The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Friday police got a tip Nov. 1 a woman was portraying herself as the owner and there was a hand-written sign at the home saying it was for sale and a buyer could get it "cheap" at a 50 percent discount for a cash-only sale. Advertisement Police spokesman Howie Padilla said the woman, who wasn't identified, had the price as low as $35,000. But city officials say Ramsey County owns the house, the newspaper said. Ramsey County property records show the most recent sale of the house was in 2007 for $120,000. It was listed as a forced sale, auction or foreclosure, and a notice posted on the door Friday said it constituted nuisance conditions and was subject to demolition. There was no word on what happened to the alleged seller.
