Over his 18 years in the National Hockey League, five-time All-Star Jeremy Roenick and his wife, Tracy, lived in homes all over the country. But selling the Roenicks’ 18-acre estate in Scottsdale, AZ, has proved to be a difficult goal. The home is undeniably luxurious and well-appointed, so what’s the problem? Initially listed in January 2012 for $11.7 million, the gorgeous mansion has lingered on the market for years despite drastic price cuts. Its current asking price of $3.95 million is nearly $8 million less than it was six years go—yet no buyer has bothered to put the biscuit in the basket. Local agents agree a number of factors have worked against the sale of this seemingly flawless property: price, time on the market, property size, and competition. The five-bedroom, 7.5-bath home was built in 1997 had an extreme makeover in 2007. A two-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse was also added. The ranch-style main house now has substance and style to spare—from the walnut floors to the custom cabinetry and beamed ceilings. Copper—one of Arizona’s treasured natural resources—is used throughout the home in details big and small, and most notably in the deep soaking tub in the master bathroom. According to the listing agent, Cathy Fassero, the 18-acre lot can be subdivided or converted into an equestrian estate (plans are available for such a facility). Currently, there’s a whiffle ball field and a par-3 pitch and putt area on the property. Fassero took over the listing in September 2016, when the property was priced at just under $10 million. She says the high initial asking price had previous agents “chasing the market.” The pricing problems also kept the home on the market for an extended period of time, which leaves buyers with a (mistaken!) impression that there must be something wrong. “Time is acid to the price of a home,” says Greg Hague, a local high-end real estate agent. The chart below shows the effect of time on the property price: Fassero says a couple of buyers had considered making an offer on this property, but they ended up buying elsewhere. “People looking in the $4 million to $7 million range are often looking for a second or third home, and they want amenities,” Fassero says. “They’re looking for a lifestyle.” Hague, who’s worked in the Phoenix metro area for five decades, says the property’s massive size works against it. “People are downsizing,” he says. “A clear thing people want is low maintenance. Fifteen years ago acreage was a big deal, but it’s a changing mindset.” Hopefully, the new sub-$4 million price tag will attract a buyer with a vision for the enormous estate. Don’t feel too bad for Roenick—he’s one of the most popular commentators on hockey for NBC.

Mike Catanzariti and his fiancée were relieved when they found an apartment they liked near his new job at an investment management company in Manhattan. There was just one catch: The midtown building required two months’ rent as a security deposit, or over $6,300. “That’s just too much money to just put up into a [landlord’s] savings account,” says Catanzariti, 26, who is trying to bank some savings to help pay for his upcoming wedding. “I basically called up my broker, and I was telling him, ‘let’s find someplace new.'” Instead, his real estate broker and the building’s management company came up with an alternative solution: security deposit insurance. In lieu of handing over all that cash, Catanzariti will pay $26 a month over the life of his lease to Rhino, a startup insurance company. The company guarantees that if the couple violate their lease or trash the apartment, it will reimburse the landlord for any damages. As an incentive for the landlords to accept the insurance, the insured amount is double that of the security deposit. In turn, the tenants are expected to reimburse the insurance company for any damage they may incur, or a broken lease. Rhino is just one of a wave of new startups trying to address some very old problems: the staggering costs and financial hoops that renters in the most expensive cities face trying to get into apartments. For would-be tenants who don’t have thousands of dollars for a security deposit or who have lousy or no credit, these tech-savvy companies will step in to help—for a fee. But critics warn these services could promote poor financial planning as renters might take apartments they really can’t afford. Are they worth the risks? The security deposit hurdleA traditional security deposit is usually equivalent to one month’s rent, although in some markets (and buildings) it can be higher. And making it all even more onerous, it’s usually due at the lease signing—along with the first month’s rent and potentially a real estate broker’s fee, which is usually about another month’s rent. Phew. Jetty is another company that has stepped into the fray to help renters deal with the challenge. Rather than a monthly fee, the company charges renters a one-time, upfront fee of 17.5% of the value of their security deposit. So for a $1,000 security deposit, the fee is $175. Security deposits are “a massive amount of money that many people don’t necessarily have on hand,” says Patrick Briggs, vice president of growth at Jetty. “This is really a good way for people to access the apartments they don’t have the upfront cash for.” Such services aren’t just for those on a limited budget—they’re also being made available as a perk by landlords of newer, luxury buildings who are competing for a limited number of wealthy tenants. They’re currently offered by some large New York City real estate companies, including Stonehenge Partners and Tishman Speyer. “At first I wasn’t sure if [the security deposit insurance program] was real. It was too good to be true,” says Catanzariti, who eventually signed up for the service. He