Another month down, another chance to help us crown the winner of our next poll. In February, we headed back to South Carolina to tour the most expensive home for sale on Lake Keowee. We also visited a house in Altadena that somehow survived the devastating L.A. area wildfires in January. And to finish up the month, we talked to a French jewelry designer who transformed an abandoned barn into her personal sanctuary. Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

And you thought 8% mortgage rates were terrifying. Our story “Selling a Haunted Home? That’s Between You and the Ghosts” hit a nerve with readers.
