Is the White House For Sale?

As we looked through the latest properties to hit the market this weekend, we came across a rather famous address that is apparently now for sale: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW — aka The White House.

Redfin has the executive lodging listed for $10 million. The 55,000 square-foot property has a price per square foot of $182.

Obviously this is an error. It looks like Redfin software pulled an example listing from the website Owners.com by mistake. That example listing was the White House. We have e-mailed Redfin for comment.

Aside from the price per square foot calculation, the thing that we like best about the listing is that it is for sale by owner.

White House’s Mortgage Help

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Washington Post) – The federal government has placed new requirements on lenders to reduce troubled borrowers’ mortgage payments to no more than 31 percent of their income for up to six months.
Several changes have also been made to the Home Affordable Modification Program. Borrowers in bankruptcy will now be eligible for mortgage relief under the federal program. Lenders will evaluate delinquent homeowners for the program before referring them to foreclosure.
The program will lower monthly payments by reducing mortgage rates to as low as 2 percent for five years and extending loan terms up to 40 years.
To complete the program, homeowners will go through a three-month trial period and provide proof of their income, as well as a letter documenting their financial hardship.
