Unlike a second-hand car, you can't drive one of those houses to a desirable location.

Some of those houses are overpriced at $1.00 because of the zero market value plus tax liability.

They will learn something about seriously depressed housing markets when the can't find a tenant and the tax and maintenance bills start coming. With an unoccupied house and absent landlord, they are also likely to get unwanted free tenants, or at least vandals.
 
The first home buyers grant immediately increased the prices of houses to compensate.

Ridiculous idea.
