You probably think I'm going to make fun of this $150,000 Rochester, Minnesota home like I did that one with the Most Honest Property Listing ever (scroll down to see it), but I'm not. That realtor was trying to be funny. Not to be a downer, but the housing crisis in Rochester is no joke...we need more space people can afford. First time homes for $139,000 is unheard of in 2021.

134-Year-Old Stewartville Home Has a Secret Room

When you read the description for this 134-year-old Stewartville home for sale, you don't see anything about a secret room...so that's why I called it a 'secret room'...no one would suspect it is there, not one would know to go looking for it, but boom! There it is.
