It can take a lot to get your home listing noticed by perspective buyers, but smart advertising will definitely help it get seen faster.
That’s the case with a home located at 70 E. Ypsilanti Ave. in Pontiac, Michigan. It’s listed for sale on Zillow right now for $1. That’s right. One. Dollar.
“Introducing the ‘World’s Cheapest Home!’ in the heart of Pontiac, Michigan!” writes listing agent Chris Hubel. “Unleash your inner DIY guru and embrace the challenge of turning this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch into a masterpiece that will make Chip and Joanna green with envy. Priced at a mind-boggling $1 (yes, you read that right), this home is not just a house—it’s a ticket to the real estate adventure of a lifetime.”
The ranch-style single-family home on the city’s northwest side sits on a standard-sized lot and has two bedrooms and one bathroom across its 724-square-foot layout. From the looks of the photos in the listing, the house needs substantial work to become livable, but it’s not in absolute disrepair.
The listing continues: “Step inside and experience the thrilling rollercoaster of emotions as you discover every nook and cranny that’s begging for your creative touch. The roof might have seen better days, but hey, it’s not leaking yet—it’s just keeping you on your toes, providing an unexpected shower of excitement when you least expect it.
“Let’s talk about the unique features that make this place stand out—like the avant-garde ‘floor hole’ art installation conveniently located next to the furnace. Who needs a traditional open-concept layout when you can have an open floor plan thanks to an authentic, unfiltered glimpse into the crawl space?”
According to the property’s price and tax history, it last sold in Feb. 2022 for $4,092 prior to being listed on Aug. 15 for the low, low price of $1. Zillow’s Zestimate feature says the property is valued at $99,700, with an estimated sales range of $80,000-$120,000. Zillow lists that 2022 taxes for the property were only $769, but properties are always assessed in a year following a sale, so the next owner can expect a weightier tax bill in the future, especially if the home is immediately improved through renovations.
