House trading or house swapping seems simple: You pick out a house that seems promising and offer up yours in exchange. With a house swapping site, you could even see how a 3-way or 4-way trade would be possible.

@Stacy Thanks for your comment. When money is tight, swapping things you don't need or want anymore is a great way to go shopping for "new" stuff. I recently went to a book swap. I got to meet new people, and I traded several of my old books for new summer reading material.
