I wouldn't exactly call it a scam just yet.  I would check to make sure that 
the person actually owns the property before you call it a scam.  It is just a 
contest with an entry fee.  The owners have a house and want to sell it for 
$450,000.  They figure this is an easy way to do it. Just from my brief 
glimpse at the pictures at the web page the house doesn't look like a $450k 
house to me.  The person who owns it probably knows there is no way 
they can get that much selling it on the open market so they will take a 
chance on selling it through the contest.  They have a bail out clause so 
they have very little to lose.
