Quick Glance: A South Bay Couple's Journey to Find Their First Home Amid Expecting a Baby
- Nishant Singh and Apeqsha Dudani decided to purchase a $1.5 million home in the Bay Area upon learning they are expecting a daughter in July. Despite high interest rates and fierce market competition, their budget ranged between $1.3 and $1.5 million.
- Prioritizing a single-family home with at least three bedrooms and space for parental visits in a good school district, they opted for a $1,339,000 house in South San Jose after considering various options in San Jose and Fremont.
- Although initially aiming not to spend more than $1.5 million, an offer of $1.625 million allowed them to secure the house. Despite the higher price, they achieved a $1,200 monthly savings on the mortgage and look forward to preparing their new home for their daughter.
- Two weeks after moving in, they are still adjusting to homeownership and plan to prepare the house for their daughter. Despite initial concerns about distance from friends, they are excited to host events and gatherings, including a baby shower in June.

- Retired Trump executive Allen Weisselberg was sentenced to five months in jail for admitting to lying under oath in a civil fraud lawsuit against the former president by New York’s attorney general.
- Weisselberg pleaded guilty to perjury related to the valuation of Trump's Manhattan penthouse, despite his deep loyalty to Trump and previous jail time for tax evasion.

- Weisselberg's willingness to admit wrongdoing, age, and his role in Trump's organization were considered in his sentence, mirroring a previous case where he served a reduced jail term. He is likely to be involved in Trump's hush money trial, even if not as a witness.
