A Mississippi real estate agent from Bob Leigh Realtors showed home buyer Terry Jordan a house 3 times & then sold it to her. Terry then spent thousands on a new roof, electrical & plumbing and in the process discovered the county records didn't quite match her house. Her realtor fessed up: "I don’t know how to tell you this but we might have sold you the wrong house” What?! How can this happen? Oh wait, it's Mississippi. Things are done a bit different in the country.

 Twitter's impending relocation to Mid-Market district has driven local rents up 60%! This also has driven out the local flavor of the area. Soon, the vagabonds, addicts and ladies of the night will be replaced with tech yuppie tweeting on their smartphones and IT hipsters sipping their hoity toity coffee.  If you live in Chelsea NYC, you are in luck! This church-run asylum has been sold to a developer who is transforming the ex-looney bin into 6 luxury units.
When Naples authorities raided Italian mobster Nicola Schiavone's house, they found an "Aladdin's cave of luxury tackiness." To be perfectly honest, I have seen this decor before. There is certain aesthetic that single rich male douchebags all subscribe to: Too much money to spend & too little taste to show! This house could be one of any newly minted millionaire nouveau riche dot com guys in SF. I'm just sayin'!!
The Miami house, where scenes from the landmark porno Deep Throat were shot, has been languishing on the market. Apparently no one wants this piece of XXX history. This would have made a great set for the new Hollywood film Lovelace, starring Amanda Seyfried!
The rental company that offers subsidized government housing took Amber Portwood of MTV's Teen Mom series to court. Judge ruled she abused the system meant to help struggling people while she raked in the bucks to a tune of $280,000/yr!
 MSNBC highlights the top 10 cities with fastest growing global real estate markets. Asia dominates 1/2 the list with Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong & China. I ain't trying to hate on the motherland, but something is suspect. Hong Kong & China are #2 and #1 with 93% and 111% growth, respectively. But Israel is #3 at 53%?! The difference is just too wide. I hate to burst their bubble, but a bubble is brewing in China/HK!  Costco is rolling out a mortgage lending program for its members. They've issued 10,000 loans already! Instead of closing cost credits, they will throw in a lifetime supply of Big Bubba's frozen chicken wings. Sounds like a deal to me! Won't be long before you see Walmart Realty pop up! |
