Fake or AI-edited listing photos mislead buyers and renters by showing a property in an unrealistically perfect condition that doesn't match reality. Advanced AI tools can digitally renovate rooms, hide flaws, or even generate entirely artificial images of a home, leading to false expectations. When Metro Detroit home seekers arrive in person, they may find smaller rooms, visible wear and tear, or missing features that were masked or enhanced in the photos. This gap between online listings and real-life homes causes disappointment and erodes trust in the real estate process.

Downtown Detroit is buzzing, and not just from construction noise. As the long-awaited skyscraper rises on the old Hudson’s department store site, details are emerging about its ultra-luxury condos, and they’re turning heads across the city.

The small white Hunter House diner has been a Birmingham icon since 1952.
