Take a trip back to 1988 and experience the Home Owners Marketplace, a local Tampa Bay TV program where residents could showcase their homes for sale — right on television! This rare 2-minute clip captures a simpler era of real estate, complete with charming on-screen listings and incredible home prices that will make you do a double-take.
Early on there is a commercial break, featuring Jim & Slim’s Tools, a local hardware shop that’s pure small-town nostalgia.
From the graphics to the prices to the local flavor, this short video is a real estate time capsule that shows just how different life (and the market) was in 1988 Florida.
