Who we are


FancyPantsHomes.com is a luxury home & property news site that covers luxury listings, record-breaking sales, celebrity homes, and mansions with a pop culture twist. To put it simply: we write about the world’s most extraordinary homes – both real and fictional.

Our mission is to provide a respite from a world full of disturbing headlines and instigating topics through entertaining stories and awe-inspiring homes.

That’s because the word ‘home’ is one meant to bring joy to our hearts, and represents one of the few things all of us have in common, regardless of where we’re from and what we’ve achieved in life.

We all dream about that perfect place to call home. And sometimes, we dare to dream beyond our means. Our hope is that we will help you find all the inspiration you need to dream big and the picture-perfect homes to fill up your vision boards.

With a focus on celebrity homes, luxury estates with fabulous interiors, and the occasional walk down memory lane to revisit iconic TV or movie homes, we brought together home enthusiasts from all over North America.


How it all started


We first started out in 2016, occasionally penning articles on architecturally distinct properties and out-of-the-ordinary listings. Starting from a central premise that “every home has a story”, we forged forward, trying our best to tell each story right.

But what started as an after-work hobby would soon turn into a thriving online business, our articles now attracting millions of impressions each month.

With its real estate pieces, celebrity features, and in-depth coverage of some of the most famous homes in pop culture, Fancy Pants Homes is now one of the leading independent property news blogs — with no affiliation to a particular brokerage or publishing company — often featured by the biggest online publications including MSN.com, Business Insider, VICE, Buzzfeed News, or The Sun, as well as industry leaders like Redfin or Realtor.com.
