Well, I only see one possibility: wrecking ball.[/quote]

I think we have a winner here.

Yikes!!![/quote]

No, no, no. This thread is for bad pictures.
Those are very good pictures. Just a bad subject.

Still – Yikes!!!

Who can figure out what is going on with the carpet inset in this picture. This may not be the worst picture ever, but the house is pretty darn garish.

We are contingent on this house btw.

Putting green!

Or maybe it should be called a putting brown in this case 🙂

Ding ding ding!

Actually this is kind of awesome. It’s not the sort of thing I’d want in my house, bit it still awesome in its own way.

Is that a picture of the Geico caveman with Arnold Palmer on the wall?

This may be an old thread, but I can’t resist reposting Jim the Realtor’s link terrible photos with the best captions:

Walls are bad for resale value in lizard infested areas like Mira Mesa …..

Besides, it’s perfect for a traincar home….

Like this

Maybe I could get $1400/month for it….

How many atrocities can you spot?
tumbleweeds in front yard
old tires
beheaded palm trees

Water leak showing on driveway, or maybe it’s from backed up drain for AC? I would wonder whether it was run off from irrigation, but . . .

[/quote]lol, I know that area well. The SD side (NE Encanto at 1 street to the west, in the canyon) actually just got sewer in about 20 years ago. That’s a nice (1/3 to 1/4 AC) pie-shaped lot! But it has a terraced backyard where the SD-facing homes (on the east side of 69th) can see into the backyards of the homes on Dartmoor.

Not sure it’s worth what they’re asking. I’d probably pay $110K – $130K for the lot and $60-$70K for the house, depending on condition. Feeds into Helix HS (which WAS an excellent school once upon a time). If the occupant has high-schoolers, TMMV.

See Piggs? I’ve posted here several times that there were “affordable” SFRs available in SD County!

Thanks for sharing, moneymaker! The beheaded palm trees add a little “ambiance” to this (possible) “cosmetic fixer” :=0

[quote=njtosd]Water leak showing on driveway, or maybe it’s from backed up drain for AC? I would wonder whether it was run off from irrigation, but . . .[/quote]The houses above (on the east side of 69th) likely have french drains draining down the hillside. The multiple-terrace fence the previous owner installed on the listing is not sufficient to keep the water off this property and foundation. Thus it is likely runoff from the neighbors above. The property needs just ONE deeply dug concrete block retaining wall separating the hill and backyard with a concrete swale parallel and behind it. That would cost at least $30K. Then it needs french drains from the block wall to the curb (there is no sidewalk on that street).

The listing has likely flooded repeatedly in heavy rains because the hill above it has probably been pretty bare ever since the cost of water went through the roof (the last 5-8 years).
