Hi PW,

"One might be in the market looking for a house when one comes on the market."

You used two ones.

First one means a person I assume.

Second one means the house. Correct?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, an oversight on my part. This would be a sentence I would revise if I came across it later.

It would be clearer to say:

"Frank was in the market looking for a house when one came on the market."
