes for the long haul—as opposed to turning around and selling them, capitalizing on the premium that the house was featured on TV. (The first episode of "Property Brothers: Forever Home" was the highest-rated series premiere for HGTV since March 2017.) So you can only imagine our surprise when we learned that the house featured on the series premiere episode—a modest yet charming three-bedroom, three-bathroom in Richmond, CA—recently went up for sale. Naturally, we had to recap the episode and dive deeper into the story on "House Party." Press play to listen to our no-holds-barred thoughts on the renovation, and why we think the homeowners decided to move on from their supposed forever home. Other topics we discuss: The rise of the "status" fridge trend: Is it here to stay or a fleeting design choice for the wealthy? The Weeknd's new $70 million Bel-Air mansion Pierce Brosnan takes his $100 million Malibu home off the market after a year without any offers. Ellen DeGeneres buys another mansion.

That's why we were beyond thrilled this week to have one of the three couple-contestants, Sunjay and Darryl Williams (Team Alison Victoria), join us on the podcast and divulge all the behind-the-scenes dirt. The Atlanta-based renovating duo were an absolute delight and offered up some fun anecdotes that we're pretty certain never aired. Tune in to hear their interview, our recap of Episode 5, and our prediction for who wins the whole shebang. (The season finale airs on Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT.)

Our Honest Take on the Launch of Chip and Jo's Magnolia Network; Plus, 'Battle on the Beach,' Episode 2 “Fixer Upper” fanatics have been waiting with bated breath for the official launch of the Magnolia Network, the television and streaming channel curated by Chip and Joanna Gaines. For months, they’ve been teasing a mix of home and design, cooking, and gardening shows about “risk takers, creators, course changers, dreamers, and learners,” but the premiere on July 15 revealed the full extent of their programming—and their plans for the future. This week on “House Party,” Rachel and Natalie take a close look at the slate of shows currently offered on the Magnolia Network and serve up their no-holds-barred thoughts. Some of the series sound laughably banal (like “Making Modern With Brooke and Brice,” in which “a married duo renovates amazing homes”). Others sound impossibly niche (“Super Dad” introduces us to Taylor Calmus, a DIY expert who helps fathers realize their kids’ backyard dreams). Above all, Rachel and Natalie can’t help but wonder if—and how—many of these shows will find an audience. Other topics we discuss: We were so captivated by the first episode of HGTV's "Battle on the Beach" that we decided to recap Episode 2!

]]> 3034 no 106. The Sexiest Kitchen Ever? Plus, Bad News for Shaq; Alicia Keys Sells Dreamy Desert Home We enjoyed last week's episode of "Celebrity IOU" so much that we had to see what was in store for this week. To our delight, the latest installment was arguably more entertaining—and heartwarming—due in large part to the celebrity guest, the lovely LeAnn Rimes. "Property Brothers" stars Drew and Jonathan Scott returned to help the singer and actress fix up the home of her very dear friend Roger, who's been a guiding light in Rimes' life. To show her gratitude for nearly 20 years of friendship, Rimes teamed up with the Scotts to turn Roger's kitchen and deck space into an entertainer's dream. The team had two major design challenges: fixing the awkward kitchen layout and churning out a moody yet welcoming all-black kitchen. And while all-black kitchens have the potential to go very wrong, the Scott brothers and Rimes really nailed it. To hear how they pulled it off, click on the new episode of "House Party" above.

The HGTV endeavor pairs Drew and Jonathan Scott with celebrities who want to gift a home renovation to someone special in their lives (and they've managed to get quite a few A-listers on board). So when the show returned this week after a hiatus, we knew we should tune in to see what all the fuss is about. In this episode, the brothers team up with Kris Jenner to build an outdoor oasis for Jenner's best friend, who's had a rough couple of years. (Kim Kardashian West and Kendall Jenner join in for some of the fun, too.) We discuss the episode, and whether there are actually any useful takeaways if you're not made of millions. Other topics we discuss: Cara Delevigne's quirky Los Angeles home was just featured in a video tour by Architectural Digest, and the internet is abuzz over the "vagina tunnel" inside. But that might be one of the less weird features of her home—it's an adult playground, and we are here for it. Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's nearly $17 million home is up for sale—and at least one of us finds it surprising.

