“This Exists And It Is Awful”: 50 Zillow Listings So Bad, They Look Fake
It’s no secret that the housing market is currently in shambles. Many Millennials and Gen Zers are abandoning hope of ever owning a home, meanwhile the ultra-wealthy seem to keep snatching up properties as if they’re collectables. And even if you manage to find plenty of home listings in your area, you might quickly realize that none of them are places you would ever be interested in inhabiting.
We took a trip to the Nightmare On Zillow Street Facebook group and compiled a list of their most amusing photos below. From toilets that have fish tanks attached to living rooms with disco lights poles for dancing, these homes certainly aren’t lacking in creativity. We hope you’ll enjoy this virtual house tour, and be sure to upvote the homes that catch your eye!

Google Lens says: This is a tortoise-shaped house located in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. The house was built using local materials and is designed to withstand the harsh desert climate. The tortoise shape is symbolic in Mongolian folklore, representing endurance, wisdom, and long life.
10/10 would buy. If my Irish-American skin didn't burst into flames in the desert sun like tinfoil in the microwave.
I think it has to be one of her babies. Just big enough to start carrying a house.

Is this a home or a private sci-fi museum? Honestly it's pretty cool. I'm seeing Star Trek, Lost in Space, Forbidden Planet, Doctor Who, and a bunch of things that look familiar but I can't quite place.
This is awesome! I would freak out every time I walked past that Dalek, but I still want it!
Toured A House With My Fiancé Today Where The Foundation Was Clearly Not Great (You Could See The Floor Was Slanted In Some Rooms). We Got To The “Basement” And Found This
If that post fails then there could be a few more.

When we first looking into purchasing a home back in 1990, we visited a home that was rented out. The occupants had installed a gym worthy multi-station weight lifting center on the top floor, causing it to visibly sag (as seen from the ground floor). Still we put an offer on it, conditioned on the floor spring back, review by a structural engineer and the owner repairing a corner of the house that was very damaged by erosion. The owner rejected the offer. A couple of weeks later, his agent reached out to see if we were still interested, so I suppose he visited his property 🤣 I'm so glad we didn't buy it but am still amazed that we could have purchased a three story home 10 - 15 minutes from downtown DC for $110,000. Just looked on Zillow. I'm guessing it would list for 700 - 800k these days. Very dystopian!
Not at all uncommon in old houses. The main beam in my basement is supported by 4 logs that are about 7" in diameter. That's a cross-section of about 38 square inches and each square inch should support a minimum of 1000 pounds. The right side of the water heater is parallel to the picture framing and the centerline of the log/post. The left side of the water heater is about parallel to the pressure tank, but not parallel to the right side of the water heater. Something looks a bit off, but I think that post is close to plumb and not a problem. Picture next.
I love how the pressure tank is just slumped over at the complete failure of the whole mess.
House never had a basement so someone dug one without properly supporting the house. That's why the foundation looks this good, it's not old. You can bet there's no moisture barrier under that stone and we won't even mention radon gas emissions. Guarantee there's no drain tile around the new foundation so you are guaranteed a wet basement.
The Nightmare On Zillow Street Facebook group has only been around since 2020, but it has seen immense success. The community has amassed a whopping 214K members, and it continues to grow every single week. According to the administrators of the group, it’s meant to be a place to collect home photo listings that make you think, “WTF?” And clearly, there’s no shortage of those kinds of homes on Zillow.
Some homes appear terrifying from the outside, whether they look like severe hazards or feature extremely questionable taste. And other houses appear relatively normal at first glance, but once you get a peek of the inside, you realize there’s a good reason why they haven’t sold yet. No home is perfect, but very few of these have enough potential to entice buyers.

Some people take porcelain for granite. And vice verse, apparently.
Growing up, I used to accompany my mom to countless open houses. Even if my parents had no real interest in moving at the time, she just wanted to know what was out there. Plus, it’s fun to be nosy and take advantage of the rare opportunity to get a glimpse inside someone else’s house. And it can be a great way to get inspiration for how to decorate your own home.
As an adult, I have to admit that I never attend open houses. But nowadays, there’s no need to leave your couch! No matter where you are, you can pull up Zillow on your phone or laptop and have a field day critiquing other people’s homes. And apparently, this is such a common pastime that HuffPost published an article breaking down “Why Browsing Zillow Feels So Good.”

According to psychiatrist Lea Lis, scrolling through home listings became a way for young singles to fill the void when they couldn't use dating apps during the pandemic. Instead of swiping through potential matches, they decided that they could instead peruse gorgeous (or ugly) homes.
Many also enjoy romanticizing the idea of moving outside of the expensive cities that they currently reside in, where they’ll likely never be able to afford homes. “They are wanting to escape from cities to a simpler, more green life. This has become more appealing for many, creating the mass exodus that cities like New York and Boston have experienced,” Lis told HuffPost.
Cullman, Alabama— This Is A Local Landmark Know As “The Castle”. It’s Located On The Beautiful Waters Of Smith Lake. This Private Residence Is Quite An Interesting Anomaly
This is evidence of a batshit crazy millionaire, and I approve.
I LOVE THIS! It fits the landscape perfectly, has just the right amount of whimsy to keep it from being overwhelming, and look at those views.
It's currently on the market, for $3.9 million. I honestly think that's a pretty good deal given today's market. Here's the blurb from Zillow.The Castle at Smith Lake, the iconic lakeside residence that embodies luxury and exclusivity. Built in 1980, this extraordinary gated home offers unparalleled 180' views and a sense of privacy that only The Castle can provide. The 2 story solarium captivates you with stunning natural sunlight throughout the day. The open kitchen and family room showcases custom architectural details, including one of the three fireplaces, and stone staircase. Capture more views from multiple open decks, grass landings, gazebo, and grilling patio which provides multiple areas for relaxation and entertainment. Indulge in the ultimate family lakeside experience with a boat dock, fish house, 4 boat slips with 2 lifts. It has an expansive 8,000sqft workshop, with 4 bays, 14x8 garage door, and full RV hookup. It can be purchased with 6+/- acres, with option to buy more
If they didn't have the stupid fake 'rock' next to the tower, it would look much better. Why not surface it in the dressed stone that makes up the other walls that the house is built on? Then it would look much more part of the landscape.
This looks like the house of a couple who couldn't agree on one style so went with both 😆it's mesmerizing
But Why?
Just use a feather duster on it to keep the dust off, and if you want to really clean it up, most likely only once a year unless you have goblins with grubby hands, you use soap and water and a soft brush, then wipe with a soft cloth.

Scrolling through Zillow can also be a great form of escapism and daydreaming. Most of us have imagined our dream homes since we were kids playing MASH during recess. But very few of us will ever have the opportunity to build a home; we might not even be able to purchase one!
So the next best thing is seeing what’s out there and critiquing them from the comfort of our own homes (or more likely, our own apartments). Plus, we can get an idea of what the housing market is like in other cities or states that we might not have ever considered moving to. As Dan Levy stated in the “Zillow” SNL skit, “I’d never live in North Carolina, but if I did, I could buy a big, gross mansion.”
This House Came On The Market In My Hometown And My Husband And I Knew We Were Going To Buy It Regardless Of What It Looked Like On The Inside
We absolutely adore it and see it for everything it will be when we’re done with it. However, we are enjoying the unique designs that are currently in it lol
"My Husband And I Knew We Were Going To Buy It Regardless Of What It Looked Like On The Inside" - sooo maybe show the overwhelmingly beautiful (I guess) outside that go with the underwhelming insides...?
My MIL has a genetic predisposition to have no understanding of even the most basic tenets of interior design. She must have consulted on this project.

At First Glance $1000/Month Looks Like A Heck Of A Deal In A City Where Rents Go For Much Higher
Until you realize it’s just a bedroom and you have to babysit the landlord’s kids and clean their house!! You’re paying them $1000/month to be their live-in nanny! Sacré bleu!!!
In Vancouver, where this house is, that's below average. People have been known to turn apartment balconies or entryways into "bedrooms" and rent them out.
Eeewww I love the beach and chickens part of the deal, the parenting the landlords' crótch goblins, not so much....
Erm if they PAY ME the 1 k a mth for being a f kin skivvy ,possibly ,but expecting an au pair which is what they litterally want to pay that ,and clean nanny etc ,ain’t happening , when is said woman meant to earn said money to pay that off pass
While you probably wouldn’t actually be interested in purchasing any of the homes on this list, it is true that there’s something out there for everyone. And according to Michelle Mastro at Business Insider, wacky homes have become increasingly popular in recent years. Zillow Gone Wild communities on social media have even inspired an HGTV show by the same name! Nowadays, real estate agents “actively try to juice up the bizarre elements of their homes” to try to attract the attention of quirky buyers, Mastro explains.

If you’re actually using Zillow to find a home that you love and want to purchase, the platform has some tips on how to find the perfect match. First, they recommend customizing your notifications. Houses tend to sell quickly, so you’ll want to know immediately when something that fits your criteria is uploaded. You can also make sure that you’re informed as soon as a house you’re interested in is updated.

Probably some little cabin at a lake or middle of nowhere, not a lot of room for this stuff.

