I'm not looking for a house but I like to look at the listings when I'm bored. One of the listings says the seller will consider a trade?? WTF I've never seen that before. What's the point of trading houses? They didn't specify if they'd trade for a bigger or smaller house. I'm guessing their house has some kind of problems.

I thought about it.  Why not?  Like any other trade, you just have to make sure your trade is acceptable to you.

It was done in my hometown about 15 years ago.  A family of five (kids were friends of mine) traded their house to a bachelor with a larger house.  The larger house was worth more so the family paid the difference.



It was a small town and both parties knew each other well.
