"Your trusted Dublin 6 agents," goes the tagline on a new advertisement for Sherry FitzGerald that we spotted in Ranelagh last week. Dublin 6 is also home to ­Mullery O'Gara estate agents, the subject of a recent investigation by the Irish Independent which revealed that the firm got a UK businessman to pretend to be the owner of a house it was selling.
Cleveland continues to rock and stand out as a popular place for prospective buyers looking for a bargain. The Realtor.com® November 2025 Housing Trends Report found that more and more buyers nationwide are seeking affordability in a high-cost, high-rate environment. But with national prices slipping and homes sitting longer on the market, more shoppers are redirecting their searches toward "refuge markets"- aka, traditionally lower-priced metros where each dollar goes further.
So Austin decided to try something a bit unconventional. He offered seller financing - an agreement in which the seller acts as the lender, typically providing the buyer with a short-term home loan. In Austin's case, he held firm on the home's sale price, but offered a below-market interest rate to entice buyers. As soon as he offered the creative financing option, interest picked up.
Cincinnati's prices and pace support its growing appeal. Cincinnati posted a median list price of $335,000 in November, up 4.7% from last year. Price per square foot rose 2.9% year-over-year, outperforming national trends, where PPSF declined 1.0%. The metro also recorded 13.3% PPSF growth since 2022, a defining marker of refuge markets where affordability and long-term appreciation coexist.
"There is a God." That was the reaction of Tipperary farmer John Hurley when he heard that billionaire John Magnier had lost his High Court case, seeking to compel the Thomson-Moore family to sell their 751-acre Barne Estate to him ... It was a bad week for Magnier, the billionaire horse racing magnate who runs his empire from Coolmore, Co Tipperary. In the same week that he lost the Barne case, which could cost him €7m in legal fees,
I left New York and moved back to Florida without a plan. My younger daughter offered me a mobile home on her property to stay in while I figured it out. I moved in and didn't move out. It felt just right. It is small and easy for me to take care of. It's the perfect size to fit the things I hold dear. I call it "The Teapot."

Housing is a basic existential need and affects everything from a person's career chances to physical and mental health. At the same time, finding a suitable place to live can be hard in Germany and even harder for people who are not white Germans. That's according to a new study by the German Center for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM). It is the first comprehensive analysis of how racialized people people from ethnic and racial minorities are discriminated against in the housing market.
Six companies had their ratings affirmed, with the exception of Planet Financial Group, whose rating was downgraded to B from B+. The outlook for Provident Funding Associates improved from stable to positive, while UWM's outlook shifted to stable from positive. FOA received a positive outlook. These affirmations reflect continued franchise strengthening of the largest mortgage companies as the market has consolidated over the last three years, Fitch said in its report.
A crane rumbled into a neighborhood in Holbrook earlier this year carrying a factory-made house, complete with windows, doors, a bedroom, and a kitchen. Workers guided the box onto a concrete foundation in the backyard of a small single-family home with white siding. Within a few weeks, there was a pitched roof, kitchen appliances, and running water. And now a lot that previously held just one house has two.

While this process can be done manually, automating it can save time and help builders obtain necessary construction finance draws faster, Sitewire CEO Bryan Kester tells The Builder's Daily/HousingWire. It saves you having to go to a GC, ask for a construction bid or estimate, and then just hope that it's correct. It's the opposite process. You would put it into our system, hit a button, and we'll tell you within 15 minutes
Builders often talk about uncertainty as if it were a temporary fog that had to clear eventually. Rates will decline, the Fed will pivot, pent-up demand will return, migration will pick up again, and the longstanding pattern of structural underbuilding will resume. The idea that the industry's biggest risks come from the outsideand that the outside world and its cyclical forces will eventually save themhas been one of homebuilding's most persistent forms of magical thinking.
With a focus on underperforming mall and high-cost locations, two store fronts in New York City have gotten the axe. For example, the Kay Jewelers at 446 Fulton Street in Brooklyn has permanently shuttered. Formerly located in Downtown Brooklyn, the high-rent, bustling retail area has seen a handful of other older and smaller jewelers shut down due to rising costs.
As a quasi-successful artist and small business owner, I am asked all the time: "Why don't you open a shop in Portland? People here love your stuff!" Here's why: commercial rent is insane and untethered from economic reality. There is simply no foot traffic in this relatively small city to justify these asking prices. After paying a landlord his sky-high rent, there'd be no margin left at the end of the month to pay myself, hire workers, or even buy toilet paper for the bathroom.

"If you subscribe to our worldview that bringing superintelligence at scale at very low cost is going to be transformative, you try to figure out - how can I invest in that and take the least amount of risk?"
