For most people, real estate deals are made under pressure -- you have to sell fast because you've made an offer on another place, or you're moving to a new city and you don't have time to really indulge your perfectionist streak.

The New York Rangers had a successful regular season in the National Hockey League (NHL), winning the most games and having the best win percentage in overtime. However, their strong performance in overtime may not translate to success in the playoffs, as the rules for overtime are different. In the regular season, tied games go to a five-minute period of three-on-three hockey and then a shootout if necessary. In the playoffs, tied games continue indefinitely, sometimes lasting for multiple overtime periods. The Rangers' strong overtime record may not be a reliable indicator of playoff success, as teams with similar records in the past have struggled in the playoffs. Additionally, winning the President's Trophy, which the Rangers also achieved, has historically been associated with playoff disappointment. [Extracted from the article]

Since 2020, there have been at least 24 such sales in the United States, surpassing the total number of nine-figure sales in the previous decade.

The number of billionaires worldwide has also risen, contributing to the demand for these high-end properties. Luxury home prices have soared, with the median sale price for a luxury home in 2023 being $1.14 million, a 75% increase compared to 2013. The market for trophy homes has also seen a significant increase in value and the number of deals. While New York City and California have historically been major players in the luxury real estate market, Florida has emerged as a new hotspot, attracting wealthy buyers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The artist Joan Sherman works in SoHo surrounded by high-end food purveyors, but her latest inspiration was 17th-century Dutch and Flemish genre painting and those overflowing banquet tables.

Ms. Sherman's ''crustacean gone wild'' was concocted using fragments of lobster shells cast in bronze.
