A simple web search turns up many references to the practice. Here’s one: http://www.walshnet.com/walshnet/degage/stj_nyt.htm There seems to be some debate as to which part of the yard will bring about the swiftest results. -jim

How about burying Mormon missionaries instead? Have to do two of them, they are never found solo. Might not work, but spread the story anyway.

They frown on that in the state of Pennsylvania, unfortunately. — Fortune vomits on my eiderdown yet again.

Others might price their house correctly, have it properly prepared for viewing by potential buyers, use a good RE agent and be prepared to sell in today’s markets. But there’s always the superstitious. So, whatever works for you. Your mojo is personal. J — Shadow boxing in the dark. [www.bongoboy.com]

Does St. Joseph know much about marketing? I’d be leary of anyone who recommends causing a bare spot in the front lawn. Personally, I just sold my home by owner using mostly flyers and balloons. It was on the market five weeks and I had two nearly full-price offers. I just put flyers in a box on my lawn and had open houses (with balloons) every Sunday until it sold. I had the assistance of a lawyer, who did essentially nothing, but I wasn’t sure of that beforehand and wouldn’t really recommend losing that person. (Is St. Joseph a lawyer?) The only trouble I had with my FSBO was after the offer was accepted the various problems that came up almost derailed the deal several times. I wanted my money, the buyer wanted value. We really could have used a third person who was just advocating for the deal. Perhaps that’s where St. Joseph comes in. By the way, the stress of bringing everything to a signed P&S caused me to get very, very ill starting the night after the P&S was signed. I was sick (pneumonia, among other things) for a solid two weeks after it. I’m positive that I could have missed that charming episode if I had used a realtor. Is St. Joseph perhaps a realtor?

Response:
I have heard of this practice and have no idea where it came from. Certainly not the bible, unless someone can point me to where it is stated (or even hinted at). No, it seems that this is superstition at its best. If there are any spiritual beings "influencing" the sale of a house due to a statue being ritually buried, I wouldn’t assume it’s the "good side"… Be careful. Scott
Response:
St. Joseph is the patron saint of carpenters. I have heard of having a statue in your home to protect it from damage, but never buried to sell a home.
Response:
:St. Joseph is the patron saint of carpenters. I have heard of having a :statue in your home to protect it from damage, but never buried to sell :a home. I find the burial part a little disturbing. Wont he do more good where he can see the prospective buyers? Or better yet, when you have contractors work on your house you can strategically place the statue to keep an eye on the workers. The most useful patron saint is, of course, St. Anthony. Having a statue of him in your car is a great help in finding parking spaces in Manhattan. Pat Lundrigan
Response:
I kinda figured he would be the patron saint of step-fathers, or is that a different Joseph? Dan – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >St. Joseph is the patron saint of carpenters. I have heard of having a >statue in your home to protect it from damage, but never buried to sell >a home.

You’d be just as well off using the oriental Feng Shui (sp) to do some redecorating/rearranging/landscaping to make your house more appealing to a buyer. No matter what your beliefs about Feng Shui as a spiritual reality, what I’ve seen of the results are very aesthetically pleasing. –Paul E Musselman – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->I have heard of this practice and have no idea where it came from. >Certainly not the bible, unless someone can point me to where it >is stated (or even hinted at). >No, it seems that this is superstition at its best.

It’s a fact that having statues of St. Joseph watching while you have sex will help you conceive. If you don’t want to conceive, face them toward the wall. Whatever you want to happen will be facilitated by having these statues in the room. The more the better. But don’t have them in each other’s sight or they will get jealous.

I know quite a few people who have buried St. Joseph to sell their house. He’s also got to be upside-down and facing a certain way (toward the house maybe?). I swear, it’s some goofy Catholic superstitous thing (at least that’s my assumption, cuz most Catholics around here either have done it or have at least heard about it, myself included). —

The only place I’ve ever heard it is from this spammmer dshomen guy who regularly posts about it as if he’s trying to get information about it.
