The property where the body of Orlando toddler Caylee Anthony was discovered in December is for sale. The owner of the land told FOX 35 that she had put the property on the market just this week. Asking price for the half-acre lot is $89,900.

"It's vacant land on the east side of town. It's a good sized lot on a nice street," said Channing Harrison, a longtime Central Florida real estate agent who isn’t involved in the sale.
But he said even if a buyer did not recognize the Suburban Drive address, the make-shift memorial which is adjacent to the land would alert any prospective buyers to what took place on the site. Over the last several weeks, hundreds of teddy bears and cards have been placed by visitors.
"It's got a little bit of an added stigma to it," said Harrison. "It's probably going to take a little longer than usual for someone to step forward and put a serious offer in. It's going to take a unique buyer."
On Wednesday afternoon, people from as far away as Canada stopped by to pay their respects. Jeanette Saborido is one of the few who noticed the property is now for sale. "I wouldn't want to own it. If they were giving it away I wouldn't take it," said Saborido.
After taking a closer look at the property, Harrison pointed out that the lot has an odd shape. It sits lower than the property around it, so it would cost quite a bit of money to fill it with dirt and raise it to the point where it would not flood. Harrison estimates the owner will likely get just a fraction of the asking price.
