I wonder about the authenticity of this post lol. It looks awefully alive and NOT so dust for a real abandoned house.
The is up for sale, so maybe the real estate agent did some tidying up
Can you please tell me which company it is listed with?
Hey which agent is it with and where is it exactly?
House must be in an isolated part of a very small town for it not to have been torn apart by looters/grifters/squatters and the like
Yes it lies quite remote
Were the doors locked or just open? So weird that coats and hats were still on the hooks TV's just there as well as paintings on the wall... hope there is no sad story behind this. Did you video any of this? If you did I hope you uploaded up to YouTube !
Where is this property and who is it listed with please, I am very interested x
All the furnishings inside, and the fact that the house is listed for sale, make me think that the real estate agent staged it. People wouldn't leave so many personal items behind, and they wouldn't be in such good shape if they had been abandoned. This is in no way a criticism, because the staging is beautiful, and makes it easier for potential buyers to look past the damage and visualize living there. Your photos are also beautiful. I'm glad you had the opportunity to see the house, and that you shared your images with us :)
What you said is very likely, but the sentence that "people wouldn't leave so many personal items behind" reminds of something I heard about the post ex-Yugoslavian war era (mid-1990s). I don't remember exactly which of the ex-yu countries it was, but it's about a region that needed some re-establishment, you know, culturally rebuilding the place after the war was over. They needed teachers, so the offer was a free home granted to the teachers who'd come and work there. A teacher saw it as pretty cool deal and applied, but was shocked when s/he came into the promised home - all the personal items were there, even the plates were ready on the table, for a meal. Depicting in his/her head the scene of a family fleeing for their lives, or being forcefully kicked away, right before their meal even... That teacher couldn't take that home because s/he couldn't take the heart breaking environment. I hope this family who lived in this house had a happier story.
Sure, Bobbi. I didn't say you were wrong. Didn't even suggest a possibility (although it might have sounded so). It was just an additional thought triggered by that sentence.
I get what you're saying Daria. It's true that war changes the context, but that would mean this house was abandoned in WWII. Looking again at the photos, I get the sense here that maybe the larger furniture was left because it was outdated or old (note the 60's/70's era tvs), and the real estate agent enhanced it with smaller display items to personalize it.
Thank you Bobbi, for the logical explanation. The staging added even more atmosphere to these beautiful photos, good job!
It may not be staged. When I bought my last house, the owner's kid was the last one to live there. She packed up her car and left. There were a lot of personal belonging and there was no effort for them to come collect them. Also, when my grandmother left her house, she left by ambulance. All of her stuff was there, except the cloths she had on. My grandfather had already passed, so the house was basically left alone for a few months until she came home for hospice care. In both cases, it looked similar to these pictures. Sometimes people can't get to family houses, because they've moved away, or don't have time to clean things out before they sell. Sometimes old people don't keep the house up that well either. It's possible someone was living in this house a year ago, but it needed work done, they passed, and the family didn't come to get stuff. It looks like mold in some places, that could have happened quickly after the house stopped being used and there wasn't air circulating.
Tnx Bobbi
I watch urbex videos and people do just leave things behind. It is the wonderment.
