Let’s be honest—if you’ve ever binge-watched HGTV on a lazy Sunday, you’ve probably wondered: how many houses does David Bromstad actually own? The guy with the rainbow-tipped hair and the infectious laugh must have a real estate portfolio to match his flamboyant designs, right? Well, grab your coffee and settle in, because the answer is weirder, funnier, and way more surprising than you’d think.

The Short Answer (Spoiler: It’s Not a Million)

As of 2024, David Bromstad owns one primary residence—a modest (for a TV star) home in Los Angeles. That’s it. No sprawling mansion in Malibu, no secret beach house in the Hamptons, no “designer” condo in Miami. Honestly, I was hoping for a tiny house village he designed himself, but nope.

But wait—before you go “Boring!,” let me tell you about the house he nearly bought that would have made you spit out your latte. In 2020, he almost snagged a 1920s Spanish-style fixer-upper in LA’s Silver Lake neighborhood. He called it “the house that almost broke me” on Instagram—because, of course, the roof caved in during the inspection. Classic David.

The Real Estate Math (Don’t Worry, No Calculators Needed)

So why doesn’t the star of Color Splash and My Lottery Dream Home own more houses? Simple: he’s not a house hoarder. Unlike some celebrities who collect properties like Pokémon cards, Bromstad prefers to pour his cash into art—his home is crammed with original pieces, from giant skull sculptures to neon signs that say “CHILL.”

In fact, he once told Architectural Digest that his dream home would be “a tiny cabin in the woods with a massive workshop for painting.” That’s right—the man who helps lottery winners buy McMansions secretly wants to live like a woodland hermit with better lighting. Go figure.

The One House He Does Own (And It’s a Trip)

Let’s take a tour of David’s actual home, which he bought in 2019 for around $1.2 million. It’s a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house in the Hollywood Hills—and yes, it’s painted turquoise and purple on the inside. The front door is canary yellow, because why would you hire a color expert and then paint your house beige?

The living room features a pink velvet sofa that looks like it escaped from a disco, and a dining table made from reclaimed bowling alley lanes. “I wanted a house that feels like a hug from a unicorn,” he said in a tour video. I’m not sure unicorns hug, but I’m also not arguing with a man who matched his hair to his throw pillows.

The Surprising Fact That Will Blow Your Mind

Here’s the kicker: David Bromstad has never purchased a house for himself using his TV money. He bought his current home with cash from his fine art sales. That’s right—the guy you watch flipping other people’s houses funds his own nest egg by selling paintings of rainbow-drenched skeletons and glitter-encrusted aliens. Each piece sells for thousands of dollars. So he’s basically a space wizard who also picks out your countertops.

And get this: he once lived in a rented apartment for seven years while filming Color Splash. Not a penthouse. Not a loft. A rented two-bedroom with a leaky faucet. “I didn’t want to over-commit to a house,” he admitted. Translation: he was too busy making everyone else’s house look amazing to worry about his own.

The Final Verdict (And a Little Gossip)

So, to recap: David Bromstad owns one house in Los Angeles, and it’s a vibrant, artistic, slightly ridiculous masterpiece. He’s not a real estate mogul; he’s a one-house guy who invests in experiences and art instead of extra bedrooms. But here’s the rumor mill: some fans spotted him house-hunting in Palm Springs last year. Could a mid-century modern crash pad be on the horizon? Only time (and his Instagram stories) will tell.

For now, remember this: you don’t need a dozen houses to live like a rock star. You just need one house with a yellow front door, a pink sofa, and a whole lot of glitter. Oh, and maybe a trusty can of turquoise paint. David would approve.
