A house can hold a family’s memories, and those memories can be sold back to the family at a markup. Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the married hosts of Netflix‘s Love Is Blind, have put their Tarzana estate on the market again. It is the same San Fernando Valley house they once sold to tennis star Naomi Osaka and then paid her to return.

The couple has called it their dream home. Buyers will pay a lot for that phrase, and the market usually pays very little for it. The Lacheys’ second exit puts that to a real test: can the premium they paid for their own nostalgia survive a sale to strangers who have no memories there at all?

Osaka bought a house and sold it back as a feeling

The order of events matters. The Lacheys bought the property from retired NFL wide receiver Randall Cobb, then sold it when Vanessa landed the lead in CBS’s NCIS: Hawaiʻi and the family moved to Honolulu. Osaka was the buyer. When CBS canceled the show, the family returned to Los Angeles and bought a house in Encino. Within a year that house was back on the market, and the Lacheys went after the old one.

Osaka had not been sitting still. According to Realtor.com, she added a new building on the grounds with a gym and a recovery suite that includes a sauna, a cold plunge and a steam room. The Wall Street Journal reported that neither sale went through a public listing. The price the Lacheys paid to reclaim the house was agreed privately with one seller who knew how much they wanted it.

A thin margin on nostalgia

Osaka paid $6.26 million for the estate in February 2022. The Lacheys bought it back in August 2025 for $7.95 million, about $1.7 million more. The new asking price, set with Mauricio Umansky of The Agency, is $8.195 million, which some outlets have rounded to $8.1 million. That is roughly $245,000, or about 3%, above what the couple paid last year. On a sale at this level in Los Angeles, brokerage commissions alone usually cost more than that.

Over the full cycle the couple still comes out ahead of their first purchase, $5.1 million in December 2020. But the cleanest gain on the house went to the only owner who never described it as a dream. Osaka cleared roughly $1.7 million in about three and a half years, before counting whatever she spent on the gym building.

The Lacheys have moved a lot of property since 2021. They paid $8.8 million for a home in Honolulu shortly after moving there. They bought the Encino house for $6.8 million in July 2024 and listed it less than a year later at $7.4 million. The Agency now says the family is leaving California “for a new chapter” and has not said where they are going.

What the next buyer gets

The listing covers 6,855 square feet with five bedrooms and nine bathrooms on nearly 30,000 square feet of land, with views across the San Fernando Valley. It has a movie theater, a wine cellar, a bar, and a chef’s kitchen with two islands. Outside are a pool, a full-size lighted basketball court, a pickleball court, and Osaka’s guest house and gym of about 800 square feet. There is no tennis court.

“We love living at [this house]. It provided so many great memories,” the couple said in a joint statement, adding that they hope the next family will love it as much as they did.

The next buyer gets Osaka’s cold plunge and the view of the Valley. They do not get the reason the Lacheys were willing to pay for the same address twice.
