38. Obama Buys a Vacation Home—The Scoop on His $14.8M Fixer Upper; Would You Rent "The Conjuring" House?

It's one of the biggest real estate stories of the year: Barack and Michelle Obama are in the process of buying an estate on Martha's Vineyard. After years of vacationing on the island as renters, they finally found a property they'd like to make their own—and it's a bonafide fixer upper. Don't believe us? Take a look at the listing photos! The 7,000-square-foot estate has good bones, and the architecture is typical of a New England seaside estate (white coffered ceilings, expansive windows, exterior shingles, etc.). Plus, it's on 29 acres of land, so there's plenty of room to build out their compound. But the decor is begging to be overhauled. This week on "House Party," we discuss the ins and outs of the former president's palatial new pad including its location on the island (it's not close to their beloved Chilmark) and whether or not it's actually worth the $14.8M price tag.

On this new episode we also cover:

• Lunar real estate (yes, we do mean buying property on the moon)
• The real-life haunting at 'The Conjuring' house
• Paint company Behr's color of the year
• This week's celebrity real estate winner and loser
