How bad is the housing bubble burst? THIS bad.

Just when you thought the real estate market couldn’t get any more desperate:

I don’t know who to feel more sorry for - the person posting the ad or the sucker who buys a house in metro Phoenix, Arizona, where prices are falling on average about 30%. I guess it depends on whether you think US citizenship is worth $595K.

Wow. That is desperate.

I still haven’t sold mine, but wow I can’t imagine going to this length. BUT, if people are looking in the Boston Metro area I do have a fine little house for sale at http://www.milfordhouseforsale.com

What scares me most about this is I wonder if they’d go through with it or not. Crazy….

He could have at least posted a picture of himself for the new family to know what they are getting into. Heh. No consideration.

Finally, a business opportunity that combines the viral marketing potential of dating and real estate. How long till multiple listing services add “House & Spouse” to their categories? Can you imagine what a creative auctioneer could do with this? Knew we were on the right track when we registered http://www.housepersonals.com.

And of course, the fact that he’s been so blatant about it means the INS would almost certainly disallow the immigration request.

Re-reading the listing, I wonder if this is actually an INS sting.
