Say it ain’t so, Screech! A Wisconsin home owned by Dustin Diamond, a child star on the early 1990s TV show “Saved by the Bell,” is this week’s most popular home on realtor.com®. But it won’t be his home much longer—one way or another.
The distressed property landed on the market this week for $280,000, and according to TMZ, Diamond’s lender is ready to foreclose on the property.
Curious clickers were intrigued by the tale of the actor’s financial woes and propelled the four-bedroom house to the top of the chart.
Diamond told TMZ he hasn’t been to the property in over a year, and the outlet reported he “hasn’t figured out how he’ll deal with the bank’s foreclosure.”
Unless he comes up with $270,000 in a hurry, there probably isn’t a way to deal with it. The forlorn home now has water damage and is marketed as a “great rehab project.”
Moving away from Screech’s sordid story, a property featured on “Real Housewives of New Jersey” proved popular. The mansion where Melissa Gorga recorded the song “On Display” was relisted yet again and attracted some serious attention.
A couple of architectural wonders drew interest this week, including a circular, domed house in New Hampshire and a midcentury modern gem in Iowa.
We also saw the return of one of our all-time favorite properties: a 1980s desert party palace we covered in April.
Thanks to a recent tweet from New York Times editor Dodai Stewart to her nearly 50,000 followers, interest in the neon-hued home in Nevada lit up the Web again.

1. 124 Grandview Dr, Port Washington, WI
Price: $280,000
Why it’s here: “Saved by the Bell” star Dustin Diamond bought this house for $340,000 in 2003, with what he told TMZ was a $68,000 down payment.
He’s still listed on property records as the home’s owner, but 17 years after purchasing the place, Wells Fargo says Diamond owes nearly $270,000 on the loan.
A water main break on the property recently caused an array of issues, and the actor says he opted simply to let the house go.
“Foreclosure means nothing when a house is destroyed,” Diamond told TMZ. “With my items I’ve lost, it now feels like Wells Fargo is trying to kick me when I’m down.”
Diamond said that his lifelong collection of pictures, comics, and videos were all ruined by the water.
Now the four-bedroom home just north of Milwaukee is available as is, as a rehab project for an intrepid investor.
