Brad Caldwell+FollowBrooklyn’s tallest penthouse sits emptyA $16.75 million penthouse soaring 92 stories above Downtown Brooklyn is still looking for a buyer, even after a month on the market. With only 19 out of 143 luxury condos sold in the Brooklyn Tower since 2022, the building’s sky-high views haven’t been enough to fill its halls—residents are calling it a “ghost town.” It’s wild to think that such a prime spot, with sweeping views of the city and top-tier design, remains empty. What do you think is keeping buyers away? Is it the price, the vibe, or something else? #RealEstate #Brooklyn #NYC00Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowWhy Your FHA Loan Might Hit PauseHeads up if you’re house hunting: HUD just hit the brakes on two mortgage lenders in some Southern cities because too many of their FHA loans went sour. If you’re shopping for a home with an FHA loan, you might find fewer options for now. The reason? Rising costs and inflation made it tough for first-time buyers to keep up. Expect more lenders to get a timeout if defaults keep climbing! #RealEstate #FHALoan #HomeBuying00Share
Heather Moore+FollowFlorida’s tiny homes that grow with youImagine starting out in a cozy, affordable one-bedroom home and expanding it as your family or needs grow—without ever moving. That’s now possible in Gainesville, thanks to Mesocore Modular Homes’ new expandable model. These homes are built to fit on smaller lots, making homeownership more accessible, especially for first-time buyers and young adults. Plus, the design could be a game-changer for disaster relief, since entire neighborhoods can be rebuilt quickly with off-grid, self-sustaining units. Could this shift how we think about starter homes and resilient communities in Florida? Let’s talk about what this could mean for local families and neighborhoods. #RealEstate #FloridaHousing #ModularHomes00Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowColumbus home prices are still climbingColumbus-area home values are still on the rise, even as the national market cools. Some cities like Alexandria and Grandview Heights saw home prices jump over $20,000 in just one year! Even smaller towns like Mount Victory and South Solon posted increases above 7%. With limited inventory and steady demand, it’s getting tougher for buyers to find affordable options. If you’ve been thinking about moving or investing, these trends could really impact your plans. What’s your take—are these rising prices good for our neighborhoods, or do they make it harder for locals to stay? #RealEstate #ColumbusOH #HomePrices00Share

davenportmeghan+FollowFrank Lloyd Wright gem gets a second chanceA 123-year-old Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home on Chicago’s West Side just landed in Fannie Mae’s hands, finally clearing years of foreclosure chaos. This could be the best shot in decades to save the Walser House, a landmark that inspired some of Wright’s most famous designs. The catch? It needs a $2 million restoration, and a fake online listing recently tried to scam would-be buyers. Local groups are pushing to restore it for community use, but until real investment arrives, the house’s future is still up in the air.
