House Party

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.

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. Want the inside scoop on these luxury homes? Listen to our latest episode in the player above!

Welcome back to the show!

This week, we continue our recap of "Selling the OC" with episode three titled "Testing the Waters". The agents at the Oppenheim Group hustle to get listings and find buyers for a variety of properties including a hillside Laguna Beach, CA, home, a 6,000-square-foot mansion in Irvine, CA, and a $21-million Dana Point, CA, estate. But the drama really heats up when the agents hit the beach, pop some champagne, and reveal their true feelings for each other.

Then, Natalie and Rachel Stults chat with Andrew Tyree, host of the show "Beyond the Block" on Tastemade, and Joey Lucas, "Beyond the Block" showrunner. The show is currently in its third season, and Andrew and Joey stop by "House Party" to give us the scoop on what it's like producing a TV show that's "part travel, part real estate." Each episode, Andrew guides homebuyers through potential neighborhoods in cities all around the country so they can find not only their dream house but also their dream locale.

We were pretty shocked to hear that Chip and Joanna Gaines had never won an Emmy for their juggernaut renovation show "Fixer Upper." Since the duo were never producers on that show, though, they were never eligible.
But now, as owners of Magnolia Network and executive producers of "Fixer Upper: Welcome Home," Chip and Jo have the opportunity to win gold. Last week, we learned that "Fixer Upper: Welcome Home" was nominated for Outstanding Structured Reality Program. The Emmys are scheduled for September 12, and we'll be waiting with bated breath to see if they come out on top.
In other reality TV news, Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa announced they're having a baby. And one team reigned supreme on the season finale of "Battle on the Beach." Which team and mentor were victorious? We cover it all on this episode of "House Party."

Netflix’s series “How To Build a Sex Room” doesn’t require viewers to guess about its subject matter. It’s all there in the title!
Throughout the years, we’ve seen more homeowners construct sex rooms and BDSM basements inside their homes, but this is the first time this trend has been packaged in the form of a renovation reality show.
So we jumped at the chance to sit down with luxury interior designer and series host Melanie Rose, aka the “Mary Poppins” of sex rooms, to learn more about her racy new show and the work she does. It turns out, there’s a lot more to her job than simply working whips and chains into home decor.
Then, we continue our recap of season two of "Battle on the Beach". This week, teams take on the guest bedroom and bathroom.
