Million dollar house sold for $70,000 came with a catch

A North Dakota man got a good deal on a million dollar house, but with a catch. Scott Adelman paid $70,000 for the 4,500-square-foot brick home in Fargo, but due to flood diversion work he has to move it out to nearby Horace.



This is no small task: four moving companies, dozens of people including police officers, electricians, sign experts, and a truck with 23 axles. "It's quite the project to just get it moved,” says Adelman.



Authorities helped by clearing the way for Adelman as crews move the 200-ton home. And, after some brick work, Adelman says it will be as good as new.



For plumbing, electrical, and a new foundation and brickwork, the timeline is 5 weeks for a crew of 15 workers. Adelman expects to sell the soon to be relocated five bedroom home for around $700,000.
