The Weekly Blend is your “weekly” source covering real estate news that you just may have missed. Our hard-at-work Weekly Blend crew scours the web looking for obscure, bizarre, interesting and informative real estate (or real estate related) stories. If you have one you’d like to share please feel free to share it in our comments section or tweet about it using the hashtag #WeeklyBlend.

Here are my weekly picks:

For sale: Beautiful six-bedroom, 7,000-square-foot house in the Hamptons for $12.7 million U.S.… which was the site of a high-profile murder in 2001. I’m sorry, what was that last part?

Want to Walk the Line where Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash lived? No, Folsom Prison isn’t for sale, but a waterfront property where the famous couple lived is on the market.

This whole house is one big optical illusion. What is real? Up is down. Black is white. I’m getting motion sickness trying to figure out how to get to the kitchen.

This might be the best invention for REALTORS® since the key lock box. While the name could use some work, just check out the shoe booty dispenser.
