Stranger-than-fiction stories, prehistoric surprises, housing market shifts — and the Viking chant that named your junk email folder.

Kick off your weekend with this mix of the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully useful. Whether you're dealing with fossil frogs, grizzly reintroductions, or buyers still circling at 6.7%, this one's got it all.

📌 This Week’s Lineup:

📉 Home sales are at 1995 levels — but buyers are stirring
🦈 Prehistoric sharks surface in a Kentucky cave
🐙 Octopuses build underwater condo communities
🥤 Coca-Cola's sweet sugarcane shake-up
🧠 Sayings you use every day (with hilariously weird origins)
🐸 Kermit the fossil frog makes science adorable
🐻 California’s grizzly rewilding scheme — what could possibly go wrong?
🧃 The Monty Python sketch that gave us “spam”

🏚️ 1. Back to 1995 — But Buyers Are Stirring

Sales of new single-family homes dropped to their lowest June level since 1995, and condo sales are at their lowest since 1973. But the story doesn’t end there.

📈 Buyer activity is warming up — HousingWire’s Logan Mohtashami reports:

“PURCHASE APPS ARE UP 16% FROM THE SEASONAL LOW, AND WE’VE HAD 5 POSITIVE PRINTS IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS.”

📊 Market Outlook:

Zillow predicts 2025 home sales will reach ~4.16 million
NAR had projected up to 4.5 million, but that was based on 6.0% rates — with current rates at 6.7%, expect closer to 4.2 million
Inventory is rising, giving buyers more choices and room to negotiate

📣 Talking point:
“Interest may be high, but so is buyer curiosity. Acting now could mean better deals and less competition.”

📌 Pro Tip for Agents:
Use this data to motivate buyers:

“WE’RE SEEING APPLICATION VOLUME INCREASE — SERIOUS BUYERS ARE GETTING READY TO STRIKE.”
