Quick Summary

Thierry Henry, former soccer star for Arsenal and FC Barcelona, is trying to sell his luxurious penthouse in New York City's Soho district for $25 million. The 6,086-square-foot residence includes five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two powder rooms, and over 3,400 square feet of private outdoor space. Henry bought the property along with an apartment below it in 2010 for $14.85 million shortly after joining the New York Red Bulls. The couple fell in love with the place on their last viewing before relocating to London when Henry retired from soccer in late 2014, but have now relisted it at a reduced price compared to its previous asking of $26.75 million.

🔮 Residents of the East 61st Street co-op — some of whom are among the wealthiest people in America — last week escaped a highly contested $2 billion buyout that would have forced them from their homes over a proposed renovation to turn their building into a hotel and residence managed by the Dorchester Collection.
🔮 America’s already frozen housing market could be headed for an even deeper chill next year — with Goldman Sachs warning that stubbornly high mortgage rates will keep buyers sidelined and homeowners trapped in their properties.
🔮 “This is a buyer’s market born out of caution, not strength,” Redfin senior economist Asad Khan said in the report. “Buyers have tremendous negotiating power in most of the country because so many other would-be buyers have been priced out of the market, or scared off by economic uncertainty,” he added.
🔮 The attraction may also have financial implications for homeowners.
🔮 Toledo’s relative affordability may help explain its strong showing.
🔮 A multimillion-dollar home may come with sweeping views and lavish amenities — but a top public school rating isn’t necessarily part of the package.
🔮 America’s housing affordability crisis could drag on for at least another five years — and for New Yorkers, the wait could stretch well beyond a decade.
🔮 Chicago may have lost some of its biggest billionaires, but finding an apartment in the Windy City has never been more competitive.
🔮 Erica Terwillegar and her partner, Peter Molinari, are fighting to hold on to their $26,000-a-month condo at one of New York’s most exclusive addresses.
🔮 American homebuyers are increasingly turning to adjustable-rate mortgages as borrowing costs surge — a gamble that could leave some homeowners facing monthly payment increases of more than $1,000.
