A house for $ 0.
this is the sound of the offer in the Italian city of Cammarata, Sicily, just 60 miles from Palermo. On the way one will try to lure newcomers to the city, so, however, commit to making renovations in the houses.
It writes CNN.
this Plan must therefore renovate the houses within three years, from the move into the address. In addition, you must pay a deposit of 5000 euro, equivalent to slightly more than 37,000 Danish kroner.
the Deposit you get back again, when work to renovate the house is completed.
the City has for many years struggled with a declining population, and therefore have the mayor, Vincenzo Giambrone, chosen to introduce the new offer.
- I can't hold out to see this beautiful, old, historic city centre left empty and a ruin. It hurts me, he says to CNN.
Families first in the queue
All applicants will be considered, but families with children are the first priority, sounds. One can, however, be allowed to do what you will with the buildings - whether it is for hotel, restaurant, or simply private accommodation is doesn't matter.
the Mayor's greatest desire is just that, the city once again come to life, he says.
Several other Italian towns have previously tried to sell a house for one american dollar, but Cammarata is the first, which simply gives the houses away.
