In recent studies, we analyzed and determined the most expensive ZIP codes in a series of Southern states, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Virginia, and North Carolina. We wanted to turn now to another state in the U.S. South — Tennessee. Tennessee saw some explosive growth in home values over the last five years. While this was a general trend across the country, the home value appreciation in Tennessee housing markets has been remarkable. Read on to find out the most expensive ZIP codes in Tennessee in 2024, based on the latest data from Zillow’s home value index. The Most Expensive…

If your parents are downsizing to a smaller home, moving in with you, or they’ve (unfortunately) passed, you may be tasked with selling their home.

However, with careful planning and the guidance of an experienced real estate agent and attorney, he says you can navigate…

Starting With Comfort Lipoff says some new technology can create simulations and modeling of the home and all of its performance, including analyzing current energy use to then try different…

In a city of such singular beauty as Venice, it’s hard to know which way to turn. From the Grand Canal lined with majestic palazzi to the labyrinth of more discreet waterways that suddenly open up to reveal a scene-stealing cathedral or piazza, it’s an assault on the senses of the most bewitching kind. But we all love to measure, rank and compare. And the Dorsoduro district is considered by many to be the best place to live in Venice. Where a hive of independent, age-old local institutions like Antica Locanda Montin (whose vine-shaded garden has welcomed diners from Modigliani…

We’ve been going state by state, analyzing and identifying the most expensive ZIP codes in each U.S. state. We’re particularly interested in the states along the Mississippi River, having previously determined the most expensive ZIP codes in Arkansas and Louisiana. Now, we want to turn to the state named for America’s mightiest river — Mississippi. Many, if not most, housing markets across the United States experienced a surge in homebuying activity, beginning some time in 2021. Rate hikes cooled the frenzy, but prices are far and away above what they were pre-pandemic. Mississippi witnessed the uptick in its home values…

Homeownership has long played a starring role in the American dream. It’s often the foundation of a family’s financial security and generational wealth. It’s a builder of stable, safe and healthy communities. It’s an asset with a long history of appreciation. And common wisdom has long been that it’s a hedge against rising rental rates and uncertainty. Will the impacts – still being felt and calculated – of natural disasters change the equation for homebuyers and homeowners this year? A February 2024 online survey of 1,000 U.S. homeowners by the Real Estate Witch educational service, a division of real estate…

Jupiter Island, that slender finger of sand and vegetation that separates the Atlantic from a 10-mile stretch of nature preserves and country clubs just north of Palm Beach, is also home to some of the most expensive property in the U.S. Homes here routinely fetch eight figures, with celebrities, business leaders and sports figures drawn to its orbit of exclusivity and privacy. This is rarefied real estate on a finite patch of land with limited opportunities for development. Which is why a plot of undeveloped land that extends westward from the ocean to the intracoastal waterway presented an unusual opportunity…
