Burned home available for $800K in San Jose
An uninhabitable burned-out home in San Jose went up for sale at the price of $800,000.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KABC) -- An uninhabitable burned-out home in San Jose went up for sale at the price of $800,000.

While it may sound crazy, there are people willing to pay. A realtor said in less than 24 hours, 10 potential buyers contacted her. She anticipates selling it in a few days.

So what's the reason for the high interest? Buying the charred home and rebuilding on the property is a lot cheaper than buying a brand new home in Silicon Valley.
