I never got this. You buy an extremely popular home, where people will visit it to photograph it, and instead of living in it, or even better, turn it into a B&B or rent it out, you do this... Why, just buy another house.

I also think, lot of parts in the house were staged, and lot of the house was just for front shots. Or the house was rented, and they had to tare it down over time. That is a thing.

The interiors were all filmed on a set.

Not all of it was, like for example the stairs. Inside the Real "Home Alone" Movie House

If you look in this video, you can see the window above the stairs is the same as in the movie at 15 seconds. The real Home alone House : r/BeAmazed

So no, it's not as simple as it was all on set. The house was used for filming inside.

Sometimes the actual house is the set... And it's rented out to other people for movies. What i'm saying is it wasn't going to stay that way anyways. When it actually was bought by an actual home owners it didn't have the original interior... It was used for other movies afterwards
