Matthew Jackson+FollowIs the Housing Market Thawing or Freezing Again?Heads up if you’re house hunting or thinking about refinancing: mortgage rates just dipped below 6% for the first time in years, and buyers are jumping in. But Jim Cramer warns this window could slam shut if rates shoot back up. Basically, if you’re on the fence, now might be your best shot before things get frosty again. Keep an eye on those rates—they can change faster than you can say 'open house.' #RealEstate #housingmarket #mortgagerates00Share
davenportmeghan+FollowWhy Your Backyard Is Getting Smaller (and How to Cash In)Ever noticed your neighbor’s backyard shrinking? You’re not alone.

The classic big backyard is out; maximizing every inch is in! #RealEstate #HomeTrends #MoneyHacks00Share
megan01+FollowDenver’s biggest ranch has its own mountainImagine living on 225 acres of pure Colorado wilderness—right in Denver. The city’s largest ranch just hit the market for $5.9 million, and it’s not just the size that’s jaw-dropping. This place comes with its own mountain, private trails for hiking and exploring, and no HOA to worry about. The home itself is built for comfort and epic views, with a massive fireplace, sunroom, and a primary suite that feels like a spa. It’s rare to see something this private and expansive so close to the city. What would you do with your own mountain? #RealEstate #Denver #ColoradoLiving00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowDetroit’s tax shock: Homeowners blindsidedImagine saving for years to buy your first home, only to get hit with a property tax bill that’s five times what the previous owner paid. That’s what happened to a Detroit couple, whose taxes jumped from $3,500 to nearly $20,000 after buying a Midtown duplex. Detroit’s sky-high tax rates and Michigan’s “uncapping” rule mean a home sale can reset your tax bill overnight. Many buyers don’t realize the true cost of homeownership until it’s too late. How would you handle a surprise like this? Should cities do more to warn buyers, or is it up to us to dig deeper before closing? #RealEstate #Detroit #Homeownership00Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowIs $1.4M Really the New 50s Net Worth?Heard the buzz that the average American in their 50s is now a millionaire? Here’s the catch: that $1.4 million average is pumped up by a few mega-rich folks. Most people in their 50s are doing well if they’ve got a paid-down house and some retirement savings, but they’re not rolling in cash. The real money hack? Start investing early, stick with it, and let time do the heavy lifting. Home equity and steady saving are the real MVPs, not lottery wins or flashy trades. #RealEstate #MoneyTalk #PersonalFinance10Share
randerson+Follow2026 Home Selling? Don’t Skip That Roof FixThinking about selling your place in 2026? The housing market is finally cooling off, so buyers will be pickier and less likely to overlook things like a leaky roof or outdated AC. Instead of banking on a bidding war, use the next year or two to tackle repairs and upgrades that make your home stand out. Treat your to-do list as an investment—move-in ready and resilient homes will win buyers (and better offers) when the market resets. #RealEstate #HomeSellingTips #HousingMarket00Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowDolly Parton's $180M Tennessee empireDolly Parton’s real estate footprint in Tennessee is jaw-dropping—her properties, including a 60-acre Nashville estate, riverfront getaways, and even her own chapel, add up to a staggering $180 million. But the real game-changer? Dollywood, her theme park, pumps an estimated $1.8 billion into the local economy every year. It’s wild to think how one woman’s vision has shaped not just music, but the very landscape and livelihoods of Tennessee. If you could own any spot in Dolly’s portfolio, which would you pick? And what do you think her legacy means for the state? #RealEstate #DollyParton #Tennessee132Share
randerson+FollowForeclosure Wave: Is Your Neighborhood Next?Heads up, homeowners: banks are seizing more homes again, with over 367,000 properties repossessed as the era of easy money fades. The pain isn’t spread evenly—folks with thinner wallets, especially those with government-backed loans, are feeling the squeeze. If you bought at the edge of your budget, now’s the time to check your safety net. Investors are circling, but for most of us, it’s a reminder to keep an eye on our mortgage and local market. #RealEstate #housingmarket #foreclosure10Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowShould You Refinance With Rates Under 6%?Quick coffee break tip: Mortgage rates have dipped below 6% for the first time in a while, making it a solid moment to check your options if you’ve been waiting to buy or refinance. While the Fed probably won’t cut rates again soon, you can still snag a deal by shopping around. If your current rate is over 7%, refinancing could save you serious cash—just remember to factor in those pesky closing costs! #RealEstate #MortgageRates #HomeBuying00Share
