Now that the US Senate has voted to extend the popular homebuyer tax credit it’s time to start thinking about finding a unique abode; something a little more interesting than your average cookie cutter house.
This cluster has every kind of home, from upside down to flying saucer-shaped to tree-integrated. Buying one of these beauties is now a little easier thanks for the homebuyer tax credit, so when you’re out house-hunting, remember to keep your eyes peeled for architecturally stimulating abodes.
