This week's top real estate headlines

It seems that YouTuber Casey Neistat and his wife have tired of their recently renovated Venice home, which they’ve recently made available with a $3.9 million price tag. Featured in Architectural Digest about six months ago, the delightfully modern space features cheerful pops of color, like pink wallpaper, throughout the house. Meanwhile, over in Encino, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Dorit Kemsley and her hubby have hoisted their modern farmhouse-style home on the market for a little under $9.5 million, despite having moved in only a year ago.

In other news, ex-google CEO Eric Schmidt shelled out $31 million for one of Santa Barbara's oldest and most stunning estates, Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross are settling into a family-sized Encino manse, Warriors star Draymond Green bought a lavish Brentwood property, YouTuber Eva Gutowski is bouncing out of Encino, actor Will Forte is spinning out of his longtime Santa Monica haunt, and producer Kevin Williamson is asking a tad under $10 million for his charming Hancock Park home.
