Ma & Pop as Housemates?! It used be shameful to move back in with the parental units as an adult. But with unemployment sky high & cost of living rocketing, 3 out of 10 Gen X/Gen Y/Millenials are living back home. Don't be ashamed! Embrace it! Here's why:

BEFORE: 415 Eureka San Francisco
They both ugly in their own way! This turquoise tear down was sold in 1998 for $280k. Rebuilt in 2001 as a post-modern monstrosity, it's now on the market for $1,098,000!

Realtor to Buyer: Um, We Might Have Sold You the Wrong House! Oopsy-Daisy.

5/13/2012

3 Comments

 
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.

There is something very jungle about this room (San Francisco St. Regis Hotel). Can't you just see Tarzan lounging around there in a loincloth (patterned of course)?  I am tempted to post a salacious pic of that but this is a family blog (usually).

You Won't Believe Why This Rich Lady Built World's Most Haunted House!

5/12/2012

0 Comments

 
According to legend, following the passing of her husband from tuberculosis, the distraught Mrs. Winchester sought the counsel of a Boston-area psychic. The psychic informed the widow that her family was cursed by the spirits of everyone killed by her husband's rifles and, in order to appease them, she should move out west and use her considerable fortune to built a giant temple in their honor. She was told that, as long as construction of said temple never stopped, the spirits wouldn't take their revenge by killing her. As such, she bought a plot of land a few miles outside of San Jose and spent the remainder of her life building. (via Huffington Post)

Celeb Housing News: Billy Joel, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Seacrest, Melissa Gorga,

Picture
Billy Joel lists his stunning $14.75M  Miami mansion. 7 bedrooms & 9 bathrooms with 8,881 sq ft of living space! He should add 7 more sq ft to make it 8,888. Very luck for Asian buyers! 

Picture
Ryan Seacrest, the real Queen of all Media, is selling his sprawling abode for $15M with intentions to move to Bel Air. It'll sell for a loss but he makes $55M/yr so whatever.

Picture
Melissa and Joe Gorga of Real Housewives of New Jersey list their New Jersey mansion for $3.8M. They are allegedly moving to LA to further Melissa's "singing" career.

Picture
Ryan Reynolds snapped up a NY country house for  $2.35M. Probably a love nest for him and Blake Lively. Lucky gal!

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.

Tacky Italian Gangster's Gaudy Home No Different From Other Rich Single Dudes

5/7/2012

1 Comment

 
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!

Everyone Needs a Helicopter Landing Pad Atop Their House!

This is one of those things some over indulgent fat cat builds just to say they have a helicopter pad on their roof. I'll bet you can count the # of times it's been used on one hand. This is located in the Hollywood Hills (where else?!). 

From afar, it looks like a revolving restaurant, don't it?
