Part 20 in this list of real estate blog ideas covers everything from ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­covering National issues such as cancer, to the obvious for the month of October, HALLOWEEN.  See how Realtors across the real estate blogosphere are giving content a unique spin with these 10 real estate blog ideas. 200 down, 165 ¼ real estate blog content ideas left to go!

191.  There is such a thing as Cancer Month 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and what better to write about than just that?  Breast Cancer has been a serious matter for all recently.  Create a post explaining what people can do to help, whether it be fundraisers or a walk for Cancer that are being help locally.
Example:  See how Kristin Collins wrote a post on this same subject called The Power of Pink:  Breast Cancer Awareness in San Diego.  She creates a list of things to do for everyone, which is a perfect way to appeal to readers with different interests.

192.  Get into the Halloween spirit 

I would agree with this post I came across that picking out the perfect pumpkin is “the hardest decision to make”.  Normally you go to the same place every year since you were a little kid to pick out the great big pumpkin you are going to carve this weekend with the family.  Create a list of local Churches or businesses selling pumpkins.  Talk about the pricing and what to look for when picking out “the best pumpkin” in the patch!

EXAMPLE:  See how J. Kirby wrote a very simple post on this subject.  Now we all know what is being said in this short post, but remember to expand on ideas to give your readers something to enjoy. 

193.  Glaucoma…it’s still important 

OK so not only is it Breast Cancer Awareness Month but it is also Glaucoma Awareness Month.  Glaucoma affects millions of Americans each year.  Find out if there are any local eye doctor’s offering any specials on eye exams, or any events being held.  Make a list of eye Doctors in the area with phone numbers and addresses, and explain why its so important for people to get checked. 

EXAMPLE:  Heather Kramer wrote a similar post about a health fair in her community.  Health is a very important part of everyday life and going into a new season it is important to know what should be done to prevent any illness throughout your holidays. 

194.  Time Shares are exciting getaways for many 

Time shares have become more popular for people looking to get away for a vacation.  It is a semi cheaper form for vacationing and the types have expanded dramatically.  From condos, town homes, yachts, motor homes, private jets, and much more.  I know we have been saying to create a list for a lot of these ideas, but lists are good.  They are easy to read and simple.  Create a post listing the best time to buy a timeshare, where to buy, and the proper steps to take in choosing a time share. 

EXAMPLE:  See how MSN wrote a post on time shares and how to get the best buy.

195.  I can put a house on layaway? 

Well there’s something I never knew about, and I am sure that many other don’t either.  Your Real Estate blog is informative, and your plan is to let your readers in on everything.  Explain to your readers about installment sales, what are they?  How does it work?  Are they only for certain people?  After you write this post email me so I can read it and find out! 

EXAMPLE:  Michael Giusti explained why they are used and who they are for in a very detailed post called Layaway for home buyers. 

196.  OKTOBERFEST 

Create a post describing what Oktoberfest is.  Give its history, where you can go to participate, etc.  There is so much to cover and you can be the one to do it! 

EXAMPLE:  Check out how Sacramento Real Estate Voice wrote their post. 

197.  The do’s and don’ts of traveling 

So you have covered where to visit what about planning for that trip?  Create a detailed post with a list of things to remember when traveling.  Being organized is very important when planning a vacation, create a checklist (maybe one that a reader can print off your site) that someone can use before leaving for vacation. 

EXAMPLE:  Rooftop Realty explains in depth the most important items you will need as opposed to a list, which is also a great way to write this post. 

198.  New season, new precautions 

We are now in Fall and the weather is changing, well except for here in Florida.  There are many things to do to prepare for the certain weather conditions this month, get them done early so you have no worries later and can enjoy your holidays.  Create a checklist of important things to take care of before it gets too cold outside. 

EXAMPLE:  Each month there are specific things to take care of around the house, and Real Living knows exactly how to show their readers what these items consist of.  Check out their October Checklist. 

199.  Fun, fun, and more fun 

There are so many ideas in this list that are fun, let me give you yet another one.  I came across this Wheel of Fun, and like the writer said it is a “fun link for your site if you are a Realtor”. 

EXAMPLE:  This is something you have to check out for yourself!  Wheel of fun.

200.  Halloween 

Of course I saved this one for last, but you should’ve known it was coming.  There are so many things to talk about in this post.  For instance, here in Florida we have Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando, Howl-O-Scream in Tampa, there are plenty of clubs that have Halloween parties, and the list just goes on.  Also, tell your readers where Halloween came from, who invented this?  A list of new horror movies would suffice too!  There are so many options just pick one and start writing. 

EXAMPLE:  Check out some of the following sites to see how they have conveyed the message of Halloween:
