30 Of The Funniest Real Estate Listing Fails (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Some would argue that searching to buy a home nowadays is easier than ever. Thanks to the Internet, people can find a place to live without stepping a foot outside. All they have to do is fire up a real estate website and get to scrolling. However, finding a diamond in the rough can be quite a challenge considering that the pool of options is getting smaller due to house shortages. Sometimes weeks' worth of scrolling through real estate listings only result in the strangest properties that raise the question, “How can anyone live here?”
The Instagram account Bad Real Estate Pics is full of such examples, starting from dancing poles in the middle of the living room and ending with cemeteries in the backyard. If you’re in the mood for some real estate humor, scroll down to find the best this account has to offer, and be sure to leave your own thoughts below!
While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with realtor Barbara Thomas, who kindly agreed to share a few tips on how to make real estate photos more enticing for buyers.

Um, also, the little side table that seems to be having some sort of traumatic flashback?

I’m not sure if it’s the picture of the guy with a gun or the one that declares’ welcome to the bone zone’ that I’m more concerned about

This is 'just' Ocher (an iron compound) in the well water. The well needs an areation filter (but they are not cheap)

My kitchen has very few cupboards, the dishwasher is a wasted space, if you open mine, its full of my storage containers. I don't use enough dishes to make it useful, so its more useful as a cupboard.

My worst nightmare! I remodeled my bathroom 3 years ago and it didn't cost too much extra to install a TV in view of my bathtub. The TV was completely water proof and was made to go in showers for high end hotels. At the last minute, I chickened out and had the contractor install it in the the wall outside the tub/shower area because I was terrified it would end up in my tub with me.

Drains - the toilet has to be raised as this is probably a basement, and if not raised, will backflow - trust me.

So - one's a bathroom (L) and one's just a toilet. How many times does one in the family need a wee, but eldest daughter is in the bath?

Or just keep the lid down. Not sure why people leave their toilet lids up anyways, especially with pets in the house.

This isn't that shocking. Seen plenty of apartments this small in NYC and Boston.

If they changed the counter and island, it would be just fine.

Always nice to have a large c.ock in the middle of the room with your creepy clown collection

That's a witch window. Vermont’s settlers were really smart with (but mostly cheap) their home designs. They put in slanted windows to brighten and air out spaces that could have been wasted. This brings in more light and air, keeping the home's original look intact. ---------------https://www.vermonter.com/witch-windows/#The_history_of_witch_windows_in_Vermont

I've been looking for a house for around 18 months, none of these scare me. It's kinda old hat by this point. I could have added one that would make you shake your head. 3/2 with around 1200sq ft, with a basement. A very old woman(?) lived there and you could make out when she got to various points of immobility by the "waves" of stuff in the house. EVERYWHERE was full except the bed area and the en suite. The listing said that it would be the buyers responsibility to empty the property upon the death of the owner.

I have to ask. The living room in the basement didn't worry you?
