Start Your Engines! Condo at Charlotte Motor Speedway Is the Week’s Most Popular Property

most popular homes on realtor.com 11/20 — realtor.com

Good morning, race fans! A residence right on top of a racetrack sped away with the most clicks this week on realtor.com®.

The most popular listing in the country this week is an incredible fantasy property for die-hard gearheads: a condo overlooking Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina, with floor-to-ceiling views of the entire track and pit.

If you don’t mind the roar of high-powered engines or the occasional car wreck outside your window, this two-bedroom unit must take pole position in your housing search.

It’s a man cave perched over the track, ideal for entertaining friends, family, or corporate clients. It features a huge bar in the middle of it all, to toast your favorite drivers and crews.

Coming in at a close second is a New Jersey log cabin dating to 1638, which came on the market last week. Currently in operation as a museum, it’s offered at a steep discount for any history-minded buyer.

You also clicked on Missouri’s most expensive home, a precious pink house in Florida, and a California megamansion headed to auction with no reserve bid. (The latter is also the most expensive home to be sold at auction ever.)

Folks, start your engines! Scroll on down for the top 10 of this week’s most popular properties.

10. 8516 Wittmer Rd, Pittsburgh, PA

Price: $74,900
Why it’s here: An oddball in Steel City, this two-bedroom geodesic dome was built in 1980. It’s 1,126 square feet of curvy living space.

It doesn’t qualify for a typical mortgage—but that’s because there’s nothing typical about this house. The listing notes that the home needs some structural work.

The interior looks as if it’s been transported to another world. Described as “parklike” in the listing, the lot has plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.