Utilizing Zillow’s feature that allows you to save homes can also be helpful. You can see all of the listings you’re interested in in one place, and you can even compare your saved homes side-by-side. Meanwhile, when you’re searching for new homes, Zillow recommends searching for exactly what you would say out loud if you were describing your dream home. Their “natural language search tool” allows you to type in precisely what you want, without the hassle of toggling a bunch of filters.
In All Of My Home Searching, I Have Yet To Come Across Anything That I Would Consider A True “Nightmare”, But This Bathroom Does It For Me
What bothers me the most is, not just that there are no curtains, but the fact there are no signs there has EVER been a curtain rod to hang a curtain on. o.O
Meh. I lived on 100 acres with no neighbors for a mile in any direction. I had a glass block shower. I didn't care if the sheep could see.
Load More Replies...There once was a room with a loo, from which no one could see the view. It was too much work Oh, no!, to make a bigger window, so they raised the loo up as you do
Sometimes, in a basement toilet, it has to be raised to be able to flush properly. I think it can't be below the septic.
I once checked out a rental in Reykjavík. Shared bathroom ... ok, small studio ... sure, now here comes the kicker. A toilet/kitchenette ... I kid you not.
I really hope that is not the ground level. The last thing you want is an audience gathered on the sidewalk outside the window.

Looking At A Property Today. Found This In One Of The Outbuildings
We all can make an educated guess as to what the purpose was here. It's an incredibly bizarre find and a terribly sad reality. I spent a little bit of time investigating and taking pictures, but came across enough evidence to convince me that it hasn't been used for it's intended function since sometime in 2009. Beyond that, most everything else has been cleared out.

Let's Talk About This Bathroom Design
This is in my neighborhood, and many of the houses had this bathroom where you walk up steps (to our right), past the soaking tub, to the shower above the tub.
Seriously, who in his/her mind thought this was a good idea?
Yes come out of the shower slip and end up upside down in the bath.
Load More Replies...You've heard of things being "handicap friendly"? Well, that's handicap hostile.
Even ignoring the slip-risk, you're putting a lot of weight on the edges of the bath by walking across it. I doubt it was built to take that kind of stress.

Wife And I Looked At House Today, I Opened The Door To What I Thought Was An Under Stairs Closet Or Stairs To The Basement. It Appears To Be Half Of A Half Bath...would This Be A 1/4 Bath??
This is a quarter bath. ..... just so you know ...... A “full bath,” contains four key fixtures: a toilet, sink, bathtub, and shower. ..... A "three-quarter bath" lacks one of those four fixtures. Most commonly it has an upright stall shower, a sink, and a toilet. But in older houses or condos might have just a sink, toilet, and tub with no shower. ....... A "half-bath" has only two of the four —typically a toilet and sink........ and finally a "quarter bath" has just one of the four elements—typically a toilet. However another type of quarter bathroom is just a shower, often located by a pool.

Saw This Today Near My Home… What Is The Point? Is This A Bed For Flat Stanley? Hoping It’s Just The Angle But I’m Not So Sure
The angle might cause an illusion, but it sure looks like the top corner of the bed is the same height as the door frame. If it's a standard 6'8" doorway there's only 14" of clearance. When I was still young and skinny I'd only need a hair over half of that if I turned my head sideways, but I'm pretty sure that sailors on submarines get several more inches than that. Of course if you swapped in one of the sailor's mattresses you'd get several extra inches.
I think this is just staging furniture and the bunk bed is a little bit too tall for this particular room/house.
Someone saw one of those under bed desk units and built their own. Where they failed is they put the desk and chair UNDER the bed. The factory unit has only the desk under the bed, the sitting area isn't under the bed.
I had one with the sitting area under the bed, but it wasn't this close to the ceiling.

What’s going on? One wall is that lumber product that’s like wood chips glued together, and another looks like faux stone or a stone veneer.

That structure and the sign are mystifying

This House Was A Shock To Everyone When It Sold
It was not really safe to live in. We all thought it was going to be torn down. But the new owners had a plan. He doubled his money after paying what most people would not.
Not helpful without the numbers! What did he have to put into fixing it on top of the sale price to "double his money"?
The only sure way to double your money here is to fold it in half and put it back in your wallet.
Lookup 16 De Long St in San Francisco and you will see the dramatic transformation on the Zillow page. One particular highlights is that the home is conveniently located near public transportation and shopping. The freeway accessibility doesn't get much more convenient than in your very own backyard, a commuter's paradise.
The house is quite lovely. Thanks, Bi.Felicia, for that recommendation. As far as price, location, location, location, so I think it’s worth it.