plans to move from his nearly $1,400-a-month, one-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia to a studio for $3,000-plus a month in New York on April 1. “I only have to pay a little over $300 a year to keep control over $6,000 a year,” he marvels. Currently Jetty operates in 45 states and Rhino serves only the New York City metro area, including parts of New Jersey. While both plan to expand, they were not the ones to come up with the idea of security deposit insurance. In 2000, SureDeposit launched its program, working with landlords of larger buildings across the country, many in the Midwest. “It effectively allows a renter to move in at a lower price point,” says Kyle Gelsthorpe, vice president of the company, which was acquired by insurance company Assurance in 2011. If the landlord says you can’t afford the apartment, get a guarantorAnother major hurdle for many renters is the income requirement. In cities such as New York, most landlords require tenants to have an annual income that’s 40 times their monthly rent. (In other parts of the country, the multiplier is a bit lower, usually in the mid-30s.) Do the math—that can be a heavy lift. The alternative is to find a guarantor who will ensure that the rent is paid every month. Even renters who can afford high security deposits may have trouble moving into their rentals of choice. New York City restaurateur Giles Russell, 30, ran into problems when he and his wife wanted to upgrade from a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan to a two-bedroom apartment across the river in Brooklyn to accommodate their growing toddler. The couple, who both hail from Australia, could afford the more than $5,000 monthly rent on their apartment in the Williamsburg neighborhood. But because Russell is self-employed—he co-owns two Australian restaurants and his wife stays home to take care of their 18-month-old—they didn’t meet the income requirement. So their landlord suggested The Guarantors. The Guarantors, which launched in 2016 and serves the East Coast, guarantees a rental for a one-time fee. Within 24 hours of filling out an online application, Russell was approved. And in September, he and his family moved into their new apartment building, which features views of the East River. “It was 100% worth it,” says Russell, who paid the company close to one month’s rent for the service. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to rent this apartment.” The Guarantors’ founder, Julien Bonneville, moved to New York City from France to attend business school. Because he didn’t have a U.S. credit history, he needed a guarantor to get an apartment. And the idea for the company was born. The company caters to foreigners, students and recent graduates, the self-employed who don’t have much of a credit history, and those with spotty credit issues. Clients are charged about 5% to 10% of their annual rent through the term of their lease for the service; rates vary depending on how risky the client seems. The company also offers rental insurance. “Landlords just look at surface-level finances like credit score and income. We dig a bit deeper to understand the real financial picture,” says Michael Mirandi, chief of staff at The Guarantors. The company looks at bank statements and assets, as well, and then uses a proprietary algorithm to assess risk. Jetty offers similar services, as does Insurent, a New York–based company that has been around since 2008. “The different people we assist are [often] college and professional school grads entering the workforce who don’t meet the 40” times the monthly rent requirement, says Jeffrey Geller, chief operating officer at Insurent. “Think of us as the institutional Mommy and Daddy.” Is it really worth it to get around rental restrictions?Despite the potential that these programs offer, would-be tenants should proceed with care. “I’d caution people [against] using these services,” says Roger Ma, a certified financial planner and real estate agent based in New York City who runs the financial planning company lifelaidout. “Doing so may allow you to overextend yourself [financially].” If tenants don’t fork over a deposit and their dog ruins their apartment or there are other unexpected damages, they could be on the hook for quite a bit of money they don’t have. Similarly, the requirement of earning 40 times the monthly rent isn’t just a mean rule to keep folks from renting. It’s a measure to ensure they aren’t spending too much of their income on rent, at the expense of daily living costs and savings for emergencies and retirement. “Find a less expensive alternative, whether that’s moving to a different area that gives you more bang for your buck or having a roommate or multiple roommates or finding a cheaper apartment,” Ma says.

The “Bad Boys” star has gone on the record about his love for the ranch, visiting his horses there and using the secluded getaway as a spot to kick back with friends and family. However, the actor is now ready to let go of his beloved property and move on. This estate is a long way from “Big Momma’s House.” Built in 1980 and completely renovated in 2004, the 22,538-square-foot home has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and three half-baths. There’s barely a reason to leave the premises, and that’s no joke. The property is a self-contained entertainment paradise featuring a basketball court, indoor pool, workout room, home theater, and bowling alley. The acreage includes two lakes, each equipped with a dock for fishing and boating. The home itself is roomy and full of light, with plenty of room for guests to spread out and make themselves comfortable. In 2008, TMZ reported the ranch was overrun with geese, which Lawrence addressed during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel in 2016.
