Homes in 30 States That You Can Buy for $1

There is at least one house for sale with a list price of $1 in 30 states.

The Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates, and each subsequent increase has an impact on mortgages. Purchasing a home can take months or years of saving and often requires a hefty downpayment. However, in some cases, a house can be bought for only $1.

A Michigan home recently went viral after being listed for sale for $1 on Zillow, although the home needed some improvement. The description mentioned a hole in the floor and noted overgrown shrubbery and exotic weeds, according to a report by KIRO 7.

The Michigan property isn’t the only listing in the U.S. for a low price of $1, and according to Realtor.com data, there is at least one home in 29 other states with the starting sale price of $1. Many of the homes are up for auction or are part of an estate sale, which means the price could climb much higher depending on the number of bidders. Many of the auctions have strict requirements, such as a minimum down payment or cash-only contracts, and it is unclear what the final price could be after bidding is complete.
