👻 29% of prospective homebuyers say they would be MORE likely to buy a haunted house.

Yes, really. 😳

According to a Zillow® survey, 29% said a haunted house would make them more likely to buy, while only 33% said nothing could convince them to buy a home they would have to share with spirits.

So, apparently, a few buyers are looking for a little extra spirit in their next home, while others are drawing a very firm line at the front door.

Be honest… would YOU buy a haunted house?

👻 Absolutely! I love a house with a story.
😱 Not a chance. I like my homes spirit-free!

🏡 What gets buyers' attention isn't always what gets sellers more money.

Exposed beams, brick walls, and open shelving may make a home stand out online, but some less flashy features are associated with higher sale prices. 👀💰

So, before investing in upgrades to prepare your home for sale, it is worth knowing which features buyers are drawn to — and which ones may actually influence what they are willing to pay.

The takeaway? Trendy does not always mean valuable.

Thinking about selling? A little research before renovating could help you make smarter decisions about where to invest.

📊 Florida Real Estate Market Update | August 2026

Compared to August 2025, here is what the latest Florida Realtors® data tells us:

🏡 Buyer activity softens slightly
• Pending sales: 22,522 (-2.8%)
• Closed sales: 21,497 (-1.4%)

💰 Home prices continue to rise
• Median sale price: $415,000 (+1.2%)
• Average sale price: $607,238 (+3.8%)

⏱️ Homes are selling faster
• Time to contract: 44 days (-13.7%)
• Time to sale: 84 days (-6.7%)

📉 Inventory remains below last year's levels
• Active listings: 94,610 (-13.0%)
• Months' supply: 4.3 months (-18.9%)

Bottom line: Florida's housing market showed a mixed picture in August. Closed and pending sales dipped slightly compared to a year ago, while home prices continued to appreciate and homes moved more quickly from listing to contract and closing. Inventory remains significantly below last year's levels, with 4.3 months of supply compared to 5.3 months in August 2025, below the traditional 5.5-month balanced-market benchmark.

For buyers and sellers alike, accurate pricing, realistic expectations, and strong negotiation strategies remain essential in today's market.

You got Tidewater. Now what? 👀

First: do not panic. Tidewater does not mean the appraisal is already low.

It means the VA appraiser believes the property may not support the contract price and is giving the appropriate parties an opportunity to provide additional market information before the appraisal is completed.

This is where preparation matters.

Focus on:
✔️ Strong, relevant comparable sales
✔️ Recent sales that are truly comparable
✔️ Similar size, condition, location, and features
✔️ Relevant market information the appraiser may not have considered

And avoid:
❌ Sending a pile of weak comps
❌ Trying to convince the appraiser to hit the contract price
❌ Assuming Tidewater = low appraisal
❌ Immediately jumping into renegotiation

The goal is simple: give the appraiser relevant information—not a sales pitch.

Save this post. If you work with VA buyers, there is a good chance you will need it eventually.

📊 Florida Real Estate Market Update | July 2026

Compared to July 2025, the latest Florida Realtors® data shows a market continuing to gain momentum, with increased sales activity and continued price appreciation.

🏡 Sales activity is up

• Pending sales: 23,642 (+2.4%)
• Closed sales: 23,870 (+5.1%)

💰 Prices continue to rise

• Median sale price: $425,000 (+3.7%)
• Average sale price: $643,120 (+11.3%)

⏱️ Homes are reaching contract slightly faster

• Median time to contract: 47 days (-2.1%)
• Median time to sale: 88 days (0.0%)

📉 Inventory remains below last year's levels

• Active listings: 97,741 (-13.4%)
• Months' supply: 4.5 months (-16.7%)

What does this mean?
Florida's market continues to show improvement in transaction activity and home prices, while inventory remains meaningfully below year-ago levels. At 4.5 months of supply, the market remains below the 5.5-month benchmark traditionally considered balanced.

For real estate professionals, buyers, and sellers, the takeaway is straightforward: pricing, preparation, and negotiation still matter. The market may be healthier than it was a year ago, but that doesn't mean every property, or every segment of the market, is moving at the same pace.
