It is located just southwest of Minneapolis in Hennepin County, and, according to the city’s website, has a population of 47,425. But maybe not for one couple. Well, it’s not really where they are living, but where they can’t yet go. They have been trying to sell their house for ten months, but still no buyer. Figuring that bad publicity is better than no publicity, and in order to bring attention to the matter through one of the greatest viral news venues today, they put up a website and called their home “Worst House in Edina”. Well, it is getting the attention of lots of people, including myself. I actually discovered this Edina-based website by reading one of my favorite fellow bloggers, Sellsius Real Estate Blog. After perusing the Edina website, I’m not sure that I wouldn’t want to buy that house. If not for a rental, it looks like a cozy little doll house. Not too bad for a starter home.

Why would somebody want to be the person that bought the ugliest house in Edina? They need a new real estate agent if its been that long. I agree with the auction idea, just get real crazy and put it up for 99 cents and see what happens...
