During the filming of Magnum, from 1980 until 1988, Selleck reportedly rented a one-bedroom guest cottage on a 5,000-square-foot plot of land in Honolulu. In 1993, he returned, buying the ocean-view property for an undisclosed sum and moving into its 1929-built two-bedroom main house.

Walters, who made the move to Sotheby's International Realty with her team co-founder Plaxen late last year, called out market dynamics where discerning buyers are leading conversations with sellers.
