A Swingin’ ’60s Time Capsule in Jersey Is This Week’s Most Popular Home

Let’s do the time warp again as we count down the most popular homes on realtor.com®!

A stunningly well-preserved and utterly shagadelic 1960s home in New Jersey attracted seven times as many clicks as our runner-up this week—it racked up views unlike anything we’ve seen thus far in 2017.

And in the case of this vibrantly decorated home, viral interest did translate into a quick sale. On the market for less than a week, the place attracted multiple offers and sold before the listing agent even had a chance to hold an open house. Words can’t fully describe the wild decor of this artifact from another era, so we advise you to check the listing for yourself.

Other intriguing homes also spurred click activity this week. There’s a sweet Victorian in Sioux Falls, a couple of lovable homes in Louisiana, and an Omaha home across the street from famed investor Warren Buffett.

While you ponder becoming buddies and hosting cookouts with the Oracle of Omaha, scroll down for this week’s full list of popular properties.

10. 22 Ronald C Meyer Dr, North Attleboro, MA

Price: $1,299,000
Why it’s here: The status of the home once owned by Aaron Hernandez is still the subject of speculation. This week a judge vacated the murder conviction of the former NFL star, who died last month in jail. Now technically considered not guilty because his appeal was never heard, Hernandez’s change in legal status means any proceeds from the eventual sale of his house are up in the air.

1. 29 Avon Rd, Springfield, NJ

Price: $499,999
Why it’s here: This amazing blast from the psychedelic past is already under contract, according to listing agent Lucas Wolf. But that doesn’t mean we can’t ogle the pictures of this stunning four-bedroom home built in 1963.

Wolf said he’s fielded calls from brokers, agents, and curious folks. Calling it “the coolest house I’ve ever been inside,” he said it received multiple offers and sold before he could even hold an open house.

The decor is dated,  but the home’s been “well-maintained,” he said. “The people who purchased the place are keeping some of it. Everything inside is perfect, and the interior of this place is truly pedal to the metal. It’s not halfway done.”

He said reactions to the decor were mixed, but buyers who appreciate a retro look were immediately enamored with the home.

“I knew it was going to sell quick,” Wolf said.
