I had a deal fall apart last month because the buyer's mom "had a bad dream" about the house. We're talking accepted offer, earnest money deposited, inspection passed with flying colors, appraisal came in at value. Everything was perfect. Then three days before closing, my buyer calls me sobbing and says her mother dreamed that the basement flooded and ruined her grandmother's antique furniture. The house doesn't even have a basement. It's a slab foundation. I pointed this out, thinking surely logic would prevail. Nope. The mom doubled down and said the dream was "symbolic of hidden problems" and threatened to disown her daughter if she went through with the purchase. My buyer walked away, lost her earnest money, and I got to explain to my seller why we were back on the market because of a nightmare about a room that literally does not exist. The seller's agent called me three times to confirm this was real. I wish I was creative enough to make this up. I've started asking buyers upfront if any relatives have prophetic dreams. Only half joking.
