The Property Brothers Point Out a Huge Eyesore Nearly Every Home Has—and How To Hide It
Property brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott know that kitchens and primary suites often garner the most attention during a renovation. But on the latest “Brother vs. Brother,” they prove that it’s those extra spaces that can truly make or break whether a home makes a lasting impression.
On the episode “Extra Spaces Showdown,” the Scott brothers redesign the extra bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry space.
“The final spaces of the house are key,” Jonathan explains. “It’s one thing to make kitchens and main suites look phenomenal, but bringing the extra rooms to the next level takes a lot of hard work and creativity.”
Their efforts will be judged by Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson of “Married to Real Estate,” who know plenty about boosting a home’s bottom line as the winners of Season 3’s “Rock the Block.”

Smokin’! Jim Carrey Lists His Spectacular L.A. Mansion for $28.9M
With its tennis court, custom Art Deco theater, and yoga pavilion, Jim Carrey’s luxurious estate is seriously swanky.
After almost three decades, the 61-year-old star is letting go of the 12,704-square-foot home he bought in 1994 for about $3.8 million.

On the House: Is Down Payment Assistance Available to First-Time Homebuyers?
Q: What kind of down payment assistance programs are available to first-time homebuyers?
Who doesn’t love free money—especially when it can help you to afford your first home?
Saving up for a down payment on your first home isn’t fun. About a quarter of first-time buyers rated coming up with that money as one of the most difficult steps of the homebuying process, according to the National Association of Realtors®. And it’s not getting any easier. Inflation and rising rents are whittling away at paychecks, student loan and car payments keep coming due, and there always seems to be some sort of emergency you have to throw money at.
That’s where down payment assistance programs can help.
There are at least 2,000 federal, state, regional, and local programs available across the nation. Some employers even offer them. Many of these are little-known programs typically offered by government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private lenders and can put anywhere from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars into the hands of homebuyers.
