Strange Real Estate

Tidbits


From ancient history to modern-day marvels, the world of real estate is filled with interesting stories. The million-dollar industry has thousands of perplexing, oddball and downright weird facts and informational tidbits.  

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a first-time homebuyer, you may find the following real estate data interesting. Read along for a few included in this article but click HERE to see a full list.

Did you know that there is a secret apartment at the top of the Eiffel Tower? Gustave Eiffel, the chief engineer, originally built this small apartment to be used as a private office. 

A study by Zillow found that homes with black front doors sold for an average of $6000 more than homes with doors of other colors. 

Shockingly enough, the San Juan Islands don't have the most real estate agents per capita--that stat is held by the state of Florida.

 Finally, a recent survey conducted found that 10% of Americans sold homes due to reported paranormal activities.

Curious About Your Property's Value?

One of the best methods available for prospective sellers to learn their home’s current market value is a CMA, or Comparative Market Analysis. CMA is the term real estate agents utilize when they conduct an in-depth analysis of a home’s worth in today’s market. Click HERE for more information.
