Weekly Blend: November 18, 2016

The Weekly Blend is your “weekly” source covering real estate news that you just may have missed. Our hard-at-work Weekly Blend crew scours the web looking for obscure, bizarre, interesting and informative real estate (or real estate related) stories. If you have one you’d like to share please feel free to share it in our comments section or tweet about it using the hashtag #WeeklyBlend. So brew yourself a fresh cup of coffee and enjoy these stories. Maybe even share them with friends or colleagues. Happy reading!

Here are my weekly picks:

Talk about a model home! Cindy Crawford’s Malibu beach house is on the market for $60 million.

This museum in Chichibu, Japan is bringing a whole new meaning to the term “rock face.” Let’s just say stamp collectors have never looked so cool, until now.

Imagine your driveway was part of Australia’s biggest and most storied motorsports track. Now imagine you had to deal with Canadian winters on that driveway.

Live like a king or queen and buy this 16th century castle in Scotland. You will also inherit Scotland’s oldest yew walkway.

Last week I told you about Donald Trump’s former home for sale. Well, now his old Lamborghini is up for grabs.

Check out this collection of astounding pictures of the supermoon seen from ‘round the world.

Paws for a minute and read this: A REALTOR® in Sacramento is offering to pay for any animal adopted at one of the city’s animal shelters for the remainder of the year.

This 1920s-era commercial building in Minneapolis is for sale. It’ll cost you $1. (Sorry, $1.35 Canadian. Maybe it’s not as good of a deal for those of us north of the border.)
