In 2020, many of us are going all-in on holiday decorations as a way to keep spirits bright at the tail end of a dark and dreary year. And we remain firmly on the side of anyone who wants to make their living space a unique reflection of who they are.
And this week’s most popular home on realtor.com® ticks both of those boxes in a big way.
The stately New Jersey home on the market for $2.2 million features a must-see collection of Christmas decor. The two-story foyer serves as the holiday showstopper: It’s filled from floor to ceiling with stockings, statues, tinsel, trees, garlands, and wreaths—all guarded (of course) by a pair of life-size wooden nutcrackers.
The whole house is out of this world and, yes, the decor remains in place year-round.
You also clicked on a stylish “barndominium” in Texas, a sleek glass house in a forest in Illinois, and a brand-new home in Laurel, MS—the filming location of HGTV’s popular “Home Town.” It’s another sign the show is responsible for sparking a real estate revolution in an unlikely locale.
For a full look at this week’s 10 most popular homes, simply scroll on down.

Each bedroom has a holiday theme, and the kitchen also cooks up some serious Christmas vibes. You’ll see trees (plural), life-size nutcrackers, dozens of wreaths, bows, and bric-a-brac that must have taken a lifetime to collect. It’s very merry—and a little bit scary?