With the current heat wave in the West, where temperatures are creeping up into the triple digits, jumping into a pool—any pool—sounds like heaven on earth. But what are those of us who don't own a pool to do? One solution is Swimply, the app that allows you to rent a pool in your area. We've been privy to Swimply for a few summers, but with so many lingering questions (Do the pool hosts have insurance? Are the pool hosts home while you're taking a dip? Where do you go to the bathroom?), we were hesitant to take the plunge and rent a pool. This week, though, we welcomed Swimply co-founder and COO Asher Weinberger to "House Party" to answer all our questions and give us the scoop on how Swimply came to be, the impact it could have on homebuying, and some of the craziest uses for Swimply to date. Other topics we discuss: Iggy Azalea's hilarious (and petty) feud with her new suburban neighbors "The Laundry Guy," a new show on the Discovery+ streaming network, aims to answer all your burning laundry questions.

    ]]>     2128 no     100. Kelly Clarkson's Real Estate Victory; The 'Ultimate Spaghetti Trick'; A Questionable New Candle Scent We've had our eyes on Kelly Clarkson's real estate portfolio for a while now. The singer and television personality famously bought—and is currently selling—two mega-mansions, one in Los Angeles and one in Tennessee. In terms of features, these two abodes are comparable. Both feature massive five-digit floor plans, extensive backyard water features, and farmhouse-style touches like exposed wood. They're both located in star-studded enclaves (the Los Angeles home is in Encino and the Tennessee estate is in Hendersonville). And, of course, they both have the celebrity pedigree of being owned by the beloved Clarkson. But the one glaring difference between these two properties? The Tennessee estate has been languishing on the market for years. Four years, to be exact. However, this week we finally learned that Clarkson found a buyer. The Hendersonville house went into contract, but the final sale price is unknown (although she most recently slashed the price to $7.5M in December 2020). Guess we'll just have to wait a little longer to see if Clarkson will walk away from this one a winner. But the question still remains: why did it take so long for this sprawling southern estate to sell? We have some theories that we couldn't wait to propose on week's episode of our official podcast, "House Party." In addition to celebrating Clarkson unloading her Tennessee palace, we also toast a "House Party" milestone: our 100th episode! We couldn't have done it without our loyal listeners and we are so grateful for their support. Other topics we discuss on this week's episode: Candle news!

They're both located in star-studded enclaves (the Los Angeles home is in Encino and the Tennessee estate is in Hendersonville). And, of course, they both have the celebrity pedigree of being owned by the beloved Clarkson. But the one glaring difference between these two properties? The Tennessee estate has been languishing on the market for years. Four years, to be exact.

    However, this week we finally learned that Clarkson found a buyer. The Hendersonville house went into contract, but the final sale price is unknown (although she most recently slashed the price to $7.5M in December 2020). Guess we'll just have to wait a little longer to see if Clarkson will walk away from this one a winner.

    But the question still remains: why did it take so long for this sprawling southern estate to sell? We have some theories that we couldn't wait to propose on week's episode of our official podcast, "House Party." In addition to celebrating Clarkson unloading her Tennessee palace, we also toast a "House Party" milestone: our 100th episode! We couldn't have done it without our loyal listeners and we are so grateful for their support.

    ]]>     2823 no     98. Should Celebs Stay in Their Lanes When it Comes to Home and Gardening Advice? It's no surprise that gardening skyrocketed into the hearts—and onto the social media pages—of many Americans during the pandemic. It's one of the fastest-growing hobbies, but it's also nothing new. Master gardeners have been honing their craft for years. And yet in the past year we've seen more and more celebrities showing an interest (sometimes even a mild fascination) in gardening and other home projects and then parlaying that into business ventures. A recent New York Times article highlighted Drew Barrymore's gig as the and face of Instead, a new lawn-care subscription service. Bear in mind that until last spring, the actress, businesswoman, and TV host doubted her ability to garden before planting her first lawn. "I did not think I could do this,” Barrymore told the New York Times. So, our question is: do celebrities really deserve to be seen as the face (or, in the case of Barrymore, the co-chief creative officer) of a home and/or gardening company if they don't really have as much experience as, say, a seasoned expert with a lower profile and smaller platform? Why are we so quick to take advice from celebrities—even consider them "guides" or "gurus"—when they've barely proven their hand at skills like gardening, furniture making, or beekeeping? How does merely showing an interest in a popular hobby qualify anyone to form an empire around it? On this week's episode of "House Party," we get into the reasons why this seems a little backward. Other stories we discuss on this episode: Madonna buys The Weeknd's home in Hidden Hills for $19.3M Bette Midler's $50M Manhattan penthouse finds a buyer Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson buys rockin' Beverly Park estate for $27.8M This week's celebrity real estate winner and loser of the week Want more “House Party”?

