Tiny gingerbread house got Zillow listed

It dropped this morning in the group chat where my friends and I dissect real estate listings for fun, the McMansions with bewildering custom sinks, murder house photo gallery jump-scares, wildly overpriced neighborhoods we remember used to be affordable, even just barely. This house, however, took the cake — if you'll forgive the pun. A 1 bedroom, zero bath, 1-sq. ft. home in Louisville, Kentucky, listed for sale by owner, and priced at a cool $399,999. The kicker? It was a gingerbread house — a real one, as the listing owner assured me when I called the number on the listing. Comes in a kit. Fits on a table. Decorated with candy. Edible, kind of. As a recent buyer in this market, I was surprised it wasn't snapped up in a cash offer in the first 24 hours.
