If the \u201ckickoff\u201d of football season and the baseball playoffs have not put you in an autumnal mood yet, perhaps this will!\u00a0 A man in California took the blue ribbon at the <\/span>Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival<\/span><\/a> for growing a <\/span>1,704-pound pumpkin<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 I wonder how many <\/span>traditional pumpkin pies<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that would make?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking of the season\u2026 Realtor.com<\/a>\u00a0put together a list of homes that have recently been on the market that have a certain spook factor.\u00a0Would you buy a home with its own graveyard? For the right buyer, that could be just the right selling point!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\"Would
Would you buy a home with its own graveyard?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Forbes came out with its list of America\u2019s <\/span>most expensive zip codes<\/span><\/a>. New York City suburb Alpine, New Jersey tops the list with a median home price of $4,295,000. Interested in what <\/span>$1 million<\/span><\/a> will buy in these cities? Check it out! \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Those with a smaller budget and living in thinly populated states have a higher homeownership rate than in \u201cstates with expensive homes and large cities,\u201d <\/span>24\/7 Wall Street<\/span><\/a> found. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in a global perspective, check out this <\/span>infographic<\/span><\/a> that compares the <\/span>cost of real estate around the world<\/span><\/a>. The cost for square foot in Santiago, Chili comes in lowest and Paris, France tops the list as the priciest. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fake out? Staging a home to sell is very important especially as competition is fiercer than ever with high supplies. \u00a0Sellers who have less of a budget than before to stage should consider fake furniture. \u00a0<\/span><\/span>Informed Space<\/span><\/a> has introduced a new line of beds, couches and tables that are made of white plastic to \u201cinform\u201d a space. Interesting concept!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Switching gears now to bicycles, no pun intended. For a while, many environmentalists have been making the case for the two-wheel ride over a gas-guzzling automobile. According to an article in <\/span>The Wall Street Journal<\/span><\/a>, at Oregon Manifest’s national bicycle design competition, innovators showed off prototypes they hope would become major players in the commuting world.\u00a0 Is your area conducive to a cyclist-transit?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
