NRMLA said it supports maintaining FA's effectiveness, but it asks for streamlining procedures, reducing documentation burdens, and aligning HECM underwriting with FHA's forward mortgage program.

In a circa 1870s Greenpoint tenement building turned co-op not far from McGoldrick Park, this top-floor unit has period charm, modern updates, and low maintenance. The four-story, eight-unit wood frame walkup at 100 Newel Street boasts a well-preserved exterior with Italianate/Neo Grec-style arched and incised window surrounds, a matching canopy over the front door, bay windows, and a bracketed cornice.

I lived on the Upper East Side for most of my adult life: about 48 years, starting in the late 1970s. My wife and I bought into a co-op on 85th Street in 1999 for $265,000 and lived on the third floor of the five-story walk-up. Our apartment was 1,200 square feet and had a very nice layout, as well as a working fireplace. The building had no amenities whatsoever, but we were still very happy to be there.

The Mediterranean archipelago of Malta is small but mighty, with 21 miniature islands offering wide golden beaches lapped with aquamarine waters, glorious sandstone cities filled with Baroque temples, cathedrals to potter through, and a foodie haven in its laidback capital Valletta. Of course, there are plenty of wonderful Malta hotels - and cosy Airbnbs - scattered throughout the archipelago, but those looking for ample space to lounge should look to its

Italy's smallest towns have a long history of selling abandoned homes for unbelievable prices to attract newcomers to take up residence. But now, rather than offering dilapidated houses for a euro, the town of Radicondoli, which sits about an hour outside of Florence, wants to give you a little startup capital for your relocation instead. After its population dwindled from 3,000 residents to just 966, Radicondoli took a drastic measure to draw more people in 2023.

2025 has seen some record levels set by the Dow Jones Average and the S&P 500, but income based solutions, especially those depending on prevailing interest rates, were artificially high yielding due to glaring missteps by the Federal Reserve to cut rates during the massive double digit inflation under Bidenomics, and its stubborn refusal to cut rates during the Trump economic resurgence, which massive cut inflation and fuel prices, among other things.

It turns out the return-to-office movement isn't just about productivity, collaboration or company culture. For a significant number of companies, it is about leases - those binding, long-term commitments to office spaces that are now sitting underused while hybrid work proves its staying power. A recent Resume.org survey of 900 business leaders peels back the polished justifications for workplace mandates and reveals the financial tether that's quietly shaping policy: the office lease.

Homeownership remains one of life's most monumental transactions, and today buyers are approaching that life goal with new expectations, said Ginger Wilcox, president of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. High barriers to entry have created a generation of buyers who know what they want and won't settle for less. These insights can help sellers and agents make design and presentation choices that resonate with modern buyers who are eager but increasingly discerning.

Despite the popular (and mostly accurate) narrative that affordability is practically over in Boston, there is still some relative value to be had in 2026 inside city limits (of course, one shouldn't get their hopes up for a discount on a Beacon Hill townhouse). Buyers who want the most bang for their buck should look in areas like Hyde Park, Roslindale, Dorchester, Mattapan, and parts of East Boston, according to Melvin A. Vieira Jr. of RE/Max Destiny.

Opendoor Technologies ( NASDAQ: OPEN) went public via SPAC merger in December 2020 with a bold vision: use technology to eliminate friction from home buying and selling. The iBuyer model promised homeowners instant cash sales while buyers browsed algorithmically priced homes online. Investors initially loved it. The pandemic housing boom was rocket fuel. Low rates and remote work sent home prices soaring, and Opendoor's tech-forward approach seemed perfectly timed. But the model had a fatal flaw: buying massive inventory with borrowed money,

So, in this meeting I was asked "1인 가구 현상에 대해 어떻게 생각하세요? (what do you think about the social phenomenon of single households".

A recent American Enterprise Institute analysis ignited a spark. A Wall Street Journal piece that followed on the heels of the AEI report fanned the flames into a scandalous narrative: Permanent mortgage buydowns particularly those enabled by bulk forward commitments from large, mostly public, homebuilders act as a quiet force that inflates home prices and puts buyers at risk. But the assumption underlying that framing makes it worth a time-out to ask a few questions.

There are a host of dividend stocks that people don't spend enough time talking about, and they don't get the same kind of hype as the bigger names. The thing is, these firms operate in steady industries and continue to raise their payouts, all while delivering market-beating performance. The best of each of these three under-the-radar names is that they don't rely on hype.

Every day or every month that we're delayed, we estimate that every month is worth about $20-30 million. The most important thing we can do to keep ourselves on budget is to stay on schedule.

They rented for about a year, settling into their respective careers: White is in PR, and Harper works in the flower department at Trader Joe's. They were happy in their rental, but White aimed to become a homeowner as soon as possible. As she looked at available homes in their area, she realized she and Harper could likely afford to buy a home if they pooled their incomes.

The latest MyHome.ie and Bank of Ireland property report found that Ireland's "opaque" process for buying and selling homes is deterring buyers who are confused, frustrated and in limbo, with lengthy delays often the result of the lack of transparency. It found that two-in-five homes put on the market are being sold for 10pc or more above the original asking price and one-in-seven at 20pc above. There were 61,000 residential properties sold in 2024.
