Canary-Yellow Florida Manse Assaults Senses, Wants $17M | Armonk Real Estate

-




Location: Lantana, Fla.
Price: $16,995,000
The Skinny: The eye-scorching canary yellow exterior is just the beginning with this home in an exclusive gated neighborhood on South Florida's Hypoluxo Island; within these walls lies room after room of diabolically decorated interiors, revealed layer by layer like a Russian nesting doll of bad taste and worse furniture. The Florida room sets the tone with an unbelievably on-the-nose turquoise-and-blue color scheme accented with—you guessed it!—a mounted fish. The aforementioned blue makes another half-hearted appearance on an accent wall in the dining area, before withering away in the face of the color-devouring bleached-out whites of the kitchen. The bedroom is perfect for Strawberry Shortcake or someone who's working their way through a Goodreads list of the top 100 romance novels in the Kindle store, the bathroom is a bewildering hall of mirrors, and the rest of the house gives up and settles for brown walls and a couple of turquoise accent pillows. It's asking $16.995M.

U.S. Bancorp Said to Join PNC in Talks on Mortgage Settlement Jeff Kowalsky/Bloomberg Mortgage servicers typically handle billing and collections, as well as foreclosures when borrowers fail to pay. Neil Brazil , a spokesman for HSBC’s North America unit, said in an e-mail that the London-based lender has conducted “preliminary discussions with its bank regulators and other

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

-
Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10. The Hitwise rankings don't tally mobile app users, an increasingly popular option among consumers conducting listing searches. But they still provide a window into who's winning the battle for eyeballs -- an important consideration for brokers and agents in deciding where to spend their marketing dollars.
