While most people wish to own a house of their own, it isn’t possible for many considering the exorbitant property rates. However, buzz is that the world’s cheapest house is now available for sale at just $1 (approximately R19)!

The world’s cheapest house is available in Michigan, US, as per media reports. The house, which is located in Michigan’s Pontiac, is up for sale by American real estate company Zillow.

“Introducing the ‘World’s Cheapest Home!’ in the heart of Pontiac, Michigan! 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,” reads a post on Zillow’s website.

The house was built in 1956, and it available to buyers till August 23. It has two bedrooms and a bathroom, with a total structural area of 724 sqft.

“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?

“But wait, there’s more! The garden is a blank canvas waiting for your green thumb to work its magic. Imagine a garden so wild, even Mother Nature would raise an eyebrow. The overgrown shrubbery and exotic weeds lend an air of mystery, inviting local critters for an impromptu garden party.”

It also adds, “So, if you’re a visionary, a risk-taker, or simply someone who thrives on life’s little curveballs, this home is calling your name. Buckle up for a journey filled with twists, turns, and a whole lot of character. Don’t just buy a house— buy an experience.”

The house was previously sold for $4,092 in February 2022.
