Maybe it's due to a pregnancy-related nesting instinct, but Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are taking advantage of the soft real estate market. In fact, according to a number of sources, the couple has recently bought not one, but two new homes — one in Los Angeles and one in Nashville.

The couple's new West Coast property is down the street from ex-husband Tom Cruise, but more importantly, it's also close to Kidman's BFF Naomi Watts. The $7 million home features five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and logs in at 5,600 square feet. It's located on the end of a cul-de-sac, which was probably a selling point for Kidman, who was looking for a home with a long driveway for privacy. While no photos are yet available, I'll be sure to provide you with plenty of real estate eye candy when photos of the property are released.

On the other side of the country, Nicole and Keith have purchased another expansive manse. To see a picture of their Nashville home, just read more.

According to the Nashville Post, Nicole and Keith have also bought a home that had been rumored, earlier this year, to have been purchased by Jessica Simpson. The 10,925-square-foot, seven-bedroom, eight-bath home in Nashville, TN, known as "The Queen of Northumberland," was purchased for for $3.47 million. The couple also owns land in the area. Guess they won't have to worry about having room to grow once baby makes three this July.
