House-Swapping

boston-real-estate-swap

Over the weekend, I picked up an issue of Time Magazine and there was an article that cought my eye entitled House-Swapping

The phenomena of home swapping, while nothing new, is gaining increased attention as frustrated home sellers look for more ways of finding buyers.

Today, there are a number of Web sites that specialize in “matchmaking” swaps between buyers and sellers with sites that showcase both the details of a sellers’ home and the details of the home they seek to buy.

For example one of the housing swapping Web sites, goswap.org, had 90 listings in 2007. It has nearly 10,000 now.

I was wondering as my blog readers do you think this is an idea that would catch on in Boston?
