Interesting ad seen in a Washington DC real estate website.

The reason I put a question mark in the thread title, is because it should have been listed as "For Sale by Custodian".

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.

Maybe the people should have the right to decide as to whether or not it goes up for sale. This sounds strange to me....
