'AMERICAN IDOL's NIGEL LYTHGOE Hits a High Note with $4.4M Home Sale!!!

Published | Updated

Nigel Lythgoe’s L.A. dream house just got voted off the market -- snagging a show-stopping $4.4 million!

Real estate sources tell TMZ West Coast Customs boss Ryan Friedlinghaus is the new owner of the 5-bed, 8-bath stunner -- taking it from the former "American Idol" and "SYTYCD" EP after being on the market for a while.

Nigel first put the place on the market last year, but had to trim the price down to $4.599 mil in October -- and still ended up selling it for less. He scooped it up for $4.7 mil in early 2023, so selling it for less probably wasn’t the Hollywood ending he had in mind.
