Heather Dubrow has revealed why she kept the sale of Chateau Dubrow a secret from her Bravo colleagues.
The reality star and her husband Terry Dubrow sold the 22,000-square-foot estate for $55 million in October and reflected on their experience as homeowners during the latest episode The Real Housewives of Orange County.

“Heather and I put our blood, sweat and tears into this house, and I felt like I wanted to be buried in the yard. I never wanted to leave,” he said. “It feels weird like it’s not mine anymore, and I’m absolutely fine with it.”
While Terry joked that he wanted to “thank this house in 55 million different ways”, he admitted that he will be “missed a lot”.
The Bad star continued to rush around the house telling his wife, 54, that “every inch of this house is you, perfect in so many ways” before stopping him to discuss why she hadn’t told her friends about the sale.

“I think I avoid it,” she said. “How do you share something when you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t?”
The clip then cuts to Heather’s confession where she declares that “a medal of a friend is someone who might be happy for your success.”
“I feel like I’m bragging if I tell one of my friends something positive that happened to me,” she adds, before remarking later in the confessional: “Don’t poke holes in other people’s boats. That doesn’t make your boat float. Please , prove me wrong.”
Heather opened up about her intentions to keep the sale a secret in a conversation with Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles star Josh Altman during an episode of his podcast, Let’s talk to Heather Dubrow.
“It was our little secret,” explained Altman, 44. “So there was a lot of nervousness going into the deal. We are not talking about small things here. This is not a $1 million, $5 million, $10 million business. Trying to make waves in Orange County. This house is not just a special house for [Heather]. There was so much emotion in that deal.”

Heather recently got candid about saying goodbye to home in a sweet Instagram snap of her and Terry dancing and kissing to celebrate the milestone.
“I never imagined we’d be here, dancing like teenagers, celebrating the sale of the house we were lucky enough to call HOME,” she wrote in the caption. “We’ve built it from the ground up and shared so many amazing memories in it, but there’s something so special, exciting and FUN about closing a chapter in your life and having no idea what you’re going to do next 😂 It felt like we were in the honeymoon phase all over again.”
