Will he at the new home?

I was wondering same thing. I can't imagine he won't. Unlike most of us they can afford to get the new house all set up before moving out of the old one, so I would bet he would have gotten that incorporated into the plans for the new house (to be clear- they tore down the house they bought and built a custom new one on the lot)

Especially the outdoor living areas.

The pics would have been taken specifically to sell the house not to highlight their style (they already did magazine stories for that purpose when she finished decorating it years ago). Realtors will always tell sellers to remove the bulk of their personal stuff because you want potential buyers to be able to envision THEIR stuff in the house not be distracted by YOUR stuff.

i was chuckling at the ad listing the studio as a "screening room doubling as a home studio".

it's kinda bittersweet for a fan, there were all those home vids for UTS and SWS that were recorded in that house and especially in his studio. even so many of his recent IG and twitter posts were from that home studio. on the other hand, it seems almost like a perfect timing with all the crap from last year that they were apparently anyway planning to turn a new leaf. i remember everyone wondering why they bought a 3rd house in Brentwood and how many flips are they doing simultaneously. they might be the type of people like Ellen described once who always wants to redo yet another house. on the other hand, i love that my kids feel our house is their home and where so many of their childhood memories were made, not sure whether their kids would feel the same.

and yeah re pics, we've seen so many in articles about KB's design in the past, it's interesting to see different rooms, but some definitely look very different from the pics we've seem (and LB promo videos were clearly made all over that property. even very recent ones) and so seems at least some rooms have been staged for the sale. wonder whether they still live there but considering the staging, maybe not?

I felt sad and wistful when he left his "house on the hill," especially that rain room. He and Richard, he and FM, he and interviewers had been seen in photos there so many times.

Meh, it doesn't seem comfortable to me.

HOWEVER, that pool and outer deck area looks phenom. Can picture having cocktails out there while the sun sets. Very nice. Only need 29 million!

well if it makes you feel any better he still has the low wicker stool that was in that room in his studio (or did have, as it was in photos in his studio in the Brentwood house up for sale).

The rain room was pretty damn cool.

A lot of the wealthy seem to move around quite a bit, but some 16 years in the same house is pretty impressive. It makes sense that they'd be downsizing with a couple of their kids off to college now. Wow the time flies.

I remember the Madison WI SAY YOU WILL concert, where Nicks introduced the crowd to Buckingham's newest arrival, Stella, and saying they were doing some extra shows for the tour because Buckingham was "building a new house". So this house was it.

I remember Stevie announcing Stella’s birth onstage and explaining why the band had taken a break on tour. Now Stella’s a teen with a boyfriend.

Did Lindsey sale his house because he can’t afford it anymore? No more Fleetwood Mac tours.

Not at all. Lindsey has made more money in the last decade than he has his entire career combined. He and his wife buy big expensive homes and then remodel them and then sell them a few years later after the renovations. Unleashed was a huge income booster only to be followed by On With The Show tour. Even this last FM tour where he did not play a note he got paid big bucks in a secret settlement.
I think just the profit they made on this house would be a bigger payday than several tours combined LOL
