President Trump’s childhood home in New York City has been sold at a steep discount — after the previous owner allowed it to fall into disrepair and become overrun by feral cats, The Post has learned. The Tudor-style residence in the leafy Jamaica Estates enclave in Queens — where the young Donald lived until he was four years old — was scooped up for $835,000 by a Brooklyn-based LLC called 1388 Group, according to the sales deed filed March 3. That price is less than half of the $2.14 million the house previously fetched in 2017, when it was purchased in an all-cash deal by Michael X. Tang, a lawyer who reportedly buys real estate on behalf of overseas Chinese...

A Los Angeles home that was reduced to rubble in the January Palisades fire has become one of the hottest properties on the market, drawing more than 60 offers and entering escrow for well over $1 million — despite being listed for just $999,000. The once four-bedroom wood-and-stucco house in Pacific Palisades was worth an estimated $2.7 million before flames tore through the area. Now, it’s little more than a scorched lot with two standing chimneys. But that didn’t stop a flood of investors eager to cash in on a rebuild. (Once valued at $2.7 million, it is now in escrow for over $1 million, highlighting the demand for fire-ravaged properties despite ongoing...

The serene Swiss estate where Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn resided for her final three decades is now up for sale asking $20.8 million.

The legendary actress, whose charm and elegance captivated audiences worldwide, is buried in the town’s cemetery just minutes away. After her death, Hepburn’s sons sold the 18th-century farmhouse to Katharina and Jean-Marc Beaujolin in 2001. (The estate looks...

Nestled in the heart of Mayfair, you’ll find the house where former prime minister Sir Winston Churchill grew up in the late 1800s. Fast forward to 2024 and it’s just hit the market for a whopping £6,500,000 – almost ten times the price of the average London home, which according to data from Zoopla, is now £687,046. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, rented the property between January 1874 and December 1879. Churchill might’ve been born in November of that same year at the famous Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, but the Mayfair property was used as the family’s London base throughout his early childhood. So, if they were mainly...

These days, building up to our first property often takes years of saving – unless you’re buoyed by generational wealth or happen to win the lottery. If you’re looking for a unique opportunity to get on the property ladder, a one-bedroom flat has hit the market in Birmingham for just £1. But naturally, there’s a catch. The third-floor flat needs a considerable amount of modernising, so this is definitely a doer-upperproject (unless you want to keep the hot pink bathroom complete with what appears to be a mould-stricken bathtub in-tact). In the past, electricity, water and sewage have been supplied to the property, but the listing notes that the existing...
