Hey there, fellow nostalgia enthusiasts and architectural aficionados! Buckle up, because we've got some juicy real estate gossip that's hotter than Jan's jealousy towards Marcia. Brace yourselves for the shocking tale of the Brady Bunch house selling for less than its original purchase price. Holy avocado shag carpet, Batman!


So, you remember that iconic, sunshine-filled abode that housed the ultimate blended family, right? The one with the iconic floating staircase and rooms that were more colorful than Greg's psychedelic band posters? Well, turns out that the Brady Bunch house recently hit the market again after the HGTV re-do, and let's just say the buyers weren't shouting, "Pork chops and applesauce!" with joy. This is probably the only house in SoCal that didn't sell for way over the asking price.


Here's the lowdown on the groovy saga:


The Brady Bunch house, a slice of '70s perfection, hit the market with the hopes of fetching a hefty sum that would make even Mr. Brady's architect salary seem like pocket change. The real estate gods were, however, not feeling the love for this slice of nostalgia, and the house sold for less than its original purchase price. Cue the dramatic soap opera music!


Now, we're not saying it's the fault of the avocado-green appliances or the shagadelic carpeting. Perhaps the orange and green kitchen combo was just too much for today's minimalist sensibilities? Or maybe the potential buyers couldn't quite wrap their heads around the idea of a home with six kids and only one bathroom. It's a real head-scratcher, folks!


Picture this: the new owners walking through the house, debating whether to keep the iconic orange and brown floral wallpaper in the bathroom or channel their inner interior designer and go for a modern twist. Decisions, decisions!


But fear not, Brady enthusiasts! We've got some silver lining for you. The lucky buyers (or should we say the savvy deal-makers) managed to snag a piece of television history at a bargain. It's like finding a vintage polyester suit at a thrift store – it might not be trendy, but it's got character, baby!


So, in the end, whether you're Team Marcia or Team Jan, it's safe to say that the Brady Bunch house will forever remain a symbol of a bygone era. Who knows, maybe the new owners will start hosting groovy '70s-themed parties, complete with bell-bottoms and fondue fountains. The previous owners had big plans for this to be a luxury air b&b rental after the HGTV upgrade and it didn't quite work out. Maybe the new owners will get something going with 11222 Dilling Street in Studio City.


I could see "Adam The Woo" doing one of his cool YouTube video's from this place much like he did with the "Short Circuit" house. 

Or who knows....maybe a Mighty 690 shindig at the Brady house! Who could we invite to perform? Maybe Joe Namath could emcee.
