Lovers of low-priced real estate found plenty to fall for this week, but many of the best deals came with a catch.
This week’s most popular home on Realtor.com® is on the market in Delaware for just $155,000. There’s just one sizable caveat—the modest ranch home was owned by a hoarder, and the evidence is hip-high in most of the rooms in the home.
Real estate gawkers couldn’t help but share the trash-strewn photos of the decrepit dwelling, which is being sold as is. Whoever buys it will need to prep for a large cleanup and remediation project.
Aside from that sad situation, you also clicked on a roomy family home in Illinois, recently fully remodeled, that is available for just $250,000.
That sounds like a sweet deal, if you don’t mind that the entire house, inside and out, is painted pitch-black. We’re not sure how much primer it would take to change the color of the interior walls, much less the custom black tile.
There’s also an antique Italian Renaissance mansion with 9,600 square feet in Ohio with a list price that equates to a measly $28 per square foot. However, there are no listing photos of the interiors, which suggests that they may require some work.

1. 8707 Bacons Rd, Laurel, DE
Price: $155,000
Why it’s here: When the listing details mention “sweat equity,” a buyer must be prepared for the worst. And this brick three-bedroom home fits the bill.
A full-on hoarder situation was afoot for years, and the listing photos show room after room crammed with garbage and grime. There’s a car in the garage with a layer of dirt that must be seen to be believed.
It’s no shock the place is being sold as is. For a buyer with some experience in rehabbing in a hazmat situation, this place might have potential. Look at the photos if you dare, and judge for yourself.
