Seattle based company Pandemonium Real Estate says while the rest of the real estate industry may be struggling, lots in Hell are going like hotcakes.
Pandemonium Real Estate launched two months ago. The new business doesn't sell any condos or building lots, rather this outfit offers clients deeds to lots in Hell.
Owner David Cook says they've been surprised at all the interest in their properties. "The activity on the website and for interviews has been far above what we expected."
Cook says business is good for the sale of lots in Hell. "Hell seems to be the hot spot right now. The economy's down, land prices are falling everywhere, and more people are getting into trouble. Hell is simply getting more crowded these days making it the perfect spot to invest."
You might ask, 'Who would buy themselves a spot in Hell?' Cook says most of their sales are purchases meant to be gifts for others. "People are buying these mostly for others. People are having a lot of fun with them by making the Deeds 'personal'. Each property can have a name filled in and a Circle of Hell chosen to really make a point. If someone, has a boss who is a bit tight with the funds then the circle for Avarice is perfect. If someone has a boyfriend or a friend who has crossed some moral lines with those of the opposite sex, then the Circle for Lust is for them."
Of the 9 circles of Hell, Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, Wrath and Sloth, Heresy, Violence, and Treason, Cook says that Lust seems to land the most sales. "The circle of Lust seems to be the most popular so far, gee go figure. No one would ever have seen that coming. The Deeds representing the Circle of Lust are being worn like badges of Honor among the young and old alike. If someone likes to have fun downtown and wants to continue the party after death, then that's the circle for them. After Lust the Circle for Violence is the next most popular."
Pandemonium deeds are priced from $49.99 to $3,000. $49.99 will buy a deed for a lot with a territorial view and the top tier investment gets a deed for a waterfront property with a private dock. "The going rate for spots in Hell start with the Territorial view properties at $49.99. Nice spots, definitely higher grade than what is handed out randomly on arrival without preparation. There are also some spectacular water view ($79.99) and waterfront ($169.99) properties that really can't be beat. Those lucky souls will be the envy of all their friends. The current premier properties are limited edition Waterfronts with private Docks. Only 2500 are in existence and these hand signed and numbered properties are selling for $3000.00. Two so far have been spoken for by private souls who must have been really 'bad'."
Cook says there's a level of Hell appropriate for just about every person. "There are circles of Hell that suit every possible person from the outdoors man to the intellectual."
