  • The Real Deal asked a number of residential real estate agents what the strangest thing is that they’ve seen at an open house. The responses ran the gamut from a man crawling into a bed to check out the mattress and dozing off to a broker having to basically carry a client off a railing-less bridge to being chased by a wild boar while showing houses.

    Here is a sampling of what the agents have encountered:

    Andy Weiser, Coldwell Banker, Fort Lauderdale: There is the ordinary finding, the couple having sex in the bedroom. Every realtor worth his salt has seen that. That happens all the time. Some people do that as part of their whole fantasy thing. On a more serious note, it would have to be the guy who crawled into the bed to see what it would be like, and then fell asleep. That’s one of the more bizarre things. Click here for more. Compiled by Alexander Britell

    The drastic recent price drops on oceanfront condominiums in Hollywood and Hallandale exemplify a trend that had the Miami-Dade free-money mindset creeping up into lower Broward County, and now leaving brokers in the area shifting their practices. A recent report by Condo Vultures on oceanfront condo prices shows significant drops at several oceanfront condos in Hollywood and Hallandale. The average price of a condo unit in the Waterways in Hollywood Beach fell 60 percent to under $100,000, and prices at units at Beach Club in Hallandale Beach fell 45 percent, to a little over $300,000, from their original listing prices in 2007. “The Hollywood-Hallandale market was a lot more speculative than the Broward County oceanfront market,” said Andy Weiser, a Coldwell Banker realtor in Fort Lauderdale. “There was also a lot more built in Hallandale and Hollywood than there was in Fort Lauderdale. Because of that, we have two separate markets.”
