Shocking Forclosure Story in Newtown, PA (near Philadelphia)...

By
Real Estate Agent with McCarthy Real Estate PA# RS294585

Between home searches on the MLS, I had a couple extra moments this morning to check out some listings on craigslist.

Honestly, I was really looking for a playhouse for my son and typed in "house" in a section that I did not expect to see this word: FORCLOSURE!

I can't seem to escape it! It is everywhere - even in the toy section. FORCLOSURE!So it seems even Barbie's Dreamhouse is being forclosed on! What a pity.

This is the "story" that accompanied the listing: "Barbie's spending habits have gotten the better of her. Due to imminent threat of foreclosure, she has to put her dream house up for sale."

Barbie's a smart girl for putting her house up for sale. It's much better than it getting forclosed on. Hopefully Barbie will find a nice condo somewhere, maybe in Villiage Shires, since she can get a cute little condo on the cheap.

Too bad about the Dream House though. On the bright side, it will be recycled and loved by another Dream House covet-er. Hopefully in time for the holidays.

Looking for your Dream House? Or just a modest condo?

I thought Barbie was super rich? Even toys are in this whole mortgage mess, too funny.

Ilyce, I thought so too - and someone in my office really is going to buy the dreamhouse. That's even funnier to me.

Mike, So did I! She's a marketing guru don't you know!
