Just when I think I’ve seen every possible home buying incentive:
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – She has tried nightclubs and online dating sites, but now a 42-year-old single mother is looking for love where everyone else’s heart is breaking: the real- estate market.
After a year of trying to sell her four-bedroom home and eight years of singledom, Deven Trabosh is offering her Florida home and a shot at marrying her on the Internet.
"Marry a Princess Lost in America," Trabosh wrote in the ads she posted on eBay and Craigslist last week. She describes a life of romance and travel and a home that features vaulted ceilings, upgraded tile and a soaking tub in a gated community with a pool and tennis courts.
"I’m struggling . . . I don’t want to lose my house, and I want to find somebody," said Trabosh, who changed her name in the ad to Traboscia to keep people from finding her in the phone book. "So I came up with this dream plan because I’ve always dreamt about being a fairy-tale princess."

She’s asking $340,000 for the house and $500,000 for “her companionship”. She sounds like a whore to me.
Yeah, but she’s a babe. Fun for awhile until she gets tired of sugar daddy, files for divorce and gets the house free and clear! Igor says, No equity, you betcha pal.
At least she won’t be the only “ball and chain” in the marriage.
Sounds desperate. She needs money, just like everyone else, ho-hum. I saw her craigslist add, which is pretty shallow, and empty but she’s got a lifestyle she wants to lead, and she’s going to need a richer man with similar values to pay for it. Pretty sad.
Guys who actually have money either have trophy wives or girlfriends already. She’s a day late on this one.
But at least there is some truth in advertising.
Three or four year ago, my single co-workers would say (half-jokingly) that the only way they would ever be able to own a home was to marry a female “homeowner”. My how things have changed!
