Which Celebrity’s Home Tops This Week’s Most Popular Listings?

We tallied up the clicks on realtor.com® this week and weren’t shocked to see a celebrity home at the very top of the list. It belongs to a man with serious ties.

Family Ties, you might say.

The Connecticut getaway of actor Michael J. Fox topped our weekly look at the most popular homes in the country. Situated on over 87 acres of land, the home itself isn’t ostentatious. It’s a classic farmhouse with unbeatable views of natural beauty—the greenery of Northern Connecticut is gorgeous. Tucked away on the border of New York, the prime property comes with a private pond, horse barn, and cozy guesthouse. All that for just $4.25 million. Time-traveling DeLorean not included.

Beyond the star power of the man who will forever be Marty McFly (at least to us!), you were also compelled to click on a megamansion in Hidden Hills, a renovated Massachusetts home near the water, and an enticing 20-acre opportunity in Big Sky Country.

We won’t ask you to go back to the future, honest. We only ask that you simply scroll down and peruse this week’s most popular homes.

10. 194 Aviation Rd SE, Marietta, GA

Price: $135,000
Why it’s here: This cute two-bedroom starter home just north of Atlanta was sold seven months ago for $55,000. Back on the market after a top-to-bottom renovation, it’s still an affordable purchase for a first-time buyer looking for a sweet deal.

9. 1827 Belvedere Ave, Charlotte, NC

Price: $869,000
Why it’s here: Already in pending status after just a week on the market, this classic bungalow is located in a “desirable neighborhood,” according to listing agent Ken Riel. The four-bedroom home has the ever-enticing blend of “a lot of charm, but with the current updates buyers want,” according to Riel.

8. 14 F St, Hull, MA

Price: $419,000
Why it’s here: This thoroughly renovated home faces the waters of Hull Bay and is only a short ferry ride to Boston. Listing agent Danielle Hoelschen told us she’s received nothing but positive feedback about the “basically new” three-bedroom house. The price of the home was just reduced by $15,000, putting it in a sweet spot for buyers looking for a seasonal getaway or a year-round residence. The agent said a home like this one could rent for upward of $3,000 a month during the peak season.

7. 8371 Pine Mountain Rd, Springville, AL

Price: $275,000
Why it’s here: North of Birmingham, this 8-acre mountaintop spread is in need of a little TLC. Repairs aside, we’re most interested in the custom-built safe room in the barn.

6. 5435 Coliseum St, New Orleans, LA

Price: $469,000
Why it’s here: Another week, another appearance for New Orleans. However, this quaint home doesn’t have the city’s signature shotgun-style layout. This quaint Victorian is right on the edge of the hot Audubon neighborhood and offers oodles of vintage charm. Perhaps that’s why it’s already in pending status after less than two weeks on the market.

5. 1706 Harney Rd, Littlestown, PA

Price: $374,900
Why it’s here: Listing agent Jay Schmitt told us the size and large lot contributed to this classic brick home’s popularity. However, Schmitt said the largest enticement is that it’s right on the border of Maryland and Pennsylvania—and folks prefer paying Pennsylvania taxes. He added the location is essentially rural and offers a nice cushion from neighbors, but it’s not far from the metropolises of Maryland. A perfect city-country balance means Schmitt has already fielded offers on the home.

4. Undisclosed address, Festus, MO

Price: $349,900
Why it’s here: It’s a cave! Last week’s winner slid three spots to the fourth position. If you buy this fascinating cave dwelling, we need to hear from you ASAP. Deal?

3. 15915 Heather Ln, Shepherd, MT

Price: $210,000
Why it’s here: We don’t find many entries from Montana cracking our top 10, so this affordable four-bedroom home was a welcome surprise. With over 2,000 square feet of living space plus an additional 20 acres of land, it’s ultra-affordable if you’re willing to brave the winters here.

2. 25220 Walker Rd, Hidden Hills, CA

Price: $16,500,000
Why it’s here: This megamansion in prime Kardashian Kountry has been on and off the market since 2013. Done in a French Normandy style, the eight-bedroom estate belongs to hedge funder Jeffrey Feinberg. In 2015, his wife, Stacey Feinberg, told Calabasas Style magazine her favorite room in the enormous house is the huge home gym.

1. 18 Knibloe Hill Rd, Sharon, CT

Price: $4,250,000
Why it’s here: It’s Michael J. Fox‘s home! Fans were eager to see the inside of this Connecticut farmhouse, listed on the final day of August. The actor’s spread includes 87 acres with a horse barn and private pond.
