Set on 10 riverfront acres outside Nashville, the legendary Dark Horse Estate combines private residences with the world-famous Dark Horse Studios, where artists including Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Neil Diamond, and Alan Jackson have recorded. Designed with dramatic post-and-beam architecture and expansive walls of glass, the compound was built to open itself to the surrounding landscape and water. Now, musician and entrepreneur Robin Crow has listed the iconic property for $24 million, bringing to market one of the more recognizable studio estates tied to Music City’s recording history. Part luxury retreat and part working creative compound, the estate offers a rare chance to own a property with both architectural presence and deep roots in Nashville’s music scene.

Zestimates are calculated based upon third party info fed to it by many third parties including the listing price of a property by a realtor, among other unproven factors. Just like Credit Karma - which is NOT a complete nor factual representation of your credit scores.

The Trump administration is weighing new tax breaks ahead of the midterms — including a change that could make it easier for longtime homeowners to sell.

One idea: raise the capital gains exemption on home sales, which has been stuck at $250K for individuals and $500K for couples for nearly 30 years, even as inflation has more than doubled.

Supporters say outdated limits are leaving some homeowners “stuck” — reluctant to sell because of the tax hit — and keeping much-needed homes off the market.

Luxury living comes at a cost—but that cost varies widely across the U.S., according to new data from Realtor.com.

In New York, a high-end home averages $5.49 million, requiring a minimum annual salary of $1.15 million. Meanwhile, in West Virginia, luxury real estate starts at just $750,000, with an income of $158,000 needed to afford it.

“The price of luxury homes differs significantly across the country,” says Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones. “In states like New York and Hawaii, luxury homes exceed $5 million, while in more affordable states like West Virginia, Iowa, Indiana, and Mississippi, the threshold is under $800,000.”
