What Does a Buck Seventy-Five Get You? A House in Saginaw, MI

By: Diane Tuman, Zillow Content Manager | October 2, 2008

We have seen our share of houses that have sold for cheap: There’s the Detroit, MI house that sold for $1, there’s the Ferndale, WA house for $10, there’s the Grand Rapids, MI condo raffle for $100 and now we have another deal for $1.75. For a winning eBay bid of $1.75, a Chicago woman won herself a home in Saginaw, MI. Is that a bargain? Well, she will have to pay $850 in back taxes and yard cleanup costs. And, from the looks of this house, she will need to sink lots more into it to make it livable and saleable.

Take a look at some other photos of the house.

    I think that one could use a renovation loan.
