Get Half a House for Half a Million Dollars

A US house cut in half by a falling tree is on the market for $500k. No significant repairs have been made: you are getting half a house for half a million dollars. 
 
Welcome to real estate in Los Angeles, 2024!
 
The one-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow in suburban Monrovia, northeast of LA, California, looked like it came straight out of a post-apocalyptic movie. 
 
On May 08, 2024, a giant pine tree had smashed through the roof, ripped apart walls, obliterated the fencing, took out the tenants’ van that was parked in the driveway and turned most of the 645-square-foot house into a complete wreck.
 
Thankfully, two renters and two dogs managed to escape unscathed. 
 
Now what's left of the property – with missing walls, hanging wires and no ceilings – is for sale at $499,999. 
 
Listing agent Kevin Wheeler quipped to the Los Angeles Times that it's an "open-concept floor plan".
 
He adds: "There's been a lot of interest so far because demand is so high and inventory, especially at this price, is so low".
