Britney Spears's childhood home in Kentwood, Louisiana, has been listed for $1.2 million, more than quadruple its 2021 selling price. The 2,229 square-foot ranch-style home, built in 1980, features three bedrooms and three bathrooms but has not been recently renovated. The real estate agent acknowledges that the home's actual value is likely around $300,000, making it unlikely for a buyer to secure a loan for the full listing price. The property includes some original furniture and memorabilia from Britney Spears's time there. The agent hopes the home will be turned into a museum, venue, or Airbnb to attract fans and tourists. Offers are being entertained, and negotiations are possible.

Aretha Franklin's childhood home in Detroit's Historic La Salle Gardens neighborhood is back on the market for $379,900 after a recent sale fell through. The 6,000-square-foot brick colonial built in 1916 has six bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, and a detached, four-car garage. The house was re-created on a movie set in Atlanta for several pivotal scenes in the 2021 film "Respect," which chronicles Franklin's life from childhood in the 1950s through her breakthrough as a global star. The house needs a lot of work, and the realtor hopes to find buyers ready to fully restore the home.
