Owner of $4.5 million gingerbread house for sale wants to raise money for charity

Everyone knows the Vancouver housing market is red hot, but the latest house to go on sale is raising some eyebrows.

It’s been listed as a charming, custom-made, fully-detached, one-bedroom cottage, located in the city’s West End.

It’s listed for $4.5 million, but it’s only one square foot.

Ari Ron listed the house on the site for some fun, but he’s received such a great response that he now wants to raise money for BC Children’s Hospital. He just needs to get it all set up.

“I want to see if I can raise some money for charity because it’s Christmas,” said Ron.

He said he has been offered $2 million in Canadian Tire Money for the house.
