CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A new study reveals the most expensive Christmas movie homes. The study conducted by Cinch Home Services uses home value data from ZHVI (Zillow Home Value Index), to explore the average home prices in neighborhoods that star in some of the top Christmas movies. A seed list of the top 100 Christmas movies was sourced from IMDb, and for each movie filmed in the US, the addresses of the homes featured were researched. Each address was matched to a neighborhood and for each, the average home prices were found. The top 10 most expensive Christmas movie homes  Home Alone is the most expensive Christmas movie home, with the McCallister house costing an estimated $1.56 million. Die Hard is the second most expensive, with a Nakatomi Plaza apartment costing $1.4 million. Elf ranks third, with the Hobbs’ apartment costing $1.25 million. Home Alone is the movie with the most expensive home. Located at 671 Lincoln Avenue, Winnetka, Illinois, the McCallister house costs an average of $1.56 million. The McCallister house is a spacious and iconic residence that often sparks curiosity due to its impressive size. At approximately 4,250 square feet, it is a large Georgian-style home with three floors, a spacious attic, five bedrooms, and four bathrooms. The sizable Georgian-style mansion with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, a finished attic, and a basement naturally makes it more expensive. Die Hard ranks second, with Nakatomi Plaza, the fictional name of a high-rise building prominently featured in the 1988 action movie. The price of a space inside of this building is an average of $1.4 million. In real life, Nakatomi Plaza is the Fox Plaza, a 34-story skyscraper located in Century City, Los Angeles, California. Century City is a key business hub in Los Angeles, home to major corporations, law firms, and entertainment companies, making it one of the most sought-after locations for office space. Elf places in third, with the Hobbs’ apartment costing an average of $1.25 million. Located in Central Park West, New York, the Hobbs’ apartment is portrayed as a large unit, which is a luxury in Manhattan, where most apartments are much smaller. The apartment block called the Perry Apartments, a real building at 55 Central Park West, is known for architectural charm, spacious layouts, and desirable amenities like doormen, elevators, or concierge services, all of which add to the cost. In joint third is Scrooged, where Frank Cross’s apartment costs an average of $1.25 million. Also located in Central Park West, New York, Frank Cross’s apartment is depicted as a luxurious, high-end Manhattan penthouse. The apartment is sleek, with a modern aesthetic, high-end materials, and features, such as marble, glass, and custom furnishings. Ranking joint third, Sara’s apartment in Serendipity also costs an average of $1.25 million. The West 73rd Street, New York apartment has character and charm, with features like hardwood floors, large windows, and unique layouts can add to its appeal and value. The Christmas movies with the most expensive houses ranking sixth through to tenth are Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas in Boston, Jingle All the Way, The Night Before, and Edward Scissorhands. A spokesperson from Cinch Home Services says, “Christmas movies often aim to create a warm, inviting atmosphere, and luxurious homes with grand fireplaces, large windows, and beautifully decorated rooms help set this tone.  “Expensive homes provide a backdrop that enhances the visual appeal of holiday decorations, glowing Christmas trees, and cozy, festive settings.  “Many Christmas movies are designed to create a world that feels magical or extraordinary, and larger, more luxurious homes help to establish that fantasy world.  “In some cases, houses from famous Christmas films, like Home Alone or A Christmas Story, have become tourist attractions.  “Some film locations also may be available for short-term rental, like Airbnb, especially if the house is famous or has become a desirable location.”
