Buying A House For $1.75
In what could possibly be the cheapest house ever sold, a woman decided to forgo her morning cup of Starbucks coffee and used that money to buy a house instead!
SAGINAW, Mich. - With a winning bid of just $1.75, a Chicago woman has won an auction for an abandoned home in Saginaw. Joanne Smith, 30, recently was the top bidder for the home during an auction on eBay, The Saginaw News reported. Her bid was one of eight for the home.
“I am going to try and sell it,” she told the newspaper. “I don’t have any plans to move to Saginaw.”
Smith said she hasn’t seen the property or visited Saginaw, which has been hard-hit by economic troubles in recent years.
There’s a notice on the door of the home saying a foreclosure hearing is pending, the newspaper said. She must pay about $850 in back taxes and yard cleanup costs.
What’s amazing is that 7 people bid less than $1.75! God bless Ebay for bringing home ownership to the masses!

There is a little town in Italy that will allow you to buy a house for 1 euro. The only catch is you have to rehab it, but I guess that’s not so bad. Check it out.
