  • 50. How Coronavirus is Affecting U.S. Real Estate; An Honest Rant on She Sheds and Man Caves

    For our 50th episode (!!!) our colleague Clare Trapasso, realtor.com's deputy news editor, breaks down how even the US housing market is starting to be affected by the coronavirus. We reveal our true feelings (and don't hold back) about "she sheds" and "man caves." Also, we introduce our new segment, "The Mailbox," in which we read and answer listener letters from our inbox. And a Valentine's Day-appropriate discussion on Jack and Jill sinks (are they really worth it?). All this and, of course, our weekly real estate winners and losers, on a milestone episode of "House Party."

  • 49. Lori Loughlin Lists LA Mansion for $28.6M; 'Haunted' Whispers Estate in Indiana is a Screaming Bargain

    What's the real reason Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli listed their Bel-Air mansion? What should you do when your real estate agent shows you a bunch of listings that miss the mark? Would you buy a $130,000 home even if it came with ghosts? These are just some of the questions we answer on this week's episode of House Party.

  • 48. The Truth Behind a Creepy Baltimore Foreclosure; Smartest (& Dumbest) Remodeling Projects; Dispatch From Design & Construction Week in Las Vegas

    Rachel gives us a rundown of the good, the bad, and the ugly home trends she saw at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas. We discuss the bizarre—and possibly scandalous—history of an historical row house in Baltimore with what looks to be an indoor pool built in the center. We also go over the list of remodeling projects that'll give you the best—and worst—return on your investment. Slight spoiler: 9 out of 10 of them are outdoor upgrades. And, as always, we choose our real estate winner and loser of the week.

  • 47. Why Can't Poor Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari Sell Their Nashville Home? Plus, Yankee Candle's Scent of the Year

    House Party regulars know that we've explored the design world's obsession with "colors of the year," but we recently caught wind of (what we believe to be) the first scent of the year and, naturally, we had to discuss. Yankee Candle recently released "Awaken," a candle that's supposed to provide "a bright vision for the New Year with a sparkling fragrance of unique mineral and soft wood notes." That all sounds great, but it raises the question: Would you buy a candle for your home without smelling it first?" Does the "... of the year" strategy only work if it's something like colors that you can see right away? We ponder these questions, and chat about our own candle fragrance likes and dislikes, on this week's episode.
    Other topics we cover include:

    • Two new decommissioned missile silos that are currently being sold as residential properties. Would you live 35 feet underground?
    • Home design trends that are falling out of style
    • This week's winners and losers—with a never-before-heard twist!

      Happy 2020! On this week's episode Erik, Natalie, and Rachel discuss:

      • The buzzy and controversial "grandmillennial" interior design style
      • The decor—previously described as "Tim Burton threw up on a canvas"—inside Dr. Phil's Beverly Hills home
      • The energy-saving practices many of us do around the home that may actually be doing more harm than good

      • 44. Controversy Over the Instant Pot; Marie Kondo Now Wants You to Buy More Stuff—Specifically, Her Stuff

        When the Instant Pot came on the scene a few years ago, it was the hot kitchen appliance everyone had to have. Since then, the over-hyped pressure cooker has fallen out of favor with some people who say that its cons vastly outweigh its pros. We give our honest opinions on the Instant Pot and whether it's actually as life-changing as it's said to be.

        This week, we also discuss:

        • The most ridiculous items on Marie Kondo's new e-commerce site. Yes, the next branch of the decluttering queen's brand is an online shop where you can buy stuff—most of which will not help you get organized.
        • A puzzling real estate listing featuring an open-concept bathroom. We get that open-concept kitchens are popular, but a bathroom with a lack of walls or doors might not be everyone's cup of tea.
        • Joe Pesci's New Jersey home which is on sale and, in the words of Rachel, "fugly."

          • Plus, this week's celebrity winners and losers.

        • 43. Kim & Kanye Buy Yet Another House in LA; Antonio Brown's Sad Real Estate Saga; What Your Front Door Color Says About You

          Here on House Party we tend to talk about members of the Kardashian-West-Jenner family on a semi-regular basis for the simple fact that they are constantly making real estate moves. Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't deny that they've amassed quite a property portfolio. Well, the time has come, once again, to discuss the latest house to be scooped up by none other than Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West. This week we learned that they purchased the ranch-style home right next door to their $20-million behemoth of a home in Hidden Hills, CA. This now brings their parcel of land up to an impressive 8 acres. How much did they pay? Are they slowly amassing a compound by buying up all the property around them a la rapper Drake? What about this property caught their eye? We answer all these questions and more on this week's episode.

          We also dive deep into football player Antonio Brown's real estate portfolio in an attempt to get to the bottom of why he put his two mansions up for sale just one day apart.

          And we discuss what each exterior door color might indicate about a homeowner, according to a psychologist.

          Plus, this week's celebrity winners and losers.

          • 41. The Surprise in Property Brother Drew Scott's Bedroom; Most Profitable Home Remodeling Projects

            They (who are "they," anyway?!) say you should never paint your bedroom walls black, however, Drew Scott of HGTV's "Property Brothers" decided to go against the grain in his newly remodeled home and prove that black can be relaxing.

            Other topics we cover:

            • Sitcom houses HGTV stars should remake next
            • Bunk beds are renting for $1,000
