Popstar Joe Jonas and actress Sophie Turner have busy careers as public figures as well as parents to their baby Willa. Recently, the 32-year-old musician and 25-year-old movie star have also been delving into the real estate realm.  The couple who married in 2019 first purchased a $5.6 million loft in New York City which they eventually sold a few months ago at $5.4 million. In June, the duo also listed their Encino, California abode for $16.75 million. Now, Jonas and Turner are on the purchasing end of real estate deals with a newfound mansion in Miami, Florida. The residence originally belonged to legendary Cuban American musician Willy Chirino and was listed for $12 million but eventually was sold to Jonas and Turner for $11 million.

Built in 1980, Jonas and Turner are now located in the posh community of Bay Point with a property spanning 10,416 square feet with six bedrooms and 8.5 baths. The three-story home opens to spacious living area with 30 feet high walls. The lavish all white kitchen is equipped with Calacatta marble counters that waterfall off the island. The master suite also highlights Calacatta marble with dual bathrooms, a private gym, and spa with sauna and steam room. The space offers entertainment options such as a climate-controlled wine cellar and bar dressed in coral stone. The interior aesthetic of the home presents a “truly unique residence is where Aspen meets Miami.” Stepping outside, the lavish waterfront exterior presents a swimming pool, spa, koi pond, and lush gardens.

Sylvia Chamorro and Dina Goldentayer with Douglas Elliman co-listed this property while Compass agent Carl Gambino represented the buyers.

In November of 2019, six months after their marriage, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner purchased a home in the exclusive Royal Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles suburb Encino for $14.1 million. Similarly, Joe’s brother Nick Jonas and his wife, Priyanka Chopra, purchased a property in the same year located a mere three miles away. Two-thirds of the Jonas Brothers have put down roots in California, precisely the Los Angeles suburb of Encino. Joe and Sophie specifically "invested significant resources into the house" renovating the space to evoke the feel of a "high-end boutique hotel." However, after only 18 months of residence, the duo have listed their stylish home on the market. On Tuesday, the property was reportedly listed by Carl Gambino of Compass for a price of $16.75 million. The reason as to why the celebrity couple are selling their Encino home and where are will reside in the future is unknown.

Located in the upscale Royal Oaks area, the picturesque property spans 15,000 square feet with nine bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The home encapsulates a contemporary aesthetic with an open-floor layout and decorative elements of European cabinetry, raised ceilings, wood, and stone. The spacious living area features a stone fireplace, wall of bookcases, and sliding glass doors leading to the exterior space. The formal dining room highlights glamorous chandeliers and sits adjacent to the wine cellar. The upscale kitchen is equipped with ultramodern appliances and long breakfast bar seating seven.

The luxe primary suite includes a living area with fireplace, dressing room, walk-in closet, two balconies, and spa-like bathroom with standalone tub, shower, and custom vanities. In addition to the main house, the property also features a two-bedroom guesthouse. Stepping outside, the garden presents lush landscaping, putting greens, lap pool with jacuzzi, and seating area wrapped around an oak tree. Other perks of the San Fernando Valley home include an additional kitchen, office, gym, home theater, wood-paneled bar, hair salon, aquarium, and four car garage.

In the meantime, check out these real-life homes that look like they were plucked right out of the GOT fantasy world.

Tyrion could live in this Mallorca castle

Tyrion Lannister has become a fan favorite over the years. He loves using his status and power to avenge all the past prejudice he received - even from members of his own powerful family.

Whoever buys this 14 bedroom, 4 bath castle in Mallorca, Spain might just feel like a member of the house of Lannister of Casterly Rock.

Bell Esguard, reflects a bygone era when merchants returned to their roots to build amazing homes with their new found wealth. This castle comes complete with a Neo-Gothic tower and turrets and gargoyles around every corner.

The surrounding countryside with its roses and green fields resembles Highgarden, the seat of House Tyrell.

