NASCAR Cup Series driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has sold his 9,100 square foot estate in Mooresville, North Carolina, for an impressive $12.2 million, which is nearly three times the amount he paid for it in 2013.
Stenhouse Jr. has been making news lately, especially after his second clash with Carson Hocevar in Mexico. The Hyak Motorsports driver threatened Hocevar for making contact during the race. However, things appear to be going smoothly for Stenhouse Jr. off the race track.
The Wall Street Journal broke the news of Stenhouse Jr.'s real estate sale near Lake Norman, an area where several NASCAR drivers reside due to the close proximity to Charlotte Motor Speedway. Before Stenhouse Jr., the property was owned by NASCAR drivers Ernie Irvan and Joe Nemechek.

Daniel Suarez, driver of the #99 Telcel Chevrolet, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., driver of the #47 Fun Pops Chevrolet, race during the NASCAR Cup Series Viva Mexico 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 15, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico. MoreAfter making the purchase in 2013 for $3.8 million, Stenhouse Jr. and his family made changes to the property's backyard, adding two swimming pools and a cabana. However, with the property already sold, it is reported that Stenhouse Jr. and his wife, Madyson Stenhouse, have purchased land next to the previously owned property, spanning 160 acres, where they plan to build a house.
The reason for the real estate sale is not known, but it is noteworthy that the property was offered for sale in 2022 for $15.995 million. According to Josh Tucker of Corcoran HM Properties, a buyer made a strong offer for cash that was difficult for the Stenhouses to refuse. The buyer's identity remains hidden, but it is confirmed that he is not a NASCAR driver.
Speaking of Lake Norman, NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr.'s private European-style home has been on sale in the same area for $7.5 million. The approximately 14,000 square foot property sits on a 4.82-acre land parcel.
Listed on Zillow, the property features 5 bedrooms and 9 baths. There's also plenty of space for parking cars and a garage to work on them. Not to forget a gym, theater, custom bar, and game area, or the infinity pool and a private dock with a boat lift outside. Newsweek Sports reported the listing, which stated:
"Home to NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr., this private European-style estate on Lake Norman offers over 14,000 sq ft of luxury living on almost 5 gated, waterfront acres. A tree-lined drive leads to a stunning main house, carriage house with guest apartment, and expansive workshop/garage.
"The main home features a grand living room with soaring ceilings and lake views, a chef's kitchen, formal dining, and a main-level primary suite with a spa bath and 2-story closet. Upstairs offers en-suite guest rooms and a second office with a loft. The finished basement includes a custom bar, theater, gym, and game area. Outside, enjoy a resort-style infinity pool, waterfall, fire pit, and private dock with boat lift.
"A detached garage with finished space above adds even more flexibility. This home is perfect for a car enthusiast, with ample amount of garage spaces and workshop. An entertainer's dream and rare waterfront offering—experience luxury lake living with a championship pedigree."

NYC's new broker fee law already being flouted by sneaky real estate agents, tenants say: ‘Exploiting a loophole'
Well this is just un-FARE. Sneaky New York City landlords have been using tricky tactics to get around a new law that bans them from charging broker fees to renters, The Post has learned. Advertisement Some prospective renters have reported being faced with thousands of dollars in 'management' or 'technology' fees — that look awfully similar to those previously charged by landlords to pay for real estate brokers. 'They're exploiting a loophole in the law,' said Todd Roulich, a tenant broker in New York, of landlords and agents. 6 Some New York renters are still shelling out thousands of dollars in fees for real estate brokers they didn't hire, The Post has learned. Paul Martinka Advertisement Others have reported being told to sign forms stating that they were the ones to hire the broker — even when that wasn't true. The so-called FARE Act — or Fairness in Apartment Rental Expenses — prohibits renters from being charged a 'broker fee' — which is typically about 15% of the annual cost of a unit. But the city Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, the agency responsible for enforcing the FARE Act, told The Post it has received nearly 300 'questions and complaints' about violations of the new law since it went into effect June 11. 6 One Zillow listing demands a security deposit, one months' rent and a 'service/broker fee.' r/NYCapartments/KittyInaPinkHoodie Advertisement 6 'I'm trying to apply for an apartment, and the broker said to apply I need to hire him as my broker to represent the application,' one Reddit user said, 'which of course includes a broker fee.' ZJL Studio – Queens native Kelly McGarry told The Post she met brokers at two different apartment showings this month — both of which used sneaky methods to try to collect a fee. McGarry, 27, reported that each one of the agents she met with tried to get her to sign paperwork saying she hired them, even though she hadn't. 'I've applied for apartments in the past before, and I've never had to verify anything … of that sort,' McGarry said. 'They knew the FARE Act was coming, and they were prepared to do what they could to get around it.' Advertisement One Zillow listing for an apartment in Bayside, Queens blatantly reads: 'For compensation as 'Service/Broker Fee', you as Renter agrees to hire Jack as Broker [sic].' 6 'With the FARE Act going into effect June 11, landlords will be prohibited from passing on the fees of real estate brokers they have retained to prospective tenants,' DCWP said in a statement. Christopher Sadowski Another listing, in Brooklyn's Prospect Lefferts Gardens, even appeared to ask for a security deposit and first months' rent as a mysterious lump sum of $5,040 — followed by $1,800 each additional month. Reports of similar underhanded schemes also abound on Reddit, with one disgruntled tenant writing: 'Some places we reach out [to] … makes us agree to 1 month payment of fees if we sign a lease with them, and they won't show without it.' 'I'm trying to apply for an apartment, and the broker said to apply I need to hire him as my broker to represent the application. which of course includes a broker fee,' another user said. Other agents appear to be even more bold, with one Reddit user posting a StreetEasy listing that outright asked for a $3,500 broker fee – despite the website's own disclaimer that 'under NYC law, you can't be charged a broker fee if you didn't hire a broker.' 6 One Reddit user posted a breakdown of fees they were charged post-FARE Act enactment, including a $3,500 broker fee due at signing. r/NYCapartments/maraxlee 'I'm pretty sure thru FARE we don't have to pay this broker fee,' the user wrote. 'The issue is we desperately need this place lol.' Advertisement The Dept. of Consumer and Worker Protection said when the law went into effect that 'landlords will be prohibited from passing on the fees of real estate brokers they have retained to prospective tenants' under the FARE Act. 'Landlords and their agents will be unable to pass their brokers' fees on to a prospective tenant after the effective date of this law, even if a lease was signed before the effective date,' the agency said in a statement. Some tenants may become even more desperate in the coming months according to The Real Deal, which reported that some landlords are already looking to raise rents to offset costs associated with hiring a broker themselves. 6 A November rally for the FARE Act, with council member Chi Osse speaking. Paul Martinka Advertisement Allia Mohamed, CEO of real estate website Openigloo, deemed that sneaky agents and landlords attempting to ignore and try to work around the law are simply a part of a 'very natural correction period' and that the matter will stabilize when bad actors are disciplined. 'What is really important is for renters to understand their rights when it comes to the FARE Act,' Mohamed said, and 'making sure that they're taking screenshots, saving links, keeping receipts, filing those complaints until we get through this correction period.' City council member Chi Osse, who introduced the legislation last year, urged New Yorkers to report agents and landlords who continue trying to charge a broker fee to tenants. Advertisement 'If you see an online listing that says a broker is working as a prospective tenants' broker, they're lying,' Osse said. 'They posted with landlords' permission, so they're working for the landlord.' To file a complaint regarding a FARE Act violation, consumers can visit or call 311.
