Pray to St. Joseph for help selling a house

Are you having trouble selling your home? The economy is tight right now and there are a lot of people that are having a hard time finding buyers for homes that they need to sell. If your house has been on the market for awhile and you’re not getting any serious offers before you think about lowering the price or waiting to sell when the market picks up again you should try praying to St. Joseph for help selling a house first. There’s a tradition that says that if you pray to St. Joseph for help selling a home and you bury a statue of St. Joseph upside down in your yard that St. Joseph will help buyers find your home and that you will get an offer on your home very soon, it’s the perfect help for selling a house.

It might sound strange but thousands of home owners and realtors would swear that it works.   In fact there was a time during the 1980s when stores that sold statues of St. Joseph and house selling kits that contained Saint Joseph statues couldn’t keep them in stock because realtors and real estate agents bought them by the case to use them to sell the properties that they were representing.   The tradition is still around and thousands of people still pray to St. Joseph and use Saint Joseph statues to help them sell their homes today. Ask any realtor or real estate agent that you know and they will probably tell you that burying a statute of St. Joseph while you pray to St. Joseph for help selling a house will work every time.

People pray to St. Joseph to help them sell their homes because St. Joseph is the patron saint of real estate and of the home and family.   After you bury a statue of St. Joseph in your yard and get an offer on your home some people say that you should leave the statue of St. Joseph in the yard of the home so that the St. Joseph will bless the home and the new family that is going to live there and keep them safe but other people say that if you leave the statute in the yard it will make the house be sold over and over again until the statute is dug up and either placed in the house or placed in a new home.   So most people say that after you get an offer for the property you should dig up the statue and take it with you to your new home where you can pray to St. Joseph to protect your family in the new home.

The idea to pray to St. Joseph for help selling a home came from an earlier tradition of praying to Saint Joseph to help find the right home.   The earliest story about someone praying to St. Joseph to find a home says that St. Teresa of Avila, a well known saint and mystic who founded the Discalced Carmelite order of nuns, prayed to St. Joseph and had all of her nuns pray to St. Joseph as well when they needed to find a piece of land that they could build a convent on to house the nuns.   St. Teresa had her nuns pray to St. Joseph and bury medals of St. Joseph that had been blessed around the property that they lived on.   Their prayers were answered and St. Teresa found a perfect piece of land to build a new convent on.   As the years went by the story got changed and over time the tradition became for people that were selling land to bury medals and small statues of St. Joseph on the property and to pray to St. Joseph for help selling a house.
