Live the Lifestyle: This Week’s Featured Properties

(a.k.a. your next dream home.)

On this day…

🎤 Yada Yada Yada... The End. 📺 May 14, 1998

On this day in TV history, millions of people gathered around their boxy living room screens for an epic appointment TV moment. After 9 seasons, 180 episodes, and countless awkward moments, Seinfeld — the show famously about nothing — delivered its something: a quirky, polarizing, and oh-so-Seinfeld finale that had the whole country talking.

Over 76 million viewers tuned in that night. That’s right — more people watched Jerry go to jail than voted in some elections. Whether you loved it, hated it, or still don't get the appeal of Newman (NEWMAN!), one thing’s for sure: Seinfeld changed sitcoms forever — and left us with an endless supply of quotable one-liners, awkward pauses, and a fear of close talkers.

What’s your favorite Seinfeld moment?