One of his neighbors accused his property manager of shooting at the geese to get rid of them, explained Lawrence, who denied shots were fired. Perhaps Lawrence is parting with the property because he’s about to kick his professional life into overdrive. There’s buzz about a possible reboot of “Martin”—the sitcom that launched Lawrence to worldwide fame. Whatever his motivation to sell, this ranch presents a lucky buyer with an opportunity to own a bucolic chunk of Virgina, equipped with the very best entertainment options a comedy legend could dream up. So as the man himself would say, daaaaaammmmmmmn!
The post Damn, Gina! Martin Lawrence Selling Massive Virginia Ranch for $8.5M appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/martin-lawrence-selling-virginia-ranch/ Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have bought a New York City apartment! Together. The pop star and her Yankees legend boyfriend aimed high, too, dropping $15,316,000 for a piece of 432 Park Avenue—the tallest residential tower in the world. According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal closed in February, with listing agents from Douglas Elliman. And of course, the 4,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, 4.5-bath apartment looks palatial, with sweeping views of Central Park, plus luxe amenities such as a 75-foot indoor swimming pool, gym, and screening and performance venues. However, not everyone thinks this purchase was such a great deal. “I think she thinks they gave her a deal, although that’s not what I think,” says New York real estate agent Dolly Lenz. “I wouldn’t buy there for any price.” Why? Let us count all the ways. It sways“I’ve been up there, and it sways quite a bit. You can feel it,” Lenz says. And if that doesn’t turn your stomach, it gets worse from there. It looks like a trash can“It physically looks like a tall trash can,” Lenz contends—and she is not alone in this assessment. In fact, numerous media outlets confirm that the building, completed in 2015, was inspired by a $225 trash can. Seriously. J. Lo and A-Rod’s new place doesn’t have much spaceIn A-list celebrity terms, this new pad doesn’t have that much space—especially when compared with J. Lo’s previous 6,500-square-foot, four-bedroom penthouse in the Flatiron District, which she put up for sale. Too much construction in the area“With all the brand-new construction going on in that area, the market is going to be flooded,” Lenz continues. “The inventory coming on the market is huge. There’s 520 Park Avenue, the Crown Building, 220 Central Park South. … All these buildings are super tall. Everywhere, there’s so much competition.” The neighbors are never there“Many of the buyers in the building are Saudi or foreign,” Lenz says. As such, they’re rarely there. “If you look up at the building a night, there’s not a single light on,” she explains. Spooky! So why’d they buy this place?Whether Lopez and Rodriguez were aware of all these downsides is unknown. Or perhaps they loved the place and just don’t care. Lenz theorizes that “they’re signaling that they’re going to rent it out, which won’t pan out,” she says. “She sees it as a good investment. But it isn’t. There are a lot of choices when you have $16 million to spend.” And maybe a trash can shouldn’t top your list. The post Inside J. Lo and A-Rod’s New NYC Apartment: Is It Truly a ‘Trash Can’? appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/j-lo-a-rod-new-nyc-apartment/ Just imagine never having to worry about circling around to find a place to park your car at the beach again! This can be your reality—if you’re able and willing to pony up the $10 million the sellers are asking for this state-of-the-art car museum on the prestigious Point Dume in Malibu, CA, only 400 yards from the beach. Race car driver and tech engineer Steve Goldman and his wife, Azita, built the 7,000-square-foot facility for their own collection of luxury cars—14 of them, to be exact. Two of their cars are also available for separate sale: a Ferrari LaFerrari and a Porsche Carrera GT. The meticulously designed facility can hold 25 autos and comes with the finest high-tech accommodations. Even the air quality here exceeds hospital standards—the air is continuously cycled and monitored by computer for humidity, temperature, and dust particles. In addition, no drywall was used in the construction—eliminating any potential for dust and mold. The floors are epoxy, for easy wheeling. A large skylight on the 18-foot ceiling bathes the facility with natural light. The building was constructed with aluminum studs and steel, and was acoustically engineered with a curved ceiling, as well as sound-absorbing wall panels and commercial-grade glass windows. This means the building could also be converted into a kick-ass music studio. Outside, a 500-foot circular driveway allows semitrailers to easily deliver automobiles. A state-of-the-art security system with high-definition cameras is set up to monitor the valuables stored within. For the buyers who can’t bear to be apart from their treasures (or opts for a 24/7 security guard), there’s an 800-square-foot, one-bedroom unit on the premises. It comes with a stainless-steel kitchen, dining area, and full bath. There are three half-baths in the showroom and conference area overlooking the showroom. According to public records, the Goldmans purchased the property in 2000 for $990,000, and completed construction on the museum in 2002. The Robb Report says the couple are selling the facility so Goldman can focus exclusively on racing on the Pirelli circuit. The post Amazing $10M Auto Museum (Don’t Call It a Garage!) for Sale in Malibu appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/auto-museum-malibu/ The apartment rental market softened in the first quarter, but not as much as expected given a surge in new supply. The apartment vacancy rate edged up to 4.7% in the first quarter, up from 4.6% in the fourth quarter of 2017, according to data released by Reis Inc. on Tuesday. The vacancy rate jumped from 4.3% a year earlier, while the average apartment rent grew 3.9%, Reis said. By both measures, the market has cooled from the recent peak, when rent growth hit 5.8% in 2015 and the vacancy rate touched a low of 4.1% in the third quarter of 2016. Still, the market has proved to be resilient, given a flood of new supply from developers hoping to cash in from the strong growth rate earlier in the recovery. A sharp slowdown in occupancy and rent growth hasn’t materialized. “There’s definitely a lot of construction coming online. Even a small increase in vacancy is almost reassuring,” said Barbara Byrne Denham, a senior economist at Reis. Nearly 59,000 units per quarter were added in 2017, compared to the historical average of around 34,000 units per quarter. The pace of new apartment construction slowed to just under 40,000 units in the first quarter of 2018. Some analysts believe this was partly because the northeast was walloped by four blizzards in March, when construction usually starts to pick up. Landlords may also be getting a hand from the tax bill that passed in December, which for many renters reduced or eliminated the tax benefits of owning a home instead of renting. The U.S. added about 1.5 million new owner households in 2017, while the number of renter households actually declined by 76,000—a potentially worrying sign for landlords looking to fill large numbers of new apartments. Home prices grew strongly in the first month of the year, indicating that demand to purchase homes remains high. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index, which measures the price of a typical single-family home in major metropolitan areas across the country, rose 6.2% in January, down only slightly from a 6.3% year-over-year increase reported in December and still significantly outpacing wages and inflation. Still, Ms. Denham said the apartment market’s steady performance in the first quarter of 2018 could indicate that the tax bill could slow that shift from renting to owning. “Now everybody who was on the fence about buying a home and were about to jump in, is saying now there’s no incentive to buy a home,” Ms. Denham said. Only one metropolitan area—Chattanooga, Tenn.—saw rents decline in the first quarter compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. Smaller markets, many of which were hammered by the housing bust, continued to rebound. Phoenix, Sacramento and Charleston all saw the strongest quarterly rent growth, at 1.5%. Denver, which has long been one of the hottest markets in the country, experienced the strongest rent growth in the first quarter compared to a year earlier, at 7.6%. Ms. Denham said construction is likely to pick up through the rest of the year, so challenges for landlords remain and the vacancy rate is likely to continue climbing. The post Apartment Rents Stay Steady Despite New Supply appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/real-estate-news/apartment-rents-stay-steady-despite-new-supply/ Bill Rancic rose to fame by winning the first season of “The Apprentice” and earned a chance to manage the construction of Chicago’s Trump Tower. Now the handsome builder and his wife—queen of the red carpet Giuliana—are selling their Victorian row house in Chicago for $6.8 million. Recently renovated down to the studs, it’s a stylish, luxurious mansion filled with modern comforts while not sacrificing an iota of vintage charm. Less than four years ago, the celebrity couple purchased the Gold Coast home for $2.1 million. Since then, Rancic has overseen every detail of bringing the 1886-built mansion into the 21st century, including the addition of a third-floor master suite. “He’s the CEO of the rebuild,” says listing agent Laura Rubin Dresner. “It’s all his vision. He makes the decisions down to the tiniest details.” A big challenge with older row homes is the lack of natural light, Dresner says. To address the issue, Rancic added skylights and a glass second floor, allowing light to stream in. Now sitting atop the renovated home is a dreamy dressing room fit for a princess. The reconfigured 8,000-square-foot home now has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two half-baths. New features include radiant floor heating, a media room with cashmere-lined walls, two full-height wine coolers, and a custom bar. The large back deck just off the family room is an ideal space for entertaining on warm Chicago days. There’s also a roof deck with lake and city views. “It’s just beautifully designed and executed,” Dresner adds. This house also has a special add-on that will make every Chicagoan jealous: a heated, two-car garage and 24-hour valet parking just across the street. The Rancic home is hitting the market amid tabloid speculation that their marriage is on the rocks, after Giuliana was spotted on the Oscars red carpet without her wedding ring. Her camp dismissed the rumors, saying the ring didn’t fit with her outfit. According to Dresner, the gorgeous home no longer fit the couple’s needs. Giuliana and Bill have a son, Edward Duke. They are partners in two restaurants in the area, RPM Italian and RPM Steak. Regardless of the reason the Rancics are parting with this pristine piece of the Windy City, some lucky buyer will enjoy the home—and that heated garage—for many years to come.