HGTV's Proposed Programming Pivot Has Us Talking For nearly three decades, HGTV has churned out lighthearted, wholesome content that, when consumed, feels like a warm hug. Its home renovation TV shows—particularly the programming over the past 10 years—have provided an easy watching experience for those of us looking for a soothing, formulaic, low-stakes viewing experience. But a recent story in the New Yorker indicated that things might be changing at HGTV: The content might be getting edgier. With potential new shows with working titles like "Meth-House Makeover," "Nightmare Neighbors 911," and "The World's Weirdest Realtors," it appears that the executives at Discovery (HGTV's parent company) are thinking outside the box—and we're totally on board. On this episode of "House Party," we break down this story and give our honest, unfiltered opinions. Are we in favor of HGTV getting a little weird? Press play above to find out! And, we also crown this week's celebrity real estate winner and loser. Our winner, an NBA star and exotic fish aficionado, swam off with quite a deal on his Las Vegas mansion.

Chip and Jo's Shocking Admissions, From Their Oprah Interview; Plus, Sad News for Shaq full realtor.com Keeping tabs on all things Chip and Joanna Gaines has become our MO on "House Party," so when we learned that the duo would be joining Oprah Winfrey for an exclusive interview, we knew we had to tune in. Winfrey's previous high-profile sit-down with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was full of vulnerable admissions and revelations about their lives over the past few years, so we figured that, this time around, we were in for an honest, insightful chat with the famed "Fixer Upper" duo. Did they go as deep as we'd hoped, or were we left wanting more? We get into it on this brand-new episode of "House Party." Other topics we discuss: It's been about a year since we went into lockdown, and that (in addition to this New York Times article) prompted us to reflect on our pandemic purchases for the home and how our decor has changed.

    ]]>     1881 no     87. A Celebrity Real Estate Agent Tells All; Plus, Inside the (Almost) Unbelievable 'Bachelor' Pad of Tyler Cameron and Matt James Celebrity moves are a huge topic of conversation on this podcast, and while we, as your humble hosts, do our best to research and bring you the full story behind those transactions, there are inevitably some things we’re left with questions about. So we decided to consult with a guy who knows firsthand: our special guest this week is Gary Gold, real estate agent to the rich and famous. Gold answers (most of) our burning questions and tells some fun celebrity stories you won't want to miss. We hope you'll tune in to hear that segment—and much, much more—on this week's episode. Other topics we discuss: Get a whiff of this: A "This Smells Like My Vagina" candle (the buzzy product released last year by actress and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow) exploded in a U.K. woman's living room. We do a deep dive on the luxury Manhattan apartment shared by "The Bachelor" franchise's Matt James and Tyler Cameron—and suffice it to say, we have some questions. Sure, "Bachelor" contestants have been known to make major money through influencer gigs, hawking hair-growth gummy bears or sunglasses, but we never considered that hyping up real estate could also be part of their brand. A tale of two comedians: We give an update on Kathy Griffin's gorgeous Bel-Air mansion for sale, and we check in on Chelsea Handler's equally stunning Bel-Air oasis. Armie Hammer slashes the price on his home amid headline-making scandals. Finally, in some much-needed feel-good news: NBA superstar Kyrie Irving buys a home for the family of the late George Floyd. And a special thanks to US News & World Report for naming "House Party" one of the top 10 real estate podcasts! Want more “House Party”?

    ]]>     2206 no     85. 2020 Wrap-Up: The Celebrity Homes That Made Our Jaws Drop This Year Welcome to the official "House Party" 2020 Year in Review! To reflect upon the past year in real estate and give 2020 the wrap-up it deserves, we thought back to all the notable properties we saw and decided to dole out superlatives. This year's accolades include the following: Ugliest House of 2020 Most Over-the-Top House of the Year Most High-Profile Home Purchase Hardest House to Sell We also couldn't wrap up 2020 without discussing the coronavirus pandemic and how we stayed at home for the majority of the year. Rachel and Natalie love their apartments, but the past nine months would have been a whole lot sweeter had we been holed up in luxury properties. So which homes captured our hearts? Natalie's pick is a "starter home" for millennial A-listers, and Rachel's choice is a "resort-style" estate with a nine-figure value. Press that Play button to hear more! And, of course, we crowned the supreme celebrity real estate winner and losers (yes, two losers) of 2020. Our winner is a rock star who masterfully bought and sold pricey property on the same day. And our losers found home in a number of places this year—whether it be an estate in Bel-Air, their prison cells, or a new mansion in Hidden Hills, CA. Thanks for sticking with us through the ups and downs of this year, and we look forward to more housing-related pop culture banter in 2021. Cheers! Want more “House Party”?

Natalie and Rachel offer up their respective thoughts on the doc (was it an HBO miss?) and discuss what will happen to the homes where the cult enslaved, brainwashed, and branded dozens of women.

