I was always drawn to new experiences and opportunities. My work in investment banking and asset management brought me to Singapore for almost five years. After being laid off, I found myself in Bali with my then-husband and our seven-year-old daughter, running a small boutique hotel. After four years of island life, I returned to the finance world, taking roles in Japan and later in Myanmar.

According to the complaint, Zillow pressures agents in its Premier Agent and Flex lead programs to steer buyers to Zillow Home Loans for their purchase mortgage pre-approval. Allegedly, agents who sent more clients to Zillow's mortgage arm for their pre-approvals received extra or higher-quality leads in exchange. If agents in the Flex program fail to send a sufficient number of leads to ZHL for pre-approval, they risk being removed from the program.

A "localised housing crisis" has become a "national problem", according to Liam Sides, associate director in Oxford Economics' Cities & Regions team.

In this case, a transaction became complicated when multiple buyer's agents and a listing agent miscommunicated about compensation. Somewhere between the initial outreach, the offer, and the documentation, key information about commission expectations went missing. The breakdown didn't just cause frustration. It exposed a deeper issue that every agent must face head-on: How do we maintain fiduciary duty when others in the transaction don't follow proper protocol?

Grid-interactive buildings represent the next evolution in sustainable real estate. These buildings communicate dynamically with the electricity grid, adjusting energy consumption and generation to optimise efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. How grid-interactive buildings operate Using advanced sensors, building management systems, and AI-driven controls, grid-interactive buildings monitor both internal energy demand and grid conditions. They can shift consumption to off-peak periods, store excess renewable energy in batteries, or feed energy back to the grid when appropriate.

However, in its ruling, ACP has refused planning permission on three grounds and two of the reasons for refusal relate to the light-bellied Brent goose, a winter migrant from high-Arctic Canada. Most fly here between October and April. ACP has issued a refusal as the scheme would materially contravene a number of policies in the Dublin City Development Plan for the protection of European sites from a conservation point of view.

DCC rents social homes at a rate that depends on the income of the occupants, known as a "differential" rent system. At the moment, rents are charged at 15pc of the principal earner's salary, with the first €32 a week exempt from this calculation, and subsidiary earners are charged in the same way up to a maximum of €21 a week. Up to four subsidiary earners can be included in the calculation, but the fifth and onwards don't count towards the rental figure.

Florida's housing market remains one of the most active in the nation, balancing rapid population growth with a steady stream of new construction. The state earned a C+ on the Realtor.com® State-by-State Housing Report Card, part of the Let America Build campaign tracking how well states manage affordability and housing supply. While Florida continues to build at an impressive pace, strong demand and rising insurance costs have kept pressure on buyers and builders alike.

Joel Kan, MBA's vice president and deputy chief economist, noted that October's credit availability level was the highest seen since 2022 due to investors broadening their loan offerings. The increase was driven by growth in conventional mortgage credit availability, while government credit supply changed little, Kan added. A greater number of ARM and cash-out refinance loan programs contributed to credit supply growth, although the programs were mostly limited to higher credit score borrowers.

Price reductions swept through 44.7% of active listings in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro during the week ending Nov. 7, 2025, as the region's median list price held at $850,000, nearly double the national median of $435,000. The widespread pricing adjustments signal a recalibration in one of the nation's most expensive housing markets, where sellers are adapting strategies to maintain transaction momentum. Despite the high rate of price cuts, the metro absorbed 652 homes during the week while adding 399 new listings to the market.

Sally Stanford grinned as she took in the crowded dining room at her Sausalito waterfront restaurant, Valhalla. At its grand opening celebration in March 1950, a live band entertained more than 100 well-to-do diners who clinked glasses. Outside, police cleared traffic, and a line of curious customers continued to grow. Stanford, who wore a slinky black silk dress and styled her hair with an updo crowned with a white orchid, had seemingly done the impossible.

South Dakota's housing market continues to stand out in the heartland. The Realtor.com® State-by-State Housing Report Card gave the Mount Rushmore State a strong B, reflecting solid affordability and steady construction. The report-part of the Let America Build campaign-measures how well states balance home prices with new construction to meet demand. South Dakota's results show a healthy market that's growing sustainably, even as population gains and rising costs begin to test its capacity.

Dubai's getting another jaw-dropping addition to its skyline, and this one's a real showstopper. Sobha Realty just unveiled Sobha SkyParks, a massive 109-story tower that'll stretch 450 meters into the sky. When it's done, this giant will rank among the UAE's five tallest buildings-quite a feat for any developer. The project comprises 684 luxury apartments across 109 floors, each offering incredible views of the city sprawling below.

If you've been wondering how long you have to buy a house after selling one to avoid a tax penalty, you're dealing with a widely circulated, but outdated belief. The idea that you must purchase another home within a specified window after selling your current one in order to avoid taxes is no longer accurate. Rather than focusing on a deadline for buying another house, current U.S. tax law hinges on how long you owned and lived in the home you sold.

Now, Skykes, whose firm showcases multimillion-dollar deals in both Florida and the Northeast, said she's watching two Americas diverge in real time. In the Northeast, she's seeing bidding wars have returned in commuter suburbs like Monmouth County, N.J., and mid-Long Island, where buyers still fight for an acre and an elite school district. In Florida, by contrast, she described a market in withdrawal, nursing a hangover after a flurry of activity. "Just a couple years ago, we were being love-bombed and told how great we were," she said, citing Florida's burgeoning status as "Wall Street South," a new finance hub. Now, things are "flat" or even heading downward.

The company's chief executive, Johan Svanstrom, said AI was "becoming absolutely central" to the running of the business and its plans for the future. But investors were less enthusiastic, and Rightmove's shares had sunk by more than a quarter at one point on Friday. Rightmove announced plans to invest 60m over the next three years and a large part of this investment will focus on AI.
