Martha Stewart-backed housing line: Martha Stewart is collaborating with a homebuilder and a brand accelerator to launch the Martha Stewart Iconic Estate Housing Collection, a line of prefab houses and ADUs inspired by her style. The collection includes four models and aims to offer energy-efficient, passivhaus-style homes with faster construction timelines (4–12 weeks from permitting to delivery) and price ranges roughly $150,000–$450,000. This marks a notable convergence of celebrity branding with modular housing in the U.S. market. [Source: Homes.com article on Martha Stewart-inspired homes][1]
