Jennifer Lopez has just put her massive Bel-Air spread on the market for a jaw-dropping $42.5 million.
Located on 7.8 acres in the posh Los Angeles neighborhood, the 12,817-square-foot retreat is tucked away on a gated property, just minutes from the famed Bel-Air Hotel.
TMZ reported that the actress and singer listed the home, noting that she and husband Ben Affleck originally intended to renovate the space.
The news comes just six months after the A-list celebs tied the knot in Las Vegas.
On “Home Town,” Erin and Ben Napier are pros at turning cheap old houses into luxurious dream homes, but on the latest episode, they find what might be their biggest bargain yet.
In the Season 7 episode “Mississippi Made,” the Napiers help store manager Hayley find a two-bedroom, one-bath starter home in Laurel, MS, for just $50,000. There is a very big catch: The previous owners had the whole place gutted before deciding to sell. So, while the exterior is intact, the interior is a big, empty box.
“It’s a little deceiving because it looks so fresh and pretty on the outside,” Erin says when first showing Hayley the property.
Luckily, Erin and Ben have $100,000 left in the budget to reimagine this clean slate. Read on to find out how they create character from scratch, with plenty of budget-friendly design ideas you might be inspired to try around your own abode.

Former University of Texas men’s basketball coach Chris Beard is leaving Austin, TX, behind.
He’s selling his four-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 4,000-square-foot home in the capital city for $4,950,000.
The listing follows his December arrest on a domestic family violence charge, after an argument with his fiancé. The school immediately suspended Beard without pay and eventually fired him in early January. And because his termination stemmed from a felony charge, the school won’t have to pay out the more than $25 million left on his contract.

Homebuyers can put as little as 5 percent down when taking out a new construction loan, with one closing and an optional float-down to secure a lower interest rate, according to United Wholesale Mortgage.
Home staging is a strategy that many sellers use to show off their property’s potential, and it’s one of the most important tasks you can do before putting your house on the market.
Staging makes it easier for buyers to visualize the space as their future home, according to 82% of buyer’s agents surveyed for the National Association of Realtors® biennial Profile of Home Staging. And nearly a quarter of buyer’s agents said that staging a home increased the sale price by 1% to 5%.
The survey also points out that the primary bedroom is one of the three most important rooms to stage. But staging a boudoir involves more than making the bed and calling it a day.
If you’re determined to stage your home to the nines and fetch top dollar, avoid these common missteps.

Homebuyers who are closely watching the correction in the real estate market might believe now is a good time to pounce. After all, homes are sitting on the market for longer, those maddening bidding wars have dried up, and wild offers over the asking price are things of the past, right?
Well, not exactly. It all depends on what they’re hoping to purchase.
Those searching for a home are seeing plenty of fixer-uppers, homes lacking curb appeal, and those in less desirable areas sitting on the market for longer and undergoing price reductions. But well-appointed, well-situated turnkey homes are still selling fast, often receiving multiple offers, and even selling over the asking price. It’s as if the housing slowdown hasn’t affected these properties much at all.
“If it’s a good home in the resale market, it’s selling quickly,” says Ali Wolf, chief economist of the building consultancy Zonda. “The buyer who is buying today is not the same buyer buying 12 months ago. If [they’re] paying this much, it needs to be a nice home.”

There are various taxes and fees involved when relatives settle their parents’ estate, but the first step is figuring out what it’s worth.
In our local real estate market, the start to the first quarter of 2023 felt a lot like the fourth quarter of 2022; somewhat slow. With an official recession likely this fall, high inflation, and the mortgage rate hikes of last year, it’s understandable why many people have been apprehensive to make a move.
Despite the slow start, consumer confidence has been on a sharp rise recently. Consumer confidence is a great leading indicator of what will happen over the next few months. To try to anticipate what the market might do, the best metrics to pay attention to are consumer confidence, new mortgage applications, home showing activity, mortgage rate locks, and finally closings.
The spike in consumer confidence indicates people are a bit more optimistic about the economy than before. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t apply for new mortgages. The increase in mortgage applications should eventually flow through the rest of the metrics, resulting in more home sales. It’s a great sign for the spring, which is historically the busiest time of year in real estate.
A home with a unique viewpoint is coming into focus on the Oregon coast.
The 7,442-square-foot home, with its own lighthouse, sits on almost 26 acres along the Pacific Ocean in Cloverdale, OR. The stunning property is listed for $10 million.
“The Oregon coast is beautiful and rugged—they call it the wilderness coast, and it’s exceptional in its beauty,” says Brian Ladd, with Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty. He is co-listing the property with Josh Reed. “I think what’s so iconic about this property is the setting.”
