Comparing buying vs. renting? Your state’s “breakeven horizon” might be key
These days most of us aren’t in a position to buy a home in our state. It’s all that avocado toast, I tell ya! But if you ARE in a position to consider it, there’s this metric called the breakeven horizon that will help you decide if it’s financially better to buy than to rent.
And it varies widely from state to state…

This historical Dutch spooky house for sale is straight out of our haunted dreams

It’s not often — wait — it’s usually NEVER that I’d say one of the best selling features of a home is the unfinished treehouse built into the deck that looks like it might fall apart at any minute.

Ever wanted to live in a Wes Anderson film? This Paris apartment will let you
My Modern Met featured this super stylized Paris apartment that looks like it’s the location for the next Wes Anderson eclectic twee-fest. The three-bedroom apartment occupies the top floor of a building located in the Passy area of Paris on the Right Bank, and you can count the Eiffel Tower among the sights of the view. But mostly, it’s the interiors that are making us beg for mercy from its gorgeousness.
The most ’80s room of all time (time after time)
Hold the phone! (The landline kind — you know, the one that’s wall-mounted and has one of those extra long cords?) I found THEE MOST ’80s ROOM OF ALL TIME. This room looks like it should be a set of an (early era MTV) music video. Or maybe a set piece from Earth Girls Are Easy. It shocked me to my core and then rocked me all night long, because it was so unexpected!
