Bitcoin Home Buyer? 7 Houses You Can Snag Now With Cryptocurrency

Although it’s been around for nearly a decade, bitcoin has been buzzing over the past few months. The mysterious cryptocurrency has been the subject of a flood of coverage chronicling its every fluctuation—and there have been plenty of them. The average price of one bitcoin, which opened 2017 at around $1,000, crossed the $17,000 mark in December. By the end of the year, the value had begun to plummet.

Who’s bullish? Who’s bearish? Who cares?

Well, if you’re looking for a novel and (pseudo) anonymous way to purchase a house, you should. For all its volatility, bitcoin is on the rise when it comes to real estate listings. For the digital-minded buyer, there are nearly a hundred opportunities to buy right now without spending a greenback.

Of those, we counted 37 single-family homes for sale across the country billed as accepting bitcoin as a form of payment. From that batch, nearly half are in Florida, which means the favorite state of retirees and spring breakers is yet again at the forefront of novel ways to finance large investments.

But if you’re not enamored with the idea of basking in the Sunshine State, there are many other places to buy with bitcoin today. We’re highlighting seven places that require varying levels of digital riches, and we’ve included the bitcoin price based on the most recent bitcoin-to-dollar exchange ratio.

Tear up your cashier’s check, and scroll down to see what your digital riches can buy right now.
