Grottbags, executive vice-wicked witch of the west with Hecate Property Investments, told the Brothers Grimm that since she bought a gingerbread house, she had more than her fill of juicy opportunities.
Beating
"Most people laughed when I first bought the property, but since the start, people of all ages have not just been beating a trail to my door, they've been leaving breadcrumbs for others to follow, boosting my returns" she said. Indeed, last year alone saw interest in gingerbread property from the crucial 6-16 age sector of consumers grow by 100 per cent on 2005's figures and is set to increase even further.
Despite her praises, other experts disagree, with Squealer from Three Little Pigs & Associates saying that the traditional bricks and mortar, wood, and straw property markets still had room for growth, with wood and straw especially appealing to environmentally aware consumers looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Whisking
In response, Grottbags said that her home gave zero carbon emissions in building, had no history of wolf trouble and pointed to the health hazards of livestock dwelling in homes. However, she urged investors to be aware of the dangers of gingerbread homes, such as children eating into your investment, or trapping you in your own oven.
