these folks are dead serious about selling their house.
WEXFORD, Pa. (AP) - It's the deal of a lifetime. Bob and Ricki Husick of Pittsburgh are offering anyone who buys their home a full refund when they die. The Husicks have been trying to sell their suburban home for almost a year, but have failed to do so in the current shaky market.
Some area homeowners have lowered prices, offered free trips and tried a variety of other gimmicks, but the Husicks came up with their own unique incentive.
The couple have no heirs and built the house in 1993. They want $399,900 for the four-bedroom, 3 1/2-bath home, which is located about 20 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Under the Husicks' offer, the buyer would get the sale price back when they die.
Wait, there's more: If the buyer agrees to care for the couple in old age, he could also inherit their retirement home in Arizona.
"Why not go for the works? So if we're worth $2.5 million, you get it all," said Husick, 55.

I wonder if this is true. Can't find it on Snopes.

Came from the The Associated Press... not sure if that would make it real or not but it has also been on other news sites.

I've actually gotten a couple of responses. and a couple are watching it on their watch list. It is a different market out there.
