If you're looking for some crazy real estate trivia, you've come to the right place.

In this blog post, I'm going to share a GIANT COLLECTION of real estate facts I compiled this past year for a few various guest articles I wrote for Inman and The Lighter Side of Real Estate.

These interesting tidbits were a lot of fun to put together, and they ended up being quite the hit on social media. So in case you missed these original posts when they first hit the scene, hopefully, you'll get a kick out of them right here, right now.

Enjoy!
