Christmas Decorations | Home » » St. Joseph Statue - Home Sale Aid: 3 1/2" | | | | | | | Description: | | The current slow real estate market has some home sellers turning to a higher power for help. In Good Faith, some local real estate agents are crying "location, location, St. Joseph!"
St. Joseph, the husband of Mary and earthly Father of Jesus Christ, is honored as the patron saint of married couples, families, carpenters and workingmen. March 19, his feast day, is especially celebrated by people of Italian and Polish descent.
Over the years, the tradition arose of St. Joseph having a special power in real estate transactions. European nuns buried a medal with his likeness on property they hoped to aquire for convents. Gradually the medals were replaced with statues and the focus changed from buying to selling.
The statue is buried upside down in the front yard with the feet pointing to heaven. It may face towards the home (or towards the street if you want your neighbor's home to sell!) The location of the statue can vary: by the "For Sale" sign, in a flower pot (popular for condo owners), etc.. It also doesn't hurt to say a little prayer in St Josephs' name as you bury the statue! | | | Features: | |

 ITEM SHIPPED DIFFERENT FROM PHOTOSep 18, 2010
By Thomas Pope
The item shipped was totally different from the photo, and was probably not even supposed to represent St Joseph the carpenter. No carpenter's tools.
It worked for meSep 14, 2010
By Barbara
I placed my order back in April 2008, but just decided to write a review to let people know that it does work. I placed the statue near the "for sale" sign on the day I received it. A realtor came by the same day looking at the house for her client. Long story short, her client brought and settled on the house a few months later. I forgot to mention that my house had been on the market for 8 months prior to me receiving the statue. I write now becasue I plan to buy the statue again in February 2011. I have another house I plan to sell, hopefully in March 2011. I don't know if I should purchase it now or wait. The market has gotten worse and I really need to sell in March 2011.
maybe it really works!Oct 08, 2009
