Would you like to own 84 private homes in one neighborhood for only $594,481?

Well, that's not really realistic, unless a typo puts you on the name of the huge property.

This is exactly what happened to the woman who paid the aforementioned amount for her dream home, but in return she became the owner of 84 apartments and two public spaces - due to a clerical error.

The local newspaper reported that according to the paperwork she signed, she became the so-called legal owner of the entire neighborhood - Even though all the houses in it had already been sold before the mistake. How much is this whole neighborhood worth, you wonder? And according to estimates, the property in her possession was worth no less than 50 million dollars.

Accidentally became the owner of the whole neighborhood.

The developers of the neighborhood, the "Toll Brothers" company, claim that it will be easy to correct this mistake and return the properties to them, but they were warned that "someone may make it difficult for them and take advantage of this mistake."

The woman, whose identity has not been published, filled out the forms with an appraiser, before the mistake was discovered on 7/25, when she was informed that she was "the owner of buildings 1 to 85".

This typo means that the lucky woman received title deeds for the other houses in the neighborhood.

Corey Barak, the county appraiser explained: "Apparently the title to the property in Las Vegas was copied incorrectly. Because it was quite clear that a mistake had been made, the appraisers immediately contacted the county so that they could work on correcting the title of the chain of houses that were mistakenly transferred to her."

The property owner, by the way, can legally object to this process, but there is no sign that she intends to try to do so, and if she goes to court, she will almost certainly lose.

Barak also claimed that this mistake is more common than people think because "copy and paste" mistakes like this in print happen quite a lot.