I see a window, I see woods, I don't see how a neighbor would see in? (But I would feel uncomfortable using it with my back to the window!)
Imagine turning around to flush only to find a giant bear right outside the window looking straight in at you 😂

The buyer flipped it and sold it six months later for over a million. Link to the current photos in the comments... this is one of the most amazing "before and afters" I've ever seen. I just hope they did mold remediation first.
Because OP put the link in the comment section when they posted it on whichever page BP nicked the whole list from.

That’s A Lot Of Images!
I Had To Stop And Zoom In To Try To Figure Out What The Heck Was Going On Here... Holly Springs, NC
Another McMansion. Nothing but nonsense and stupid angles. Framers HATE building these things.
Eh up lol it’s the labrynth house 😂Bowie would have loved this … NOT
Holly Springs is only a couple of hours from me. I drive through there on the way to my cousins condo in Sunset Beach.
Random Corner Bear On Table With Possible Astro Turf?
Is It A House With A Trailer Inside Or Is It A Trailer With A House Outside??
Looks like a trailer with an enclosed porch. Y'all are a bunch of haters.
I know a family that did that. They had five kids and couldn't afford more than the shell of the house outside. The made a living room and two bedrooms in the outer house part, and used the bathroom and half-bath and the kitchen in the trailer. They slowly tore out the trailer and made a house one room at a time. The plumbing for one of the bathrooms is still in use (they now have 2 and a half-bath.) The kitchen was the last room they built, and although it took them twenty years, they have a perfectly fine house now.
Hmm
Getting rid of all the checkerboard and polka dots would be a good start. Oh, and the rooster/chicken fabric needs to go, too.
How Are You Supposed To Use The Oven?
We had one of those when I was a kid! Roll it over to the sink, hook up the water, plug it in and run it.
Load More Replies...That's a portable dishwasher, I have 1 that sits against the wall when not hooked up to the sink being used.
Seems Safe Enough
Looking At Listings, Then I Noticed Something About That One Picture. I’m Pretty Confused About Some Things These Days And So It Continues
How Many Slips/Falls Have Already Happened Here? Also, Who Thought This Was A Good Idea? …random Purse On The Sink?
Are you trying to tell us that someone accidentally caught you there?
Load More Replies...The purse could belong to the realtor who was taking pictures for the ad, set it down momentarily, and forgot to pick it up before snapping the photo.
New Home Owner Just Got This 1.5 Million Dollar Home… Amazing. Much More Things Not Photographed
I'm not even sure about what's going on with those shower tiles. Did they come into contact with some type of acid or something that formed that circle/hole?
It's a pipe that is crossing the corner, I'd say they just didn't cover it.

Very likely that there was a second half of this building, thus the high roof peak on one side and what would have been a solid dividing wall.
Amazing

Theoretically, yes. But if you look at the jacket hanging on the far right...
Load More Replies...I feel like this is a Landlord Special. Like there wasn't any storage space, so someone added a shoddy closet wherever they could wedge it. Kind of a dàmned if you do, dàmned if you don't situation...
This Is Just So Eerie
That's not cigarette smoke. Either this house had a fire, or their oil burner is spewing its smoke into the house.
Load More Replies...You guys, cigarette smoke turns things yellow or brown. NOT black. This is smoke damage from a fire. I know smoking is bad, but JFC, don't be so quick to look down your nose at others!
You Know, There's Nothing Really Wrong With This House, But It's The Rock In The Basement For Me
Eh...There are plenty of houses that have large 'Surprise Rocks' integrated into them. The rocks are usually stupidly massive and removing it would be too expensive or simply impossible. This is something you simply live with.
I'd surround it with scientific equipment and pretend it's the meteorite from Maniac Mansion!

If you notice the musical instruments, it quite clear they were attempting to sound-proof the room. I can't make a call about effectiveness as I don't know the entirety of the sound proofing they've done. I wouldn't look at this as serious.
Yup. Someone was using this room as a recording studio or practice space. I once bought 1000 flatpack egg cartons for the same purpose.

Most of these examples need to be torn down to the ground, salted, saged, and started over.
After a while, I expected to see a toilet seat styled as an electric chair.
Some were okay, but most of these people clearly had more money than sense/sanity/any kind of reason whatsoever.
Many of these are not awful. Some of them are weird. Some of the weird ones it is easy to remove whatever bugs you.
and buyers said my house was to cluttered HA, cimarron st aurora co
I'm a home owner. They're listing them to sell. Before our current house, we went to view one that had an acre of garden. It was overgrown; the house was covered in cobwebs. If you're going to try to sell anything, particularly a house, it has to appeal to prospective buyers. Individual tastes are one thing, but the level of mess or impracticality in some of these makes them unsellable. Unless it's for a flipping business, one normally wants to be able to move in straight away.
