Are You Dying to Sell Your House?

j0309202So, not only are you not supposed to decorate your house for Halloween (it might scare buyers away!) but now you can go one step further than closing costs:

Bob and Ricki Husick came up with a more creative twist: Whoever buys their four-bedroom, 31/2-bath home on Fountain Hills Drive in Pine would get their money back after the Husicks die.

Not only that, but if the buyers are willing to care for the Husicks in their old age, they could also inherit the Husicks’ retirement home in Arizona for a total estate now worth about $500,000. The couple has no heirs.

Have a happy afterlife!
