Here’s the story, of a man named Lance Bass who lost a bid on the Brady Bunch house.
One day after tweeting that his offer to purchase the iconic TV home had been accepted, the singer announced another he will not be getting the property.
The former NSYNC member posted a lengthy statement on Instagram, “Marcia Marcia Marcia!”
“I’m feeling heartbroken today,” he added. “As many of you may have heard, we placed the winning bid on the iconic Brady Bunch house — at least that’s what we were told.”
Continuing, he wrote that “the agent representing the estate informed us we made the winning bid (which was WAY over the asking price) after the final deadline for all offers had passed — even writing up the ‘winning bid’ for my team after informing me of the good news.”
“This was a dream come true for me and I spent the night celebrating amongst friends, family, and fans alike,”
“The next day, due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’ the same agent informed us that there’s another Corporate Buyer (Hollywood studio) who wants the house at any cost,”
“We were prepared to go even higher,” they were “totally discouraged” from doing so, and were told that the new buyer would “outperform any bid with unlimited resources.”
“How is this fair or legal?? How can I compete with a billion dollar corporate entity?” he asked. “I truly believe I was used to drive up the price of the home knowing very well that this corporation intended on making their offer and it’s not a good feeling.”
“I feel used but most importantly I’m hurt and saddened by this highly questionable outcome. I just hope it is not demolished. Thanks for all the love and support,” he wrote.
Located at 11222 Dilling Street in Studio City, California, the high profile house was listed on the market in mid-July for $1.88 million.
The recognisable residence was used to shoot the opening and closing scenes of the hit series for five seasons from 1969 to 1974.
The Brady Bunch house is reportedly the second most photographed house in the U.S. after the White House.
