After 'The Brady Bunch' house sold to a megafan for $3.2 million, she created a sweepstakes to let fans win tours inside— take a look.
HGTV, which purchased the home for $3.5 million in 2018, had to settle for a figure that was $2.3 million less than its initial listing and about 9% less than what it originally paid for the home, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Built in 1959, the two-story home in the Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles measures 5,140 square feet and is the embodiment of midcentury modern style. It was rebuilt to replicate the set of the TV show, the listing said.
The buyer, Tina Trahan, told the Journal she was a fan of the show but didn't plan to live in the house — she said she wanted to use it for fundraising and charity events.
Then, in partnership with the nonprofit No Kid Hungry, Trahan launched The Brady Experience, a sweepstakes in which participants can donate money for the chance to tour the house and eat brunch with a members of the original show's cast.
Dallas, Georgia, resident Sue Myers grew up watching the Brady Bunch, and even passed that tradition on to her son.
"I was the huge 'Brady' fan — I'm obviously a kid of the seventies and grew up during that time, and the Brady Bunch was on after school every day," Myers told Business Insider. "What's fun is that when becoming a parent, I've got a 24-year-old son, and so I raised him on it as well."
Myers heard about the sweepstakes from a friend who knew she was a big fan, and she ended up winning an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles to check out the home with her son.
She went on a tour led by cast members Christopher Knight and Barry Williams, and had a brunch at the home.
The renovation, which was highlighted on the TV series " A Very Brady Renovation," was flawless according to Myers.
"It was so exact," she said. "It was one of those things where it was a weird feeling because when we came in, it was amazing to be there and then to see something that was so familiar to you, but in a place you've never been."
Trahan told the Journal in 2023 that the house was "the worst investment ever," but has since clarified those comments, telling People that she views the home as a piece of art.
"When I was buying it, I wasn't thinking, 'Oh, it was a great investment,'" Trahan told People in 2023. "When I buy art, it's because I love the art. It's not because, 'Oh, I'm going to make money on this.' If you're going to make money in art, you have to sell it. I buy art, and then I don't sell it."
The first Brady Experience sweepstakes was such a success that Trahan is opening it up for another round. Trahan could not be reached for comment.
Here's a look around the iconic property.
Sometimes the Bradys are home. "Christopher Knight and Barry Williams, who play Greg and Peter on the show, answered the door, so that was fun," Myers said. "It was actually like walking up to the Brady House and knocking on the door, and the Bradys are there."
The interior was renovated by HGTV.
Myers was able to recreate the iconic shot on the stairs with a few cast members. Eve Plumb, who played Jan on the show, also stopped by for a surprise visit.
This living room was where we would see most of the cast congregate.
All of the bedrooms are staged just as they were on the show.
Even the backyard is a replica of the show.
Tina Trahan, the house's owner, doesn't live inside but instead uses it for charitable events. Trahan, a self-proclaimed "Brady Bunch" fan told The Wall Street Journal that she felt the property was overpriced. "Nobody is going to live in it," she said. "Anything you might do to make the house livable would take away from what I consider artwork."

Witnesses alleged to TMZ, who was the first to report the news, that they saw El Moussa, 43, deliver a knee to the man's head, which knocked him out cold. An onlooker claimed to the outlet the incident was 'bad,' adding that the guy looked seriously hurt. The alleged victim reportedly refused medical attention.

Tarek El Moussa Gets Public Show of Support From Wife Heather and Ex Christina Haack After Las Vegas Battery Incident
HGTV star Tarek El Moussa made a very poignant return to social media in the hours after he was involved in a physical fight in Las Vegas—sharing an emotional tribute to his teenage daughter, Taylor, in a joint post with his wife, Heather, and his former spouse, Christina Haack. The heartwarming post, featured a sweet image of the three 'Flip Off' stars posing alongside Taylor, 14—whom Tarek, 43, shares with Haack—as well as the former couple's second child, Brayden, 9. In the caption, the El Moussas and Haack urged the the teenager to learn from their past 'mistakes,' noting that they hope their own struggles help to lead her to a 'brighter future.' 'Taylor we are so proud of you and so excited for you to head into the next stage of your life. Our beautiful, smart, incredible, bright light we all love and adore you,' it read. 'We hope all the mistakes you've watched us make throughout your life help to guide you to a brighter future…. love you baby. High school here we come!' The post was shared just hours after it was reported that Tarek, who divorced Haack in 2018 and went on to wed Heather in 2021, had been involved in a physical altercation inside a Las Vegas resort. According to E! News, Tarek received a citation for battery after he was involved in the June 5 incident, which unnamed sources told the outlet had come about because the HGTV star was 'protecting his elderly father.' 'On June 5, 2025, LVMPD officers responded to a battery incident in the 3300 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard,' the local police department said in a statement. 'Two males were involved in a physical altercation resulting in one being cited.' It's understood that Heather, 37, was with her husband at the time of the incident, but that she played no role in the altercation, per TMZ. Tarek has yet to issue a statement about the incident; however, has contacted his spokesperson for comment. The joint post that the home-flipping pro shared is the latest indication of the strengthening bond between Tarek and his former spouse, Haack—whose relationship faced a very rocky patch after their acrimonious divorce and subsequent custody battle. However, after the duo signed on to appear together in their latest HGTV project, 'The Flip Off,' they went through a very public on-screen reconciliation, with Tarek offering his ex a great deal of support amid her breakup from Josh Hall. Haack and Hall's split came shortly after filming on the show had begun and was documented in great detail throughout the series, which was originally meant to feature the couple going head to head in a renovation battle against Haack and Tarek. However, after Haack and Hall announced that they had separated in July 2024, the latter was removed from the show. In the first episode, Haack was seen asking Tarek to come over to her Newport Beach, CA, house so she could speak 'in private,' before telling him that she and Hall had 'officially split up.' 'Things with Josh have been bad for a long time. Not just kind of bad. Like, bad,' she told him. 'And the kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he's not nice to me.' Weeks after the show began airing, Heather spoke exclusively to about the 'struggles' that she and Tarek had seen Haack and Hall going through, admitting that 'we kind of knew something was coming.' 'You definitely see some tension between them on camera and I would say like, after he left the show, [Christina] was much lighter. It seemed like she was happier and it made the show a lot more fun,' Heather explained. 'Whereas when he was involved, there was a lot more smack talking; and I know that she wasn't enjoying filming with him.' She went on to voice her support for Haack's new beau, Christopher Larocca, revealing that she and Tarek had already been on several double dates with the couple. 'We've gone to dinner with them a couple of times, and he's come to some kid things, and I'd say, so far I like him. I have nothing negative to say about him, and she seems happy,' Heather shared.
