The week's biggest real estate stories: Chris Pratt, Chrissy Teigen, Elin Nordegren and more
| | | | This week's top real estate headlines In a rather odd turn of events, reality competition tycoon Simon Cowell bought, then listed his protégé Leona Lewis' Hidden Hills equestrian estate — at a loss. Cowell bought the Scandinavian-influenced home in an off-market deal for $3.9 million and currently has a $3.7 million price tag on the property.
