While many of these homes are fictional and don’t actually exist, these prices give you a good idea of how much a place in the area would go for.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom Dursley home in Harry Potter would cost around $615,000 in Surrey, England. For $520,000, you could get a house similar to Max and Dani’s from Hocus Pocus in Salem, Massachusetts.

A spokesperson from La Jolla realtors said: “While many of the homes in our research are fictional, this data gives an indication of how much they would cost in real life in the same area.  

“If you’re looking to live like Monica off FRIENDS, or you are even looking to buy a cottage near London like The Holiday, now you have an indication of how much money you may need to purchase these homes.”
