Neinor shares soar after it files tender offer to buy rival Aedas
Neinor shares were up 14% in early trading to 15.58 euros - their highest level since February - and on track for their best day ever.
Aedas shares, meanwhile, fell around 9.5% to 24.7 euros, a bit higher than the 24.49 euros offered by Neinor.
Aedas' largest shareholder - private equity firm Castlelake, which owns 79% of the company - already agreed to sell its stake at the offered price.
The transaction is "very positive for Neinor because it is purchasing at a significant discount," broker Sabadell said in a note to investors.
If successful, the takeover would make Neinor the largest residential developer in Spain, giving it control of around 20,200 homes in Aedas' portfolio, mainly in the Madrid region where residential real estate prices are soaring.

Americans are all wanting the same thing as they buy mansions in London's richest neighborhoods at cut prices
Americans are now looking across the pond for homes in London 's richest neighborhoods - and there are certain aspects they can't do without. Over the past eight to 12 months, there has been a 25 percent increase in US homebuyers snatching up properties in the United Kingdom, Camila Dell, the managing partner and founder of Black Brick Property Solutions LLC told Daily Mail. Dell, whose firm frequently helps Americans find their dream London homes, said many buyers are after period architecture and modern homes. Similarly, US buyers are also in search of the 'quintessential English life', Ugo Arinzeh, the founder and Managing Director of Onyx Property Consultants, told Daily Mail. Dell also noted that while many people are drawn to the historic properties, there is a 'real mixture' of US buyers looking for modern homes as well. Arinzeh said she has also noticed American clients looking for a key feature that is not all too common in Europe - air conditioning. The amenity has become such a common interest among American buyers that a lot of homes in England have been adding units to appeal to them, Arinzeh said. Both experts said US buyers have been flocking to specific areas in London, including Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, Hampstead and Knightsbridge. Arinzeh added that many American families have shown interest in St. John's Wood. Although some US buyers pay attention to the home's amenities, they are specifically drawn to places that have shops and parks nearby, according to Dell. Americans are 'much more about the neighborhood' than other aspects, she said. For Arinzeh, her clients have been interested in the area, but that has not been their main focus. She noted that many of the popular neighborhoods all have public locations within about 10 minutes. Americans have also moved to the UK because they don't have to pay annual taxes on their home there. In the US, homeowners have to pay hefty yearly taxes for their properties, but in the UK there is a stamp duty - a one-time tax that is paid when the property is bought. Arinzeh said her American clients 'really appreciate that', especially the ones from high-taxed states like California, New Jersey and New York. US buyers have gravitated to London for homes for several different reasons, according to the realtors. According to Dell, many of her clients have shown interest in secondary or vacation homes while still keeping a property in the states. Meanwhile, Arinzeh said she has seen a lot of Americans permanently move to the UK for immigration and political reasons, and also for work. Her clients often search for their 'base home' in England when they have to travel there for work and travel. Overall, Arinzeh said it's 'a good time to buy' as five to 20 percent of homes are being bought below asking price in London. These luxury neighborhoods are not the only England locations Americans have their eyes on, as many have opted for hunting for properties in the Cotswolds - a charming countryside region that's a scenic 90-minute train ride from London. Cotswolds Council leader Joe Harris said Yankees are now 'all over' the area. 'We have an American member on our council,' he previously told Daily Mail. 'Most people in our area know an American or have an American neighbor.' This is reflected in the footfall at D'Ambrosi's Fine Foods store, which sells classic American snacks it's hard to find anywhere else in the UK.

