A home for sale in the US state of Michigan is making headlines for its price, with one real estate agent proudly proclaiming it as “the world’s cheapest listing”.
The home in Pontiac, located about 48km outside of Detroit, was listed last week for just $US1 or $AU1.50.
The agent, Good Company’s Christopher Hubel, calls it “the world’s cheapest listing” and says the two-bedroom, one-bathroom, 485sqm property could become “a masterpiece”.

“Priced at a mind-boggling $US1 (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 listing states.
“Step inside and experience the thrilling rollercoaster of emotions as you discover every nook and cranny that’s begging for your creative touch.”
Beyond the price of the property and the state of the home’s interior, the listing itself is also drawing attention for its creative sales pitch.
“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,” it reads.
The description goes on to note what it calls the “unique features” of the home, including an “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?” the listing reads.
And then there’s the landscaping.
“Imagine a garden so wild, even Mother Nature would raise an eyebrow,” the listing reads. “The overgrown shrubbery and exotic weeds lend an air of mystery, inviting local critters for an impromptu garden party.
“Whether you’re dreaming of flipping for glory or embarking on a lucrative leasing venture, this home’s potential is as limitless as your imagination.
“Buckle up for a journey filled with twists, turns, and a whole lot of character. Don’t just buy a house — buy an experience.”
Offers on the home, which was built in 1956, needed to be in by August 23. After that, the successful buyer will just need to foot a $1500 agency fee, the listing states.
