Here are my weekly picks:
It’s a challenge to make your listing stand out, but this Quebec broker is on his way to an MTV Music Video Award. He covers an Ed Sheeran song to promote a listing and the video is going viral.
Live like Kevin McAllister for a night by splurging for the Home Alone 2: Lost in New York package at the Plaza Hotel. Kidnappers not included.
Can’t come to a decision in the artificial or real Christmas tree debate? Compromise with your partner and just get a Christmas pineapple. Yes, this is a trend.
I’ve found heaven for the architecturalist bookworm. China has opened the world’s coolest library with more than 1.2 million books lining its modern interior.
How much would you pay for the perfect art piece? Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi just sold for a record-breaking $450 million U.S.
Imagine owning John Lennon’s former home? You’ll need a little bit more than just love to purchase the home, listed for $11.7 million U.S.
It looks like Eva Longoria is desperate to leave her $14 million U.S. Hollywood Hills home – which she bought from Tom Cruise just two years ago – behind to move somewhere “more sleek.”
Any Doctor Who fan knows of the TARDIS, a time machine in the shape of a phone booth. But what if it was a bathroom? Well, then you’d have the TURDIS – a cheeky, fan-made bathroom being used as a selling point for this Australian home.
If you have a client who is house-hunting on an insanely tight budget, point them in the direction of Stoke-on-Trent, England. There are homes for sale for £1 a pop.
