Desperate owner slashes price of Georgia home to $1

t can be hard to sell a home. That’s why after trying to sell a home in Hawkinsville, Georgia, for nearly four years, its owners decided to drop the price to just $1. The two-bedroom, one-bath home is owned by Butler County — in the state of Ohio — which originally listed the house at 235 Dooley St. for $8,000 in 2015.

So in a desperate attempt to get the dilapidated home off the books, the county commissioners decided on the reduced asking price of one greenback. “I just have a wild idea, what if...
