Before buying my house we made the seller install an interior french drain and sump pump. The water has never been bad enough for the pump to kick on.

And given the market has started to transition back to a buyer's market, you might have a shot at getting a few of these things. But french drains can be pricey. And my parents have had so much trouble with their sump pump and the resulting flooding...hearing "sump pump" immediately gives me nightmares

Exactly. In a lot of houses it looks like a lot of water but really isnt. Maybe a few buckets very thinly spread out.
