What a deal! Does that include the trees to?
You have to read the fine print.
At the bottom of one of these pages was an ad for a small backyard cabin for $20,260.

You can have this cute little getaway in Newton, MA for just $450,000. It has an open floor plan of 251 sq ft.
Unbelievable! I wonder what the taxes are on that chicken coop. I had an RV with more square footage than that. PT Barnum was right. There's a sucker born every minute and two to take 'em.

If the street was given, the owner & tax information should be available through the county PVA's web site. I've checked various addresses here in town, an acquaintance in Sacramento, CA, and the values of some of the condos in that building that collapsed in Florida several weeks ago.

I did look it up on Zillow and the taxes are $2887/yr 2021, lot size 2452 sq ft. It is the barest minimum in tiny house living. There are towns around Newton, MA that, real estate wise, would definitely give you more bang for your buck for $450,000.

What did Zillow list as the current value for the property that has 'only' $2887 in tax? I'm gonna take a WAG & say 'substantially less' than $450k.

About the size of a good garden tractor shed. Or put another way. Some folks have a lot more money than I do.

No, the Newton tax on that house is $2,887, however, when it is sold there is a Massachusetts tax stamp of $4.56/$1000 on the sales price. It's not called Taxachusetts for nothing.

It's a very cute little house. There are plenty of windows and I see a skylight. I'll bet the inside is very well planned and functional!

There is a tiny bathroom and the kitchen is a sink, limited counter space, 3 open shelves over the sink and no cabinets. This 'house' wouldn't even qualify for a decent beach cottage. There is a ladder leading up to a 1/2 loft that I assume is the bedroom.
