Everybody knows that the housing market is struggling right now, so it's entertaining to hear about some of the bright ideas people have to get their home sold. There are some creative minds out there.....
The Sinclairs, who live in Oregon, were finding it impossible to sell their beach house. Tired and frustrated, the decided to get creative and hold an essay contest. Entrants are charged a $200 application fee to submit an essay on why they deserve to win the house. The Sinclairs need to get 3000 entries to cover the value of the house and the fees associated with the contest. So far they only have about 360 essays, but they're hoping to reach their goal by the end of April. Considering the weather has been pretty miserable in that part of the country over the last few months, I can't imagine there are a lot of buyers eager to purchase up there right now. I'm not expecting the Sinclairs to reach their goal, but I do wish them luck and give them kudos for using their imagination!
