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
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

For that price where I live that place would be snatched up in a split second, interior be damned.
That said, most of that is cosmetic and can be cleaned up with some elbow grease. Been there and done that, I wouldn’t have a problem with buying it.
This place would need gutting down to the studs. There is not a single fixture or cabinet which is anywhere close to acceptable.
Unless the utilities are insufficient that might be a little drastic, especially if there’s no damage. Upgrading everything would be the only reason I’d want to demo it all. You could get away with new countertops, sinks, and appliances. Refacing the cabinets. Stripping the wallpaper (gawdamn do I hate doing that shit. Wallpaper is evil, especially when it’s multiple layers deep) and giving it a good prime and paint. The floors almost all need redoing.
Point being it doesn’t have to be stripped down to the bones to make it look pretty good. If you want all the modern cheap trim, core doors, and Home Cheapo tile to make it look like a new tract home for no other reason than to make it look like everything else, sure. Demo away.
