Are you having trouble selling your home in today's down market? Do you enjoy new fads? Do you believe in good luck charms? One desperate home-seller in Brooklyn, NY sought the help of St. Joseph; the Catholic saint long believed to help with home related matters.
According to lore now spreading on the internet burying St. Jospeh in the yard of a home for sale promises a prompt bid.
After she and her husband held five open houses, even baking cookies for one of them, she ordered a St. Joseph “real estate kit” online and buried the three-inch white statue in her yard.
These statues are flying off the shelves and website pages as skeptics and non-Catholics seek some sort of leg-up in these troubled times.
You can read the entire article on the RealEstateJournal website.
Update: Her house has sold! Congrats to her and apparently burying St. Joseph in her yard helped.
