Yes indeed there is yet another house being raffled for $100 per chance. Remember the SanMar House Raffle? That was a smashing success raising over $200,000 for the SanMar Children's Home while allowing the sellers to get the $380,000.00 for which the home was appraised. This time the 2900sf home belongs to a NJ woman who is raffling the home on eBay. From WCBSTV.com:
Looking for a house in New Jersey? How about four bedrooms, a huge living area, cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace for, say, $100?
"One hundred dollars, yes," owner Sharon Hart said.
Say hello to Hart and her 2,900 square-foot ranch home in Willingboro, which admittedly could use a coat of paint, but is now available on eBay, she says, for the rock-bottom price of $100.
The obvious question: Why?
"Well … I had the house on the market for about two-three years. It's not selling so I need to get rid of the house. I cannot afford it anymore," Hart said.
Now of course there is a catch. Not a big one, but a catch nonetheless.
"The house is being raffled off," Hart said.
That's right. Hart says the house will be sold via raffle on eBay -- $100 per entry. And who knows how many hundreds or thousands of people are competing for it?
When asked how much money – or entries – she needs, Hart said, "About 2,000 people to purchase the tickets. To pay the mortgage off."
If Hart doesn't get what she wants, she says she'll keep the crib and return everybody's money. If she does, she says somebody will be getting a house – for a C-note.
Hart says the raffle will be drawn on May 1.
Good luck Ms. Hart. Several people from across the country have emailed me and commented on TrueGotham that they too would like to raffle their homes. Both of these seem like viable options but I have a strong preference for the SanMar way where a charity benefits from the sale as well.
Are we going to see a trend here?

另一桩房屋抽签买卖
是的, 确有其事,又有一桩房子要进行抽签出售了,100美元一次机会.还记得
圣三月的房屋抽签出售吗?那次巨大的成功为
圣马儿童之家募集到了20万美元的善款,并且根据对房屋估价,让卖家获得了38万美元的收益.这次2900平方英尺的房屋,将由一位来自
新泽西的女士在eBay上进行抽签出售. 消息来源
WCBSTV.com:
你正在新泽西寻觅房子吗?那么一套拥有4间卧室,1个宽敞的起居空间,类似大教堂的天花板以及一座石头壁炉的屋子,100美元,觉得怎么样?
"100美元,确实是." 房屋主沙伦 海特说.
和海特和她那间位于威灵伯勒的2900平方英尺的房子打个招呼吧.她说,这间房子本来是要被装修的,但是,现在被放在了eBay上出售,并且,以最低价100美元出售.
问题显然来了:"为什么要这样呢?"
"恩......我的房子已经在市场上挂牌了大概2,3年了.还是没有卖出去,所以我需要尽快脱手.我实在养不起它了."海特说道.
在眼前,这套房子显然是个诱惑.虽然不是很大,但毫无疑问是非常吸引人的.
"房子要被抽签出售咯"海特说道.
是的.海特说这套房子将在eBay上通过抽签出售的方式出售--100美元一次抽签机会.谁知道会有多少人,说不定成千上百人蜂拥竞争呢?
当被问及她需要多少钱--或者多少个参与者时,海特说道:"大约需要2000个人来购买抽签票.这样才能还清抵押贷款."
如果金钱数额没有达到海特所预期的目标,海特表示,她会保留房子,并归还大家所有的钱.如果她得到了所预期的款额,那么,就有人将得到一套房子--以100美元的价格.
海特说,抽签活动将会在5月1日举行.
祝愿海特女士好运. 全国范围内已经有几个人发邮件给我,也在TrueGotham留言说他们也想抽签出售他们的房子.这些看上去似乎都是可成立的,不过我偏向于像圣三月这样的方式,在销售的同时做些慈善收益.
我们是不是将从中看到了某些趋势呢?
