Flint versus Saginaw

Suddenly, Flint real estate prices seem insanely high...compared to Saginaw.

Roberto Acosta of The Saginaw News reports:

"The Saginaw home that hit the housing market at a cut-rate price sold for less than the price of a McDonald's value meal.
"The abandoned home on 1606 Perkins received eight bids on eBay.com and sold for $1.75 Wednesday evening."

"The high bidder was 30-year-old Joanne Smith, of Chicago, Ill.
"'I am going to try and sell it,' she said of the home. 'I don't have any plans to move to Saginaw. I don't have any plans of moving from (Chicago).'"

Thanks to Max for passing this along.
