Suddenly it's not a secret. See Idol Chatter: Elliott also recently bought a house in the Los Angeles area, and he moved in last Friday.

"It's a very Vegas-y looking house," he says. "The backyard looks like an oasis: It's got a pool, a hot tub, a barbecue area, a fire pit. It's kind of an entertaining home."

Elliott says the 4,200-square-foot house has five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, an office and a two-car garage. But the house's kitchen and living room, he says, convinced him to buy. "The kitchen is just amazing, and it's kind of connected to the living room. It's a cool chill area I think we'll spend most of our time in."

Elliott enjoys the feeling of being a first-time home buyer. "It's a pretty big dream come true for me," he says. "I've always wanted to be a homeowner and have a place I can call my own. I'm really excited."

Congratulations, Elliott!! That is really exciting news. Thanks for the link.

The house sounds wonderful! Congratulations to E & J ! Welcome to the world of mortgage payments... :blink:

Cool. Thanks for the link. That's a big house. Congrats E!

Wow.That sounds amazing.A super big house for one person though lol

4200 square feet? In this economy? LOL

Never a secret anyway.... it's public record.

How exciting! Congratulations, Elliott.

Thanks for the link.

I'm happy for him!

Now he has room to entertain all us diehard fans. B) :eyebrows:

I hope Jaime doesn't mind! :shifty: :lol:

Sounds wonderful!

That's a pretty big house. Hope he bought it from a motivated seller. Now the second CD really has to be a success. :)

That's great news for him! I haven't heard about Elliott really splurging on anything big since his success - so this is well deserved! And from all the stuff we've heard about the CD - there's no way it won't be successful - as long as we can get people to listen to it and play it on the radio!

Now whoever said we should all be invited there for a party?..... yeah, sounds like fun!

I'll even get on a plane for that one. LOL

Well, CONGRATS on the new house!! It IS very exciting to own your home, especially if it has an oasis in the backyard! ;)

I think the size of the home is great, as he & Jaime can eventually 'grow' with it...if ya catch this pregnant ladies drift! :eyebrows:

ETA: Thanks to PM for letting us know!

Silly you! Don't you know there is a lady of the house. A gorgeous lady too.

I guess I do now.I thought he was single.

Cooool!
Lotsa room for the doggers to play!

HEY ETRAIN!!!

I am so excited for Elliott! He's come such a long way and now he owns a fabulous property in LA as more proof that dreams do come true...as if he hadn't already shown us that, lol. And then I read about the FABULOUS producers working on his record...this CD is gonna be some R&B, soulful HOTNESS!

:elliottfree:

I remember something about buying a car too...am I looney?

I am happy for Elliott !

He seems to be pretty prudent about money, so I'd say this speaks to confidence in the way his balance sheet looks! ... Also good sense -- Buy low, sell high. Good for you, Elliott. An "entertaining house" with hang-out areas in the kitchen-spilling-into-the-living-room is so much his personality. Very cool news.

;)

Very smart move...this is a great time to buy a home ..
Congrats and best wishes...may your home be filled with lots of love and laughter..and oh LOTS OF GOOD MUSIC... :elliottcap:

ps...and maybe a couple little Elliott's

Congrats to Elliott.

This news makes me feel even more optimistic about his future. I believe that he would not have purchased this large a house if he didn't feel that this was something he could afford in the long run.

Here's to much happiness and great memories to be built.

Congrats Elliott on being a homeowner.

Jaime seems to have a good career going herself - perhaps they are co-owners.

No - not looney, perfectly sane. I remember that too. He talked about it in an interview where he described what it was like the first time he heard "Wait for You" on the radio. If I remember rightly, I think the car was a Lexus.

He bought a car after the AI Tour I believe and it was an Acura, don't remember the model. I remember him been asked what he spent the tour money on or something like that.

Now all we need is some pics !

I agree Cfan!!

.....and he is now an official resident of California y'all!!

He's probably got a jury duty summons already in the mail to him.

^^

He'll have to get an apartment in NY at some point, and a condo in Hawaaii.... :justkidding:

I remember that too Harley. Now if I could remember the interview :). I doubt that.

haha SK ! No Kidding........I get mine just like clock-work !!

Congratulations, Elliott!

A housewarming party from the Etrainers, perhaps? ;)

Me too! I get one every year, but I haven't had to come to the courthouse in years. I keep thinking, "this is the year they'll get me," lol.

just got mine this week...it's like clock work..

Yeah, it was an Acura - because I remember thinking - well isn't that a lot more "sensible" than "flashy"? That's why I feel like he's probably being sensible about the house - but it still sounds fabulous!

That's wonderful news! The home sounds lovely. Thanks, Poor Me for the link.
CONGRATS ELLIOTT ON YOUR HOME PURCHASE! MAZEL TOV!

I don't know an Acura from a anything really. LOL
But at least I'm not imagining things.

Awwwwww, that is wonderful new;) Congrats to him! :)

Elliott, if you read this, you totally have to invite us all to your home. You can sing the full version of "A House is Not a Home" to us in that beautiful backyard of yours. LOL

Congratulations and I wish for you many years of happy moments and memories in your new home!
