The Brady Bunch house sold for… |

A few weeks ago, The Brady Bunch house went on the market for $1,885,000. This week, it was revealed that HGTV is the new owner. Today, Us Weekly is reporting how much they spent on the iconic home.
Are you sitting down? They bought it for $3.5 million. Almost double what they were asking for. Not a bad deal for the old homeowner, who the magazine says, will be an executive producer on the renovation show of her grandparents’ old place.
Now that we know all the details about the sale, I want to know who is going to renovate it from HGTV’s huge lineup of stars. And how I can take a hammer to that brick fence.

Before Maureen McCormick played sweet Marcia on The Brady Bunch, she was a real witch on Bewitched. How bewitching was the 8-year-old in that 1964 episode?

HGTV’s Lottery Dream Home is the Brady Bunch House |

On Friday, Lance Bass told everyone he was the new owner of The Brady Bunch house, but then the next day we found out he was not. He said that there was a studio who outbid him and they are going to be the home’s new owner.
I thought the studio was Paramount because they own the classic sitcom and I was wrong. The new owners are HGTV and the realtor updated the listing so it says, “contract signed.”. This way we really know it belongs to the network.
According to Deadline, Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced the news on a conference call this morning. He said, “One of our projects for HGTV will speak to those Brady Bunch fans on the call. You may have heard that the house from the iconic series was recently on the market in California.” Then he added, “I’m excited to share that HGTV is the winning bidder and will restore the Brady Bunch home to its 1970s glory as only HGTV can. More detail to come over the next few months but we’ll bring all the resources to bear to tell safe, fun stories about this beloved piece of American TV history.”
HGTV’s own Johnathan Scott from Property Brothers was one of the bidders. No word if he will be part of the project/inevitable series, but I am sure he will be. At least he better be.
I know, I cannot wait to see what they do it. In fact, once the construction starts, I will be walking by the house all the time to see the progress. Their first task should be to tear down that fence!
When it comes to Lance Bass, I think HGTV owes him a show because they stole the iconic house from under him. Don’t you agree?

Lance Bass reveals that he did not get The Brady Bunch house |

It has been an emotional 24 hours for Lance Bass and Brady Bunch fans. On Friday night, he found out he had placed the winning bid for the iconic house, but then on Saturday, he was told he was outbid by a studio. I am assuming the studio is Paramount.
The singer was told by the real estate agent, Douglas Elliman, that no matter how much he bids that that studio will continue to one-up him. If I were Bass, then I would get all of his friends to contribute, This way that the deal becomes very costly for the studio. Heck, I will throw in a few bucks because I would love to tell the world that I am a part owner of The Brady Bunch House. I am sure I am not the only one. Every friend and family member I have taken there gets some joy from seeing it in person. It is a truly great experience.
Hopefully, whoever bought this house will take good care of it and tear down that fence. But we all know, the new owner will not love it as much as Bass would have loved it.
When it comes to the family, they never appreciated the house. They built a fence in front so that fans could not get too close. Then when Florence Henderson died, they kept removing the flowers that were left outside the makeshift memorial. Who does that? They are mean. They are as mean as school bully Buddy Hinton.

It’s a sunshine day because Lance Bass bought The Brady Bunch House! |

Last month, The Brady Bunch house went on sale for the first time since 1973, and we could not wait to find out who was going to buy it. A big reason why is because the new buyer could tear it down if they wanted to. You know if they were anti the Bradys like the people in those big screen adaptions, then down it would come.
Tuesday was the deadline to put an offer on the house and the winning bidder is…Lance Bass. He said he wants to make the inside match the house that we know so well; and now he will have that chance. We do not what he offered, but we do know he is, “Super excited to announce they accepted my offer on the #BradyBunch house last night!!! This is going to be a fun project!”
He is not the only one, Marcia, Marcia, Marcia aka Maureen McCormick tweeted, “Congratulations! ❤️❤️❤️ May all your problems from here on out always be solved in a half hour! 😉” Her TV brother Peter aka Christopher Knight, who has a furniture line, wrote, “Congratulations @LanceBass if you need some furniture let me know!” While Cousin Oliver aka Robbie Rist asked him to do one thing, “Treat it well.”
Another TV icon weighed in, Property Brothers’ Johnathon Silver Scott revealed, “I’m a little bummed that you out bid me (seriously) as I really wanted that house, but I’m very excited you’re taking on this project. Let me know if you want any help 🙂 @hgtv #bradybunchhome #IconicDreamHome”
The last time I walked by the house was the same day that Ann B. Davis died, but I did not know at the time. Then the last time I drove by was the day after Florence Henderson passed away. Now I cannot wait to go by to see the new life Bass gives the house.
While this neighbor (a mile is close enough to be one) is excited about this news. I am sure all the nearby neighbors in this quiet hidden area are not. They already have to deal with tons of people driving by when no one famous owned it. Imagine what is going to be like now that Bass is going make it time to change it back to what we grew up with.
The first thing he has to do is tear down that fence that the previous owner put up for privacy!
Congrats Lance, like Scott, anything you need just ask! I cannot wait to see what you do with it!
