This is not the first article I've read about a house in Michigan selling for a dollar, or a hundred dollars. Unfortunately it seems like some areas near Detroit (not sure where Saginaw is) have been hit hard by the economy. |

Here's an article from August about another house that sold for a dollar - in Detroit. It states that some abandoned homes in Detroit sell for $100, and vacant lots sell for $300. |

A possible steal indeed unless the house is full of toxic mold - making it a liability rather than an asset. |

Rob's post is pretty funny (note he didn't cite where he found this article), but the situation with housing is really sad. I know people close to me who are painfully feeling the effects of the housing bubble. |

I've been saying for some time that Rob flies way under the radar here with his troublemaking. His latest salvo is brilliant -- but sheer trouble. Clearly, he cannot be stopped; you can only hope to contain him. |
