Topic: [WTS] House (Erie, PA, USA) for Bitcoin (Read 3093 times)
Still on the market. Landscaping has been drastically improved. Exchange rate is pretty solid, so I'd be fine doing GoxLast even if I were subject to significant slippage selling to pay her brother for half the value of the house.
Quick question: Have you by chance contacted a company like Bit-Pay, to see if they could streamline the conversion to USD for you? Granted, you probably don't *need* to do that, but if the process they offered was simple and guaranteed (IOW, they charge a set small fee, give you the remainder in USD, and take the risk of losing money when slowly selling the BTC), it might allow you to entertain BTC offers closer to the USD price.
No, but that sounds fairly reasonable. I haven't had any offers in BTC, but I'd definitely consider it if I received one. 
Selling your house for Bitcoin?
No wonder you have to sell your house.

Pending offer in USD. $102.5k bid, contingent on sale of their house. Counter-offered seeking $107k. Until their house is sold, we are permitted to continue accepting bids.

Make sure you are taking depth into account, and not just multiplying x coins by y current rate. http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/ has a good depth calculator, just type in the number of coins to sell, and it will tell you how much USD you would actually get.
ETA: I misread. When you posted, the price was actually @ ~$5.3, so 110000/5.3=20,754. 20,754*4.76=$98,789. I would've actually gone from $50k from the sale, to less than $40k, a 20% loss.
The value of BTC in two years
2010 May 10000, a pizza
2011 Jul 10000, 3 houses
2012 April 10000, half a house
ridiculous, and I love it...

If you have the coin, I'm now willing to consider offers entirely in BTC, though I would like significantly more than asking price as I'll need to sell off a good number of the coins (at least half to give to the other owner) and I suspect I'll run into serious slippage issues.

If you sell off the BTC slowly over a week or two, you will not move the price much. The depth chart on the bid side has ~50,000 BTC total bids between the current price and $4.85.
ETA: I misspoke. When you posted, the price was actually @ ~$5.3, so 110000/5.3=20,754. 20,754*4.76=$98,789. I would've actually gone from $50k from the sale, to less than $40k, a 20% loss.
ETA2: I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to hedge against that, though... could be messy, though. I suppose I also wouldn't necessarily take a "real" 20% loss on earnings in the above scenario, either. Depends on price fluctuation until I can offload $50k worth of BTC, which might be doable at the time of transaction without significant slippage.
First house for sale for btc? good luck!
no. go look back about 9 months ago. 2 houses were for sale accepting bitcoins. small lot size. from those pictures the house condition looks alright.
You heard it here first! Price reduced by $5k USD (now under $110k).

Updated OP. Accepting up to $5k in BTC.
What do you mean by "Willing to accept as payment or finance up to $3,000 in Bitcoin!"
Will you only accept 2% of the purchase price in bitcoin? That isn't exactly selling a house for bitcoin...
Never claimed to be. I'm willing to accept up to 2% of purchase price in BTC, yes. I am not the sole owner of the house and want to purchase another house soon. AFAIK, the bank selling the house I'm looking at isn't willing to accept BTC. Will you only accept 2% of the purchase price in bitcoin? That isn't exactly selling a house for bitcoin...
Still, a first step toward BTC-denominated mortgages.
Reread the thread and yep, you are right. The peanut gallery caused me to misunderstand.

Most of the grounded outlets the previous owner put in were not grounded. Many of these were rectified when I changed outlets for aesthetic purposes!
what would the price be on a house in that area with those specs...nice chunk of land!
$88,500 -- I think I can get away with a bid <$80, though. It's been on the market a looooong time, and I imagine banks must hate sitting on property.
