Thats unusual. People have beliefs but never heard anything like this. At this time there are so many houses for foreclosures, even this won't help much. **David´s last blog post..Dog clicker training

I saw this on Hannity and Colmes. I think people are getting so desperate they are trying to invent mythology.

My devious mind makes me think that whenever someone has an eye on a house, before making an offer, it may be a good idea to go looking if they buried a St-Joseph’s statue in their yard.

If there is one, it might be easier to negotiate a lower price knowing the owners are so desperate to sell!

First time I heard this. I wonder out of all the people that have done this if they were able to sale there house with no problem. I guess that will remain a secret.

We're actually seeing more of this in our area. I think everyone is like "why not" - and decides to give it a go. I believe that this ritual has more to do with the power of positive thinking. [Think: The Secret ala Oprah] And while I haven't noticed any significant increase in getting homes for sale sold, it does seem to help soothe the emotions some of the sellers. **Jennifer in Louisville´s last blog post..Louisville Luxury Homes

Eric is right. I haven't seen a St. Joseph statue lately either. But, over the years I've had two clients that I can remember who planted St. Joseph's statue in their backyard. Each time they buried it headdown. And, each time the house sold within a matter of days. I am glad I stumbled across this post in light of the slow traffic on my listings this month. Instead of spending my money on classified advertising, maybe I will check out that pottery shop sells those St. Joseph statues. **Larry´s last blog post..Kentwood Expands Marketing Department

This Guy is funny. I grew up catholic but I never heard this until recently. My sister and nice both say he should be buried upside down. *Neds last blog post..A Cool New Tool

Interesting that you mentioned this. I see less of this than I did 10 years ago. Maybe the new agents do not do this as much. In Louisiana and New Orleans all Saints are treated well.
