Brad Caldwell+FollowInside Gene Hackman’s Santa Fe estate saleGene Hackman’s legendary Santa Fe estate just hit the market for $6.25 million, a year after the Hollywood icon and his wife passed away there.

If you’re house-hunting in China, it’s a buyer’s market, but if you already own, you might be feeling the pinch. With most cities seeing prices slide, the government’s efforts to prop up the market haven’t worked yet.

randerson+FollowBig changes coming to Mount Prospect livingA major investment just landed in Mount Prospect: The Element, a 509-unit apartment community, was snapped up for $75.25 million. With 95% of units already filled and rents averaging $1,590, this spot is clearly in demand. What’s interesting is how few new apartments are being built nearby—only 600 units in a five-mile radius—so this could shake up the local rental scene. The Element’s upgraded features and amenities, plus its location near top schools and employers, make it a hot topic for anyone thinking about renting or investing in the area. How do you think this will impact our neighborhood vibe? #RealEstate #MountProspect #CommunityTalk00Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowWhy Renting Might Be Your Secret Money HackThinking about buying a house? Serial investor JL Collins says, maybe don’t. With home prices and mortgage rates sky-high, owning a home can drain your wallet with surprise costs like repairs and taxes. Renting, on the other hand, keeps your monthly bills predictable and your savings on track. In fact, a new study shows homeowners pay nearly $550 more per month than renters. So, if you want to hit financial freedom early, skipping the house hunt could be your smartest move yet. #RealEstate #MoneyHacks #RentVsBuy10Share
davenportmeghan+FollowWhy Your Dream Home Costs More NowEver wonder why new homes are getting pricier? Turns out, cities building the most houses—like Dallas and Miami—rely big time on immigrant workers. With stricter immigration rules, there just aren’t enough hands on deck, which means slower builds and higher prices. If you’re house hunting or planning a remodel, brace yourself: labor shortages could mean paying more and waiting longer for those keys. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #Construction00Share
davenportmeghan+FollowReverse Mortgages: The Tax Bill Nobody Warned Me AboutThinking about a reverse mortgage for some extra cash?

Pro tip: set aside a little each month for those big bills, and don’t let the fine print surprise you! #RealEstate #MoneyLifehacks #Homeownership00Share
