This is the lead statement in the general comments of a property first offered for sale on February 5, 2008. Act quickly!! Offers will be accepted until February 20th 2008. I have to ask myself, “Why should I act quickly?” It would seem to me that I have at least two weeks to get over there. Most of us can understand a ...

  The “smallest house in Toronto,” measuring just 300 square feet is being offered for sale at $173,000.

It may be dirty, ugly and smelly but according to this website, it also offers “Great bones, and a great location.” Shocking as it may be, there’s something remarkably refreshing about the truthful approach that this agent has taken to marketing this property.

  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  Anyone can sell a house.  Anyone!  If securing a private sale on your home is your only goal you’re likely to find it a snap in this hot Saskatoon real estate market. Take this lovely little Fairhaven, Saskatoon home for example.