Four cities where Americans can find a cut-price mansion… for less than a regular home elsewhere
The American dream may be about owning a modest family home with a white picket fence, but some have grander ambitions. For those with dreams of owning their own mansion - defined as a home of at least 5,000 square feet - four cities have emerged as the best place to bag a deal this year. Across the country the median mansion will set you back $1.4 million, but in Buffalo, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Memphis, it could cost less than $1 million, according to a new report from Zillow. In Buffalo, New York, median mansions are available for $825,500, and in Indianapolis, similar-sized homes are on the market for an average price of $965,500. In Cleveland, Ohio, and Memphis, Tennessee, buyers can bag a palatial pad for an average price of $995,200 and $996,700, respectively. Home prices have surged more than 50 percent in the years following the pandemic, and this is notable in the mansion market too. In June 2021, nearly half of all US mansions were valued at less than $1 million, according to Zillow. Today, just 30 percent are under the million-dollar threshold. 'Home prices surged during the pandemic, pushing even starter homes into million‑dollar territory in hundreds of cities,' Kara Ng, senior economist at Zillow, said. She continued: 'Especially on the coasts, champagne tastes require champagne budgets, but in some parts of the country, a million dollars still buys serious square footage. 'More room to roam, including outdoor space, became a must-have during the pandemic, and those preferences have held true.' By contrast, buyers would need a cool $4.5 million for the average mansion in four of California's major metros. The median mansion in San Jose is currently valued at $6.5 million, according to Zillow figures. San Francisco's averagely-priced mansions are listed at $4.9 million, mansions in Los Angeles are $4.7 million and in San Diego they are only slightly cheaper at $4.6 million. Experts at Zillow warned those looking to purchase such a large home should also keep in mind the costs of maintaining it. Larger properties can come with higher property taxes, utility bills and insurance premiums. In addition, Zillow recommends budgeting for annual upkeep of somewhere between 1 to 4 percent of the home's value. It comes as the US housing market is cooling overall with 33 out of the 50 largest metro areas seeing price cuts, and some falling more rapidly than others. The pace and severity of the slowdown varied in July, according to new data from In particular, the South and West shifted decisively in favor of buyers due to rising inventory, deeper price cuts, and homes spending longer on the market. The housing market in the Northeast and Midwest remains steadier. 'The housing market has cooled modestly in 2025, prompting our lowered outlook for home sales and price growth,' said Danielle Hale, chief economist at 'But the extent and persistence of rebalancing really varies across the country, and, regionally, homebuyers and sellers are likely to experience a very different market.'

Western US ranch four times bigger than New York City goes on sale for $79.5M
Here's a home where the Buffalo roam — but you're going to need about $80 million of you want to join them. A giant Western ranch four times bigger than New York City and twice the size of London has hit the market. Central Wyoming 's sprawling Pathfinder Ranches totals over 916,000 acres and includes fully working cattle ranches, a main lodge, and a church. The main home has original hardwood floors, stone and wood walls, and beamed ceilings, and is for sale with local luxury realtor Michael Swan from Swan Land Company. The price tag is a cool $79.5 million. 'The sale of Pathfinder Ranches represents an unprecedented opportunity to own and operate one of few remaining large cattle operations in the American West,' Ryan Lance, President of Pathfinder Ranches, told the Daily Mail. 'Pathfinder represents a piece of our country's pioneering spirit and a chance to make a real contribution to both modern ranching practices and conservation.' The ranches span four counties and cover around 1 percent of Wyoming. The land is nestled between the Ferris, Pedro and Green mountain ranges, and it counts the Pathfinder Reservoir and a section of the Sweetwater River as part of its property. The property is one of the largest working ranches in the Rocky Mountains. The ranch is also home to the nation's first habitat conservation bank for sage-grouse — the largest ever approved by the US Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service. The nine-bedroom, 7.5-bath lodge was designed with an open layout, a full bar, a game room, gourmet kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Ferris and Pedro Mountains. The land hosts 12 ranches in total, hosting approximately 3,400 cows, 180 bulls and 130 saddle horses. The listing reads: 'Pathfinder Ranches is a testament to stewardship. 'Past stewards have worked this ground, building healthy soil, nurturing wildlife habitats, and protecting fragile species such as the greater sage-grouse through thoughtful grazing practices and regenerative efforts. 'This property is a true king maker.' The listing continues: 'The next owner will inherit a legacy, with the chance to make a lasting impact on the land, the industry, the culture, and the state of Wyoming; to experience the simple wealth of clean air and wide-open spaces; and to immediately take their place among the major players in the cattle world.' The ranch's broker, Scott Williams, said a ranch like this is not built overnight, but 'takes generations of grit, vision, and dedication.' 'This legacy property is about impact on the land, the industry, the culture, and the state of Wyoming,' he said. Pathfinder is larger even than the fictional 'Yellowstone' Dutton Ranch from Taylor Sheridan's famous television series, which is somewhere between 775,000 to 825,000 acres. Meanwhile, another Wyoming ranch with ties to Ernest Hemingway listed in early June. Set against the stunning Bighorn Mountains, the ranch Hemingway used as a writer's retreat was listed for $29 million. The historic Spear Ranch, which dates back to the 1800s, is celebrated for its tranquil seclusion, breathtaking vistas and deep ties to both literary and Western heritage. It spans over 300 acres of pristine landscape and includes a 7,500-square-foot New England–style main residence, multiple guest cabins and a collection of rustic outbuildings. A nearby guest retreat is where Hemingway sought solitude and completed the first draft of A Farewell to Arms in 1928. Ranches are all the rage in recent months. In New Mexico, a ranch more than half the size of the state of Rhode Island recently sold after being listed for a nine-figure sum. The 540,000-acre Great Western Ranch was put on the market for $142 million in 2024 by the Horton family, the development dynasty that spent the last decade building the mammoth property. In July, the asking price had dropped to $115 million, but the actual selling price remains unclear.
