Here is a good one.

I don’t understand why people won’t even make the effort to present a clean house for the photos. You could just move the mess around from one room to another without really even cleaning.

Talk about a lack of eye for composition! I love the picture looking from the dining room back into the living room with all the mess and the air mattress against the wall. I also like the underexposed picture of the bed and the window curtains. I wonder if the beds come with the unit? Not sure what the point of the bathroom pic is. I would have left that out completely.

Actually, I take back what I said before about listings without any pictures. This one would show better without any pics at all.

Nice one Gary, The air mattress is there to show how you can have 10 people live in it without having to write the words “spacious living room for floor sleepers” or “central guest room.” I think the bathroom pic is to make you feel more comfortable about having two inches of sink counter because they managed to get twenty bottles of toiletries in that two inches. You just inspired me, I’m going on a quest for another one.

Here’s a picture that will repel any perspective buyer, it’s not a dive like my other nominess but the photographer could have moved the trash can off the patio but that’s minor. Get a load of the master bath, these geniuses decided to remodel it to make it feel more spacious so they put in two pedestal sinks. There is not one inch of counter, no medicine cabinet, no cabinets, no drawers. Just a tiny shelf on the right for all the toiletries a couple needs. You would have to shave your head because there no place for a comb. The realtor should not have taken that picture or at least not from the angle that I can see the bed in the mirror so I could assume it was the guest bath, there are only two so it’s not. Motels are more livable than this. This is something you need to hide until escrow is over and the happy family moves in, carries the box marked bathroom to the master bath and says “oh sh**” too late. Seriously I just got back from camping and the bathroom at the campground had more counter space to rest my toiletry bag on.

Home Depot needs to install compatability software that pharmacies use, the ones that alert you to the fact that the new medicine combined with the old one will kill you. That way when the second pedestal sink is scanned the manager will be summoned to ask you a series of questions to insure these aren’t for the master bath and if so there is adequate storage. Come to think of it the paint department and the carpet department need that same software so the buyer is required to prove that the paint is for a carnival ride or the carpet is for a casino before they can buy that color, people need protection.

LOL – good post. Yes, indeed, the paint machine at Home Depot ought to flag colors the prevailing community standards would consider obscene.

Wow – the backyard looks unfinished too! There’s beautiful grass along the rear strip but an awkward triangle-shaped dirt patch next to the patio furniture.

Looks like they left out a tree or bush along with bathroom storage.

Is this one of those places referred to as a “blank palette awaiting your finishing touches?”

This one always makes me giggle – its a land lot in Topanga, Los Angeles – with a small child and what looks like a rocket launcher in the distance.

As its been on the market for 344 days, you’d have thought the wee nipper in the photo would have graduated from a Chopper bike to his first car, by now…

thats funny,
Wish I didn’t know that was a well drilling rig. Even in good times it is not unusual for lots like this to sit on the market for a year. Somebody purchased this lot and got started on a project and has changed their mind. That is what it usually is anyway when you see infrastructure started and permits have already been pulled. Maybe they didn’t get water? Maybe it doesn’t look like a good idea anymore or the mom and dad of the rug rat had a falling out over the project. Stuff like that happpens all the time.
It looks pretty nice to me.
