Barr says the price is based on the cost of local housing. But on the page, many commenters said the property is emblematic of the lack of affordable housing in what many market analysts say is the hottest market in the country.

"What has this area come to when a family earning good money cannot even afford to buy even a burned-out wreck," wrote Facebook user "Cally Jayne." "Greed, pure greed from all concerned right here."

The burned-out home on the property isn't scaring buyers away. Barr says she already has 10 people interested and the home hasn't even officially gone on the MLS.