Now, MTV International is rebooting the iconic show, and promises to take us inside the homes of  such celebrities as Caitlyn Jenner, Nickelodeon personality and singer JoJo Siwa, former “Glee” star Kevin McHale, and the British singer Stefflon Don. We reminisce about the "Cribs" days of yore (check out this bizarre tour of Lil Wayne's home at 17:25) and discuss whether bringing it back is the right move. 

    Other segments this week:

    • We do a deep dive on HBO's "The Vow," the nine-part documentary that gives an inside look at the twisted "sex cult" called NXIVM and its leader, Keith Raniere.

    ]]>     2342 no     75. Is Bradley Cooper Secretly Living in This Sleepy Suburb? Plus, the Unassuming House With 9 Jail Cells In terms of crazy real estate listings, we thought we'd seen it all. From hobbit houses to converted churches, we have been privy to some truly baffling properties. But the latest house to make us go "huh?" is a former sheriff's home in Fayette, MO. The two-bedroom, 2,465-square-feet home was on the market (but has since been pulled off the market) for $350,000. Listing photos 1 to 32 depict a perfectly modest midwestern place, but once you reach photo 33 things start to get a little bizarre. It is revealed that the home is attached to nine jail cells!Once this strange (and slightly disturbing-looking) property went viral, we knew we had to get the inside scoop. Why does a fully functional jail exist on this property? What use does a homeowner have for this unique amenity? We answer these questions and more on this episode of "House Party."

    ]]>     1969 no     74. Viola Davis’ Real Estate Snafu, and How the Internet Got This Story So, So Wrong Leave it to the incomparable Viola Davis to cause quite the internet kerfuffle. Last week, on her birthday, the Oscar winner tweeted a photo of the ramshackle home she grew up in, along with text that read, "The above is the house where I was born August 11, 1965. It is the birthplace of my story. Today on my 55th year of life....I own it....all of it." The internet went wild for this powerful story of Davis reclaiming her childhood home. Except none of it was true. We set the record straight on this week's episode—but how did news outlets get it so very wrong? Other topics we discuss in this episode: The last remaining Blockbuster video store (in Bend, OR) is being rented out on Airbnb. If you could spend the night in this nostalgia palace, which '90s movies would you watch? We rank our top rewatchables. You'd have to be living under a rock to not have heard about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's home purchase in Santa Barbara, CA. But was it really that surprising? Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are also reportedly house shopping in Santa Barbara, looking at massive estates where they can make room for baby.

    ]]>     1934 no     69. We Went Inside 'The Golden Girls' House; Screech's Sad Home Sale Saga; Demi Moore's Astoundingly Ugly Bathroom Office Thank you for being a friend! One of the buzziest real estate stories of the summer happened last week when the iconic "Golden Girls" house landed on the market for $3 million.

But when one lands on the market, curiosity gets the better of us and we have to know the full story.

They divulged all the intimate details about their secret space, their motivation for moving, and their ultimate dream of hosting a home renovation show with an emphasis on building BDSM dungeons in homes all around the country. The proposed title? "Working In the Kinks."

How To Save Cash During Coronavirus; An Intro to Quibi's "Murder House Flip"; Inside Drake's Cover-Worthy Apartment For those of us fortunate enough to still be collecting a paycheck, being in quarantine might seem like an optimal time to save some dough. After all, we’re not commuting, or dropping wads of cash at restaurants or on exotic vacations. But as some spending areas decrease during self-isolation, others can creep up. None of us planned for the increased utility bills from staying home all day, or the extra fees and tips that come with getting everything delivered. How can you make smart financial decisions in the middle of a pandemic? This week we had the opportunity to talk with Bola Sokunbi, host of the “Clever Girls Know” podcast, about how to budget during this time—whether you’re just trying to keep your monthly costs in check or you’re saving for something big, like a home. Tune in to hear our conversation. Other topics we cover: New streaming platform Quibi just launched—and with it, a brand-new reality show called “Murder House Flip.” The three of us watched, and offer up a brutally honest review. (Spoiler: This is not the content Erik came here for.) Speaking of streaming sensations, we’re still talking about Netflix’s “Tiger King.” In fact, we’re so obsessed with Joe Exotic that we went looking for listings that feature their very own zoo.

    ]]>     1914 no     38. Obama Buys a Vacation Home—The Scoop on His $14.8M Fixer Upper; Would You Rent "The Conjuring" House? It's one of the biggest real estate stories of the year: Barack and Michelle Obama are in the process of buying an estate on Martha's Vineyard. After years of vacationing on the island as renters, they finally found a property they'd like to make their own—and it's a bonafide fixer upper. Don't believe us? Take a look at the listing photos! The 7,000-square-foot estate has good bones, and the architecture is typical of a New England seaside estate (white coffered ceilings, expansive windows, exterior shingles, etc.).
