Different agent, different house. Same schtick, same success. It’s summer, so a popular sequel makes sense. America loves sequels!
A few weeks back, the web almost broke over the image of a real estate agent dressed as a dinosaur to market a modest lakefront home in Texas. Now, the stunt has been copied by an enterprising agent in Omaha.
The result? The agent’s T. rex costume drew a ton of clicks to the listing for a remodeled ranch. We’re guessing the publicity will spur a quick sale of the $189,000 home.
This week’s runner-up is a home from Season 1 of “Fixer Upper.” If you’re looking for a touch of HGTV magic, you could snap up this Texas ranch featuring many of the signature looks that transformed Chip and Joanna Gaines into nationwide sensations.
Other homes attracting your attention this week included a midcentury marvel in Southern California, a massive castle in Texas, and the “Brady Bunch” house, which was purchased by the good folks at HGTV this week.
This means Lance Bass will have to turn his attention to the other properties that are this week’s most popular homes.

4. 11222 Dilling St, Studio City, CAPrice: $1,885,000 (pending sale)
Why it’s here: Although Lance Bass thought he had the winning bid on the “Brady Bunch” house, it was not to be. HGTV swooped in at the last minute and outbid him. The former boy bander even took to social media to complain the process had used him to drive up the price. However, there might be a happy ending—Bass and HGTV mended fences and he may have a hand in the home’s renovation.

It features floor-to-ceiling windows, 14-foot ceilings, and views of the ocean and coastline. The list price is only a suggestion, as the seller will consider all offers between $10 million and $13 million.

1. 9636 Emmet St, Omaha, NEPrice: $189,000
Why it’s here: It looks like a real estate agent dressed as a dinosaur wasn’t a crazy idea after all. Just like the Texas lake house that featured a T. Rex, this Midwest ranch is shown with a prehistoric creature of its own.
“I saw someone do this a couple of years ago and thought it was hilarious,” says Bambi Case, the listing agent and woman in the dinosaur suit. “This home was a typical ranch that had a massive addition added, so I knew it needed more traffic to get people in to see how different it is compared to other homes. Once I brought up the idea to the seller, she insisted we do it!”
Case says the costume worked. “I have had a lot of additional traffic on this home. It was so much fun to run around, taking professional photos! I will do it again,” she adds.
We’ll see if this dino-mite trend has legs, and returns for another sequel!
