The nearly decade-old reality TV show “Pawn Stars” might seem like yesterday’s news, but don’t cash in that ticket just yet: The home of one of the History Channel show’s headliners is the most popular listing this week on realtor.com®.
“One reason this home is so popular is because it’s Chumlee’s,” listing agent Kyle Gluhm says of the Las Vegas spread belonging to the reality TV star who works behind the counter on “Pawn Stars.”
Built in 1981, the residence was in serious need of a refresh, according to Gluhm. Chumlee, whose real name is Austin Russell, got to work renovating the property inside and out.
“Ever since he lived in it, that’s what he’s been doing,” says Gluhm, who sold Chumlee the property in 2012.
And he isn’t the only reality TV star cracking this week’s list of most popular homes. Comedian Kathy Griffin has put her Hollywood Hills estate back on the market with a price cut. The distinctive manse was often featured on her show, “My Life on the D-List,” and has since attracted plenty of looky-loos.
This week’s third-place finisher—a Michigan mansion—caught our eye with its long list of amenities, including a theater, game room, bowling alley, pool, and custom-car garage.
In the second spot is a former hotel in Florida that still has an eye-popping 17 bedrooms.
We won’t ask if you want turn-down service, but we will ask you to scroll down to see the full list of this week’s most popular properties.
