Here are my weekly picks:
This Boeing 787 Dreamliner was converted into a luxurious private jet. And you’d be dreaming if you thought you could own it, considering it costs around $300 million U.S.
If you aren’t living in a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a motorhome or a houseboat, your home shouldn’t be moving. This Newfoundland man narrowly escaped his house that got caught in a landslide.
America’s oldest shopping mall has been converted into an apartment complex, with some stores sprinkled on the first floor.
Your weird real estate listing of the week is also described as the “worst real estate listing you will ever see.” Other words to describe this Connecticut, five-bedroom house include “terrifying,” “deranged” and a “portal to hell.”
You wouldn’t be “lion” in bed all day if you owned one of these new luxury safari homes in South Africa. Giraffes, buffalo and rhinos at your doorstep, oh my!
Don’t worry, Mr. Trump, if you lose the presidential election you can still live in the White House. That’s because it’s for sale! Actually, two of them are. Replica White Houses are on the market in Virginia.
Good thing there wasn’t any gas around for this fire sale. The City of Calgary just sold a historic gas station for just $10 to a car enthusiasts group.
Why didn’t Ottawa think of this for our own 20-year-long Parliament buildings restoration? An architecture firm proposed floating the heart of the U.K. political system on a glass-covered barge while the Palace of Westminster is being renovated.
This $32-million home’s backyard is every child’s dream, complete with in-ground trampoline, tennis court and its own gigantic waterpark.
NHL hall of famer goalie Patrick Roy has put his Colorado home – including all his furniture and even his pots and pans – on the market for $1.17 million U.S. Don’t try to lowball him, he won’t listen; he’s got his two Stanley Cup rings plugged in his ears. (VIDEO)
