Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.

Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.

Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

No-one expects Jedward.
The paint doesn't bother me one bit, since that's an easy fix and was clearly loved by the previous owner. What bothers me, however, is the clear signs of neglect to the home's maintenance (bathrooms falling apart, yard in disarray, carpets tattered, etc.), which is much more involved to correct, and is usually paired with much more expensive demos (structural, plumbing, electrical, etc.).
TIL my mental health isn't that bad.
It’s really ironic that while the internet is actually driving all crazy it’s also place where I can see just how sane I actually am
Yeahhhhhh this strikes me as someone who should have gotten help but didn't and was in a weird place.
And that weird place was a stencil store.

I feel the garden lacks theming
Seems like the listing might be part of a pyramid scheme.
It's a sphinx'er upper
Someone told the owner they had a mental health problem but they were in denial.
Don’t know why everybody is hating on it. It looks like a house where people could express themselves. Pretty cool. If you don’t like it you can renovate and paint t your own
Maybe because it's also in awful shape.
It’s a house they can’t go to the gym. Honestly not sure why you’re body shaming a house.
Seems like you could only express yourself in the form of heiroglyphs or teenage heart throbs.

Real estate agents when you get to the bedroom:
Thank you. I am properly disoriented now.
My partner say this might be an example of Outsider art.
It might be. Pretty terrible outsider art, though.
"Oh, Egypt... Egypt... Egypt... Justin Bieber shrine... Egyp... wait, what?"
The paint is no big deal.
The only thing that really bothers me about it is the layout:
Why the fuck is the toilet on the opposite side of the kitchen from the rest of the bathroom?!
They need to either:
- move the toilet to the same room as the rest of the bathroom and then knock down the vestibule/pantry wall to make the kitchen less tiny, or
- knock down the "shower room" wall to expand the kitchen, add a sink opposite the toilet (probably swapping them so the sink would be where the toilet is and the toilet would be under the stairs), and build a full bath somewhere upstairs, taking space from the weirdly-long bedroom.
Edit: now added shitty modified floorplans
Option 1:
Option 2:
Why does the toilet need to be with the shower? Some sort of kink?
It doesn't need to be with the shower.
But I noticed you didn't question why it needs to be with the sink.
Wouldn't be surprised if the toilet was a later addition and simply tacked onto the back. I believe that wasn't unheard of.

Wouldn't be terrible if you're living with someone else. Actually kinda nice having separate use case.
That's what option 2 would be for: a half-bath downstairs, and a full bath upstairs.
I wish my toilets were separate. It's stupid to have the toilet next to where you brush your teeth.
Do us all a favor and never make a house layout again.
Jeez, you didn't have to be mean about it, Mr. I-want-to-walk-through-the-kitchen-after-pooping-before-I-wash-my-hands!
Well, you pay 125k for walls, a roof and some pipes and electrics. In some places that's cheap.
Yeah, honestly if I were in the market there, this place would catch my eye real quick. The poor taste can be mostly solved with some paint in a weekend or two, but the terrible look will be offputting to enough people that you will probably get a better price
The last house we bought was owned by a lady who collected and restored old books. There were over 5000 books in the house. There were bookcases on every wall, many of them in front of windows. The were stacks of books all over. It made the place really dark and feel cramped, but my wife and I could easily picture it without the books and bookcases, while apparently a lot of people couldn't. We got an amazing deal on it.
My first house was a bank repo. The previously owner was an investor who bought it at peak price in the 2006 housing and then got renters into the place. The rentors were reportedly severe alcoholics from the neighbors. Beer and wine stains on all the carpets. They had also left something on the stove that caught the microwave on fire there was smoke damage in the kitchen and laundry room.
When the housing market crashed the owner let the bank repo it and evict the tenants. It then was on the market for over a year until we offered 20% below asking price (70% less than the house sold in 2006.
I then worked my ass off for a year to get the place up to shape. All new flooring everywhere. New paint everywhere. I also redid all of the landscaping as it was mostly dead. After a year it was the loveliest home in the neighborhood.
That's really cool, and you clearly did well. But I can also see how your situation was a little different in that most people don't have the ability or inclination to do that kind of work themselves. I looked at a lot of fixer-uppers, and they really only make sense if you're doing the work yourself. They're usually priced low by about the amount to have that work done, otherwise the owners would just do it and charge more.
Nah, look at the landscaping in the backyard + loose/random tiling in the bathrooms. I'd be worried about mold.
I'm not saying I'd offer without checking it out first. I'm just saying it would be worth checking out
"property that can be tailored to individual tastes and requirements. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scope and potential on offer within this promising property."
Realtor enjoyed writing thst
I appreciate the jaunty angle of the toilet cistern. It has seen some shit but maintains an indefatigable elan.
I think the lock is on the outside of the bathroom door too, which really adds to the scene.
I'm disappointed by the lack of Egyptian theme in the backyard. I expected the them would carry through.
wooowwww
It's like living inside KidPix
I was prepared for Groverhaus: UK, but not for GroverTut’s Psychadelic Tomb
That was truly awful. Owner afflicted by some ancient mummy curse?
Honestly? A new coat of paint on the walls and a new kitchen & bathroom and this place would be pretty solid.
Looks pretty mouldy to me. I'd inspect that one verrry carefully.
Yeah, there is definitely a moisture problem somewhere. Could be from the fact that the shower is just a fucking floor pan in the middle of a room.
If someone had the funds for it, this could be remade into a lovely home with a lovely garden. There is potential there... but holy shit the amount of renovation that needs to be done before a real human can move in is exhausting.
It'll be bought by a "property investor" who will gut it, put in new bathroom and kitchen, redecorate in shades of grey, then resell it for a serious profit. They might clear the back yard and put down turf as well. It'll all take a couple of months unless there's something seriously wrong, eg rotten roof.
Picture #15 will shock you! (so much so that it's censored?)
I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on with the walls (and ceiling!) in #s 2 and 3. My first thought was a kid run amuck with markers, but it's too..."well done." Wall paper? No, it's not regular enough. All I can come up with is stamps, which is confusing on its own.
Oh, and the spot at the end of the stairs in #9, under the window to another planet--that's got to be beginning of a wormhole forming, right?
