The myth of using a St. Joseph statue to sell your house.
In short, some people believe that if you bury a St. Joseph statue on the property upside down it’ll help the home sell faster. Now, the placement of the statue and the methods are something I will talk about. I do not know if it works but, if you want to try it, let me know.
The St. Joseph statue is a Catholic symbol. Most people say it will work with any religion as long as the ritual is done correctly.
First, you must bury St. Joseph in the yard. How you bury him depends on what YouTube video you watch. I have found that the most used method is buried upside down in the front yard facing the home. This is so that he will work hard to sell the right home.
For those that live in a condo or multifamily building. You must plant St. Joseph in a pot of dirt upside-down facing your door.
Second, You have to ask St. Joseph to sell your home.
Here’s an example of a prayer to St. Joseph, from the website Roman Catholic Man:
O, Saint Joseph, you who taught our Lord the carpenter’s trade, and saw to it that he was always properly housed, hear my earnest plea. I want you to help me now as you helped your foster-child Jesus, and as you have helped many others in the matter of housing. I wish to sell this [house/property] quickly, easily, and profitably and I implore you to grant my wish by bringing me a good buyer, one who is eager, compliant, and honest, and by letting nothing impede the rapid conclusion of the sale.
Dear Saint Joseph, I know you would do this for me out of the goodness of your heart and in your own good time, but my need is very great now and so I must make you hurry on my behalf.
Saint Joseph, I am going to place you in a difficult position with your head in darkness and you will suffer as our Lord suffered, until this [house/property] is sold. Then, Saint Joseph, I swear before the cross and God Almighty, that I will redeem you and you will receive my gratitude and a place of honor in my home.
Amen.
Third, sell your home in record time (allegedly). Don’t forget to honor St. Joseph. He was a saint, he shouldn’t be left in the ground forever. The new buyers will be confused as well.
This is the best seller for the statue on amazon.

1 star “I still did not sell my house” – Marianna N. White
5 star “Saint Joseph, buried upside down, facing my house and close to the 'for sale' sign in front of my beloved Cozy Cottage. I marked the spot with this little house, lest I forget where I left him. And I promised - if he blessed me - I would visit three times each day, and ask for hos intervention in the selling and buying of my homes.
Six hours after the first prayer, I received my first offer.
I say 'first' because my home became the object of a lovely bidding-war, and I sold in a matter of days.
Joe, however, remained underground -- receiving my visits, my praise and my prayers for a new home I might love as much as the one I leave behind.
The saint responded with a dropped seller's price on the only house I saw and loved -- and last week my offer was accepted!
When all deals close, I'll bring Saint Joseph in from his place of blessing and promise -- and install him on the fireplace mantle of my adorable Parkside home!
Yes, friends. Miracles happen! Thanks, Joe! I won't forget the blessings!!” - Kristine Holmgren
In all honesty, if you want the best chances of selling your home. Maybe the use of St. Joseph and an agent from Treeline Realty? Definitely, the real estate agent will help!
