HGTV Puts ‘Brady Bunch’ House On the Market for $5.5 Million

Woah never thought the house would be renovated into this.

I remember back when this house last sold in 2018, Lance Bass of NSYNC was angry as he was told he had the winning bid to buy the former Brady Bunch House, that he'd outbid everyone else and the deadline had passed, when a "corporate buyer" stepped forward and said they wanted that house "at any cost" and had almost unlimited financial resources to outbid anyone. That corporate buyer, of course, turned out to be HGTV. They featured it on a program where they invited all 6 of the actors who played the children on The Brady Bunch to join them for a weeks-long series of programs where they'd work with HGTV "stars" to renovate the house, which was only used for exterior shots, to make the interior look like the one everyone knew from the show, as the interior of this house originally looked much different and had a very different layout than was featured on the show. Back then, less than 5 years ago, it was listed for $1.9M. The link below is the story in 2018 about HGTV getting the property. For some reason the link doesn't want to display here on RD.

HGTV Sells ‘Brady Bunch’ House to Superfan Who Called it the ‘Worst Investment Ever’​

HGTV Sells ‘Brady Bunch’ House to Superfan Who Called it the ‘Worst Investment Ever’

The new owner of the 'Brady Bunch' home says the HGTV network paid too much money when it purchased the property because it didn't have modern appliances.

Trahan, 53, who lives primarily in Bel Air and admits to being a fan of the sitcom, paid $3.2 million for the house located in Studio City, Los Angeles, which is about 9 percent less than HGTV paid for the home in 2018.
Even at the bargain price, Trahan admitted the purchase was “the worst investment ever” and said she plans to use the property for fundraising and charitable events.

Trahan, who has been married to former HBO chief executive Chris Albrecht since 2016, claims to be a historic home enthusiast and fan of The Brady Bunch sitcom and 1995’s The Brady Bunch Movie.
HGTV listed the house for sale in May for $5.5 million.
The network bought the home In 2018, (famously outbidding Lance Bass) for $3.5 million, almost double the listing price. The iconic facade was used for exterior shots on the sitcom, but its interior scenes had been filmed on a soundstage, so the inside of the real house didn't match what viewers remember. A slew of HGTV stars and the six actors who played the Brady kids in the series completely renovated the interiors of the home on the series A Very Brady Renovation.

While WSJ reports that HGTV spent about $2 million renovating the home to resemble The Brady Bunch interior set, initially the plan was to upgrade the home to the tune of $350,000
