Beach Day Drama on ‘Selling the OC’ and the Coolest U.S. Cities With ‘Beyond the Block’ Host Andrew Tyree

“House Party” is the official Realtor.com® podcast about the overlapping worlds of home and pop culture, hosted by Rachel Stults and Natalie Way. Click the player above to hear our take on this week’s hot topics.

This week, we continue our recap of “Selling the OC” with Episode 3, “Testing the Waters.” The agents at the Oppenheim Group hustle to get listings and find buyers for a variety of SoCal properties, including a hillside home in Laguna Beach, a 6,000-square-foot mansion in Irvine, and a $21 million estate in Dana Point. But the drama really heats up when the agents hit the beach, pop some Champagne, and reveal their true feelings for one another.

Then, we chat with Andrew Tyree, host of “Beyond the Block” on Tastemade, and Joey Lucas, the showrunner. The show is currently in its third season, and Tyree and Lucas stop by “House Party” to give us the scoop on what it’s like producing a TV show that’s “part travel, part real estate.” Each episode, Tyree guides homebuyers through potential neighborhoods in cities across the country so they can find not only their dream house but also their dream locale.
