Why do Canadians buy expensive property in big cities when there are better deals elsewhere?
For about the price of a one-bedroom condo in downtown Toronto, you can own the Italian village of Calsazio, which has been put up for sale on eBay.
Check out photos of Calsazio, an Italian village for sale on eBay:
Located just outside Gran Paradiso National Park, about 80 kilometres from Turin, it is on the market for $356,000.
Its 14 homes have been abandoned, and could cost a pretty penny to fix up, The Daily Telegraph reported. Any restoration must keep the unique appearance of the town intact.
The sellers hope the village can be turned into a tourist attraction.
It's not the first time that a whole town has been put up for sale. Earlier this year, the Spanish village A Barca was offered for free, with the condition that the buyer preserve all of its buildings.
And two years ago, the Tuscan village of Pratariccia was put up on eBay for about US$3.1 million.
It's easy to dismiss a property that can be had so easily, but given what it costs to live in a big Canadian city, we think this charming little village is worth a look.