The Eyrie of Ireland is on the shore of Kenmore Bay

This unique property overlooking the bay has beautiful panoramic views of the Caha Mountains. Is near where Game of Thrones has filmed.

It is a real-life castle surrounded by a moat that looks like it could be a stronghold of House Arryn. To reach the house, pass over a drawbridge and under a stone archway.  Nearby is a cascading waterfall. Viewers will get vibes of Arryn near the east coast of Westeros, straddling the peak in the Mountains of the Moon. Hopefully, there haven't been any scary executions performed here.

A Chalet that won't mind Winter is Coming

This 7 bedroom chalet in Savoie, France is befitting the Night King. It features a balcony, indoor swimming pool, and steam room to keep warm from the surroundings which look like the area the Wildlings live.

Unlike Game of Thrones, you won't be fighting battles here, but instead, enjoying one of France's finest ski resorts just a few miles away.

Austin, Texas has its own GOT Castle

The 5,500-square-foot home in Austin could be your family's house seat for $2.285 million. The gothic interior has stained-glass windows, artwork featuring dragons on the walls and ceilings, and kingly lion statues.

Purchased in 1992 by two artists who set about creating their own fantasy world, it would be impossible for anyone living here not to feel like they are in a very high and commanding position.

Tyrion Lannister would approve!

The fan-favorite Game of Thrones, that recently returned to screens for its final season, illustrates the rules of real estate and its laws of success --which haven’t changed much over the centuries. With that notion in mind, peruse the following laws of success that remain never-changing and so entrenched in the real estate experience, that they are commonly portrayed and embraced inside -and outside- the world of Game of Thrones.

First Law: Knowledge Is Power

Christie's International Real Estate

Tyrion Lannister says that “[a] mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.”

By incorporating Lannister's motto, we create the first law of success in real estate: knowledge is power. The real estate market, particularly for investment purposes, is meant for voracious readers of real-estate-market dynamics and trends. The more you know, the more you succeed.

If you taste, savor and digest the driving factors of the market in order to develop a keen understanding of residential properties, you'll eventually conquer the real estate market. Your knowledge, like Lannister's, will be the key to your success. Your mastery of knowledge, coupled with your ambition, will be the advantage that will parachute you into the most well choreographed, and lucrative, sales and purchases. Where opulence knows no limits.

Second Law: Hard Work Pays Off

Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish says that "[c]haos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again — the fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love . . . illusions. Only the ladder is real, the climb is all there is."

So, believing Littlefinger's maxim, takes us to the second law of success in real estate: hard work pays off. And there’s no substitute for the hard work. Make it diligent work with lots of inspired action because there are no shortcuts to lasting success. And lasting success is what you want.

Permanent success takes mastery. It is not a one-time event, regardless of how much wealth you attain. If you don’t continually practice the maintenance and improvement of your wealth, it will decrease. Even Loras Tyrell, the heir of the second-wealthiest family in Game of Thrones, succumbed to complacency and indifference. Where did his complacency lead him? Benched and eventually ruined.

Third Law: Networking Always Prevails

Tyrion Lannister says if you "[n]ever forget what you are, the rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to harm you."

Lannister leads us to the third law of success in real estate: networking always prevails. If you network and make the right connections, you will go far in real estate and in life, so long as you carefully manage your finances and alliances. Stay true to yourself and create genuine connections and you will be unstoppable and highly successful. You’ll easily turn the Game of Thrones into the Game of Homes. And the reward? Living and lounging in the most lavish of luxury lifestyles.

Real estate, like Game of Thrones, can be unpredictable at times, but there still remains these firm rules to success. You want to win the war, not just the battle. When you work passionately, and with perseverance, you reap great benefits from your efforts. And the result? It can be in the form of recognition, awards, money, position, prestige and/or promotion. Your well-earned millions can then effortlessly turn into some luxurious real estate: from high-end penthouses to waterfront fortresses to mega mansions.
