You may have found that, while perusing home listings, some have been listed for just a dollar. Why are some properties listed for so little?

Simply put, a home is listed at just a dollar to try and entice more interest from prospective buyers. This strategy ensures that the property will be seen by house hunters with various budgets. This strategy does occasionally see success – take this property for instance, which ended up selling for over $3,000,000, having been listed for just a dollar.

We took a look at a few properties that are currently listed for a dollar this year. Check them out below!
