https://ift.tt/uvlxd9w

Nearly every week, some home in the small town of Laurel, MS, manages to make its way onto our list of the most popular homes on Realtor.com®.

Fans of the hit HGTV show “Home Town” are perpetually looking at listings in Laurel in search of a perfect place to settle down and bask in the town’s languid pace. We have seen a decent amount of clicks on all the homes—even ones that haven’t been reimagined by Ben and Erin Napier—that come up for sale in the central Mississippi town.

This week, tens of thousands of clicks landed on a particular listing in Laurel: a Craftsman-style house on the market for $390,000 that was featured on the popular home renovation series in 2016.

Known as the Warren House from Season 1 of the show, the home made over by the Napiers easily strolled away with the title of the week’s most popular home.

In addition to this drab-to-fab makeover, you clicked on a quirky midcentury modern house in need of an update in Ohio, a late rock star’s hilltop Texas home, and a megamansion with a nine-digit price tag in Connecticut.
