In March the woman placed her Sacramento-area home on the market
for $625,000 with one stipulation: The buyer must not be a Trump
supporter. She later took the home off the market for reasons
that were not clear.
But now the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home is being sold for
less than $500,000, leaving some to wonder if the significantly
lower price is at all related to the no-Trump-supporters demand,
the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The original ad, saying Trump backers need not apply, had some
questioning its legality. The Fair Housing Act, prohibits race,
religion, sex, and national original (among other
classifications) from consideration in a transaction, but makes
no mention of political affiliation. Yet one lawyer claimed the
stipulation was a violation of a potential buyer’s First
Amendment rights.
The woman was nevertheless adamant, telling CBS Sacramento:
“When you’re talking about principles, morals, and ethics, it’s
very, very deep.”
Now the home’s most current listing is under a different real
estate agent and makes no mention of any special “restrictions,”
the Sacramento Bee reported.
Ryan Lundquist, the real estate blogger who first mentioned the
sale on Twitter on Thursday, suggested the reduced price had
more to do with the original asking price being too high than
with a reaction to the woman's demand.
“[I]t looks like it was priced like it was remodeled, when it
really wasn’t,” Lundquist told the Bee, adding: “I’ve never met
a buyer that said, ‘I’m only gonna buy if the seller voted for
Bernie (Sanders).’ … People just don’t say that.”
This moron did, Ryan.
