Here's one that's kinda funny.


Image
The builder is asking $560,000 for it, despite the fact that the all-but-identical house they built immediately next door .

The really great part is that this one was originally listed at $540,000, but in late October around the time they were closing on the sale of the twin next door, they jacked up the price by $20k.

at just how similar these two houses are.

have them both at 4 beds, 3 baths, 1,444 sqft on the first floor, 1,291 on the second.

Maybe they should just take it off the market for six months--they could re-list in June for $50k more!

When the owners left the house they turned off the heat, leaving the poor chairs to huddle together in the sunlight for warmth.

This one is my favorite. I can't quite figure out if it used to be part of bigger house that got torn down or what. It looks kind of like a shanty to me. Take a look at the interior - the "loft" bedroom is terrifying to me as a 6'6" man.

The sales history is good for a chuckle too:
Sep 20, 2008 Listed $529,950 -- NWMLS #28158461
Jul 17, 2007 Sold $483,500 20.2%/yr Public Records
Sep 30, 2002 Sold $199,950 3.2%/yr Public Records
Nov 15, 1991 Sold $142,000 -- Public Records

Who in their right mind thought that heap of crap is worth $483.5k?

And I don't see a refrigerator in the kitchen photo, which leads me to believe that it may not be stainless steel. So, yes, I will need those smelling salts.