Listed for $3.1 million, the unique residence is so much more than just an architectural novelty. Talk about thinking outside the box! “There really is an amazing energy up there,” says listing agent Earl Rangel of Coldwell Banker. Whether or not you believe in the power of the pyramid, the view alone inspires a peaceful sense of awe, he says. Set atop a hill, the three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence has views of Malibu Canyon, Point Dume, and the Pacific Ocean. There’s often a spectacular vista of the coastal fog rolling in and out. There are also up-close and personal views of abundant wildlife—Rangel says that deer, rabbits, squirrels, and more often make their way through the driveway. Located on 2 acres in the gated Saddle Peak community, the property features more than 25 fruit trees. There’s also an enclosed garden (so the animals stay out) for herbs and vegetables. The pyramid residence is flanked by decagonal-shaped stone towers, and the vistas are exceptional from the “Queen’s Chamber,” which features a massive skylight. This chamber, aka the master suite, also comes with his-and-her closets and a bathroom with sunken soaking tub. On the lower level of the 2,989-square-foot residence, there’s a great room with concrete and slate-tiled flooring, as well as ample seating and windows. An office resides in one of the stone towers, and a media room in the other. Besides its shape, the home has another awesome attribute: It earns its keep. According to Rangel, the home is in high demand with production companies and event planners. Many movies and TV shows request permission to shoot scenes there. These productions and special events offer the opportunity to bring in thousands of dollars per day. Rangel says the homeowners have enjoyed living in the pyramid, but wanted to be closer to their teenager’s school. The home is located about midway between Malibu and Calabasas, and the winding roads that leading to the home are ideal for the buyer who desires a serene getaway. Not so much for a family responsible for ferrying a teenager back and forth. “You feel like you’re on top of the world here,” says Rangel.

The home was part of a reported $10 million estate left to the “Today” show host by her late husband, sportscaster and former football star Frank Gifford, who died in 2015 at the age of 84. The listing appeared on the market in June, but the price hasn’t been adjusted and the home is still searching for the right buyer. The TV star has spent some sun-filled downtime there in the past. In 2014, she tweeted a photo from the private dock. “Sunset in the Florida Keys. Awesome,” she added. For a girls’ trip in 2013, Gifford and “Today” show co-host Hoda Kotb headed to the tropical paradise, which served as a backdrop for a photo shoot. When she’s not filming the final, wine-soaked hour of the popular morning show with Kotb, Gifford heads to her nearby Greenwich, CT, house, where she once gave a tour of her favorite spot, a grassy backyard with outdoor bar and water views. Despite Gifford’s willingness to part with the Florida home, we’re sure the waterfront estate has plenty of good times left in it, along with picturesque spots to enjoy a glass of pinot grigio, in true Kathie Lee fashion. The 11,400-square-foot home has eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and sits on the water with views of Card Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Built in 1998, the retreat is “ideal for entertaining.” The first floor includes a master suite overlooking the bay. There are three more en suite bedrooms, as well as a formal dining room and casual eating areas, a custom kitchen, and butler’s pantry. A screened outdoor area extends the living space, along with sliding doors that allow indoor-outdoor flow. Outside you’ll find the pool and spa, a fire pit, as well as a kitchen with dining area. A family room boasts a baby grand piano, perhaps where Gifford would sing for her guests. The two-story room is graced with a coffered ceiling and a wall of bay-front windows. The upper floor holds a large guest suite and an outdoor terrace. The home also features a 4,000-square-foot lower level, a gym, and a five-car garage. All of its contents, including a personal watercraft and golf carts, come with the sale. Before joining the “Today” show, Gifford was the 15-year co-host of “Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee.” The post Kathie Lee Gifford Selling Oceanfront Estate in Key Largo for $10.5M appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/kathie-lee-gifford-key-largo-estate/ Chip and Joanna Gaines are here to help you celebrate Easter—and all things spring—with their megapopular home decor line at Target, Hearth & Hand with Magnolia.
