There's no reason you couldn't sell a house for Bitcoin. It's certainly not common. As a previous reply said, I think such a sale would get a lot of press.

There is no tax if you sell your primary residence. Capital gains tax does apply on sales of property that is not your primary residence.

I think this is the house you're speaking of, http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/house-for-sale-in-bitcoin-on-craigslist-upsets-realtor-1.4118832

The realtor asked for the ad be removed. Apparently the listing was made by a friend trying to help sell the property.

According to that article a Canadian realtor cannot accept Bitcoin for payment but a homeowner working without a realtor can.

I imagine the publicity could be a potential negative as well. I think there would be complaints about foreign buyers and fears that it's a sign of suspicious activity.

As this is my primary residence it would be capital gains exempt. I agree with the needs for professionals to be involved in the sale.

It's interesting you feel finding someone to spend that much bitcoin would be the problem. It does seem like people are sitting on their Bitcoins and not necessarily eager to spend right now. That's one of the reasons I wanted to toss this question out there. See if such a thing has been done in Canada. There are a couple Google results and I see large value items listed on sites like bitpremier. I imagine it's entirely possible that people who have done these type of transactions don't want to bring them to anyone's attention.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I have been thinking about selling my condo for BTC. I live in a prime downtown neighbourhood in one of Canada's largest cities.  I feel that, due to risk, I could potentially list my home at a higher price and wouldn't have to pay a broker commission. Additionally I think listing my property in BTC would attract attention that may be hard to do without the traditional MLS system. Of course it would also help me build up a significant holding of BTC.

I'm interested in any possible legal or financial issues I may run into. I can only find limited information online with respect to Canada. I would love to hear from anyone who has conducted a real estate transaction with BTC in Canada.

I have IN-18 and IN-14 Nixie tubes for sale. These are tubes I've imported from the Ukraine for a project I never got around to building. I currently have several hundred of each type.

The IN-18 tubes were manufactured in October 1987 and each tube is stamped with the manufacturing date and OTK which is a quality control specification of the Soviet Union. The IN-14 tubes were manufactured in November 1982. These tubes have a white base. Each is stamped with the manufacturing date, CCCP, and OTK.

IN-18 - .015 BTC each
IN-14 - 0.0025 BTC each

These tubes have never been used and are from sealed boxes. I will test each tube prior to shipment.

If desired a mutually agreed upon reputable escrow may be used. I will split the escrow fee with the buyer.

At this time I am only shipping to the US and Canada. I've included shipping costs in my pricing. I'll ship orders within one day and send a tracking number immediately upon shipment. Delivery times are, on average, 3 to 5 days.

I do have smaller quantities of other Nixie tubes available. Let me know if there's a particular tube you may be looking for. I'll do my best to help you out.
