• A mobile home rumored to be used by Desi Arnaz as a makeup trailer hit the market in April.
• In May it sold for $145,000, but that price doesn't include the land it's parked on in Palm Springs.

"Lucy, I'm home!"

A mobile home in Palm Springs, California, that is now a delightful one-bedroom home, but is rumored to have been Desi Arnaz's makeup trailer for "I Love Lucy," sold in May for $145,000.

The petite closing price actually works out to quite a large price per square foot — especially considering it's just the trailer its new owner purchased and not the land underneath it.

In Palm Springs — home of natural hot springs and celebrity getaways — the median listing home price per square foot is $501. That's more than double the national average of $222, according to Realtor.com.

But in Horizon Mobile Village & RV Park at the bottom of the San Jacinto Mountains, the trailer now affectionately named Lucille sold for about $432 per square foot.

"In theory it sounds cheap," listing agent Niko Esposito of Paul Kaplan Group Palm Springs told Insider. "In this park, for a one-bedroom the size of what this is, that was fairly expensive."

The trailer maintains a retro look, and Esposito detailed its history — see inside.
