Is this some sort of weird "for legal reasons we had to post it but we don't actually want anyone to put in an offer" type things?

Like with the super specific H1B job postings designed so that only 1 person (preselected) is likely to qualify. But they had to post it because it's a government policy.

I guess I'm asking how this is helping someone avoid some sort of fee/tax on $169,000?

Edit: Guys condos don't always come with land ownership which is why I thought something was dodgy here. Does anyone know if condos in Oregon include the land under them?

Could also just be on a massive piece of land I guess

Doesn't even have to be massive. In my area, I see a half acre lot listed for $500k. I'm not even in a particularly expensive area (kinda rural, but 20mi away from a somewhat expensive metro).

Or like a mile from downtown San Francisco.

[–] BottleOfAlkahest 3 points 10 months ago

But it's listed as a condo, that typically doesn't give you land ownership. Or is OR law different on that?

I've never heard of any legal obligations to post a house for sale.

The price is set for the land or the location of the land.

In cases of inheritance, when the house is left partially to two or more parties. In conflict between the parties, the resolution can be the forced sale.
