Real estate habits of the rich and famous

This weekend, the NYT weighed in on how celebrities buy (and sell) real estate:

Actors and actresses are more likely to venture out alone or with one or two companions, whereas music-industry types often travel with retinues of one or more personal assistants, friends, a decorator, a spiritual adviser or feng shui consultant, and a gunslinging bodyguard or two. Though groupie deference usually prevails, one naysayer can nix a property.

Also, some celebrities demand private tours, while some go to open houses– just like us!

Meanwhile, when is someone going to superimpose a celebrity home map onto Zillow? I, for one, would like to watch celebrity home values fluctuate.
