Looking for a place you could call home? Then you came to the right place. Well, at least for some laughs. Welcome to a world where real estate photos go a bit crazy.

But here's the catch: not all real estate agents are photography pros. Honestly, some seem to have missed the memo entirely. Thanks to the X page “Bad Realty Photos”, we’ve gathered the most mind-boggling and cringe-worthy examples of real listings found on the internet. From decor choices that make you question reality to some real creepy stuff, the page celebrates “low standards and a lack of attention to detail”.
Keep scrolling to see some of the weirdest real estate photos ever. And feel free to let us know which ones you find the quirkiest by leaving a comment or giving them an upvote!

Probably just "Ireland". The hard part is stopping stuff growing.

Blessed are the topless for they shall be free of tan lines.
Load More Replies...They must have haunted grass and thats why so many holy pics and crosses
How cramped was the party? It may be because I'm American and this looks small to me, but isn't this small for a backyard?
I would crawl naked over crushed glass for the one with nice grass in here in Minneapolis almost nowhere has that much space and if you did it was probably a duplex so you gotta share anyway...d@mn that grass is amazing
Load More Replies...Get a giant inflatable light up devil. Surely that'll drive them off the deep end.
Could one copy and paste a check to pay the mortgage? Asking for a friend.
I think the counter overhangs and extends to the skirting board but it is just taken at that precise angles and now me eyes hurt 🥴
Load More Replies...That took me a while to figure out. I thought the cooktop was on the floor at first!
The top bit is quite a cool impossible/optical illusion picture. What is the bottom bit?
The bottom pic? It's from "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"
Load More Replies...In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Andy Donaldson, the creator of “Bad Realty Photos”, shared that the concept for making the blog, along with starting an Instagram account and a Facebook page, emerged when he was searching for apartments online in London in 2013. “Before long, I was spending more time saving hilariously bad photographs to my desktop than booking viewings, which left me with a dilemma: What to do with the photos?” Once he shared a few peculiar finds along with some witty captions, the response was overwhelmingly positive, and that's how the now well-known page came into existence.
I like the room. Nice windows and love 🔼 style. You get the cute teddy bear if you buy the house?😄
oh wow i didn't even notice the sheets!! lol yeah that juxtaposition is... something else! poor stitch has probably seen some things...
Load More Replies...A friend of mine…..honest a friend :) was moving house, took her bed apart and left it for the movers to load onto the van, it was only when she went to reassemble it in the new house she noticed all her playtime additions were still attached to the frame and headboard, she was mortified as the movers were family friends of her parents and she had known them forever
I had the same embarrassment. Not movers but my sister was over and needed something so I told her to just go into our room and get it. We still had our playtime stuff attached and I had forgotten. She came out and said "Hey, does that stuff work pretty well?" I was mortified and confused as to why she was wondering O.o...
Load More Replies...It's the Lilo and Stich bedsheets that really take this to an entirely new level for me....
It's funny how everyone reads this as kinky even if it's a historical artifact. I do too though.
The caption alone makes this up vote worthy! Lol I snorted a little...
Thats scary for a little baby to wake up to each morning, the face over the cot aswel
I'm a grown a*s adult and that is nightmare fuel.

We reached out to Andy again to learn more about his Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos project and what he enjoys the most about curating and maintaining the page. The creator shared that “the sheer variety of the horror, and the unending stream of terrible decisions” is what keeps him posting. “This is the reason I never have any trouble staying motivated. I am pathologically driven by other people’s low standards,” he added.

After months of intensive therapy and medication the tile installer has stopped finally stopped screaming and now just sobs "why" over and over again from the corner of his padded cell.
From the creators of the pool bar, gives you kitchen tub!
Load More Replies...Now that right there is a safety concern! Need those bar stools just to get on and off the stage.
Ha. That was my first thought too. Where are the stairs!! Maybe some behind the cabinets?
Load More Replies...The tub doesn't look large enough for an adult, but the counters are too wide for a parent to comfortably bathe an infant there.
It hasn't got that little mat that goes around the toilet, disappointing.
Load More Replies...It's the seat cover that's killing me. The rest is bad, but that seat cover just takes it to a whole scarier level.
Why do people do that? A toilet should be wipe-down-able. All surfaces.
Load More Replies...three light switches!? One for the main light, one for the side light and one for the disco lights?
Eww. Considering how glitter gets into everything and seems to stick around forever, definitely don't want it in a bathroom
With all this they still couldn't find a decent place to store the extra toilet paper!
I like a bit of coordination, and sparkle. Sometimes together, but this is a bit much. Even for me.
The wall would do nicely in a childen's bedroom but the sparkly switches, the glittering mermaid pedestal, and the unappetizing toilet cover are OUT
Load More Replies...We asked Andy what he thinks makes a real estate photo truly "bad" or unusual in his eyes. He replied that these pictures are made to help people buy and rent homes and apartments, “so any photo that makes us ask ‘what?’ or ‘why?’ or ‘how did that horse get there?’ has failed. Those questions are what makes a photo stand out to me, and they’re everywhere.”
Pretty sure this was Old Murphy's original bed, and how his famous law came to be.
Good idea, terrible execution. I'm guessing this is a rental and they were not able to make real alterations, but could see this work with a bit of additional engineering
Load More Replies...I think if you look, this is an attic that's been converted to a suite. The stairs look covered over. Why you wouldn't remove the bannister I have no idea
Because if you removed the banister and put the bed at floor level, you wouldn’t be able to get up the stairs
Load More Replies...I really love this color, so it probably wouldn't bother me as much as some.
Load More Replies...Um.. I'm liking this, but then green is my favourite colour. But not the sparkly green toilet from earlier. That was too much even for me😁
Kitchen in my new house is that bright, but yellow. I hate it. Will be repainting soon.
With photoshop's new AI, even these people will be able to do a decent job of it. If they actually take 5 minutes to read the how to.
5 minutes!?! Are you nuts? That’s way too much time lol
Load More Replies...I think the entire image has been Photos"hoped"
Load More Replies...Looking at the listings, we were curious to know if Andy ever received feedback or comments from real estate professionals regarding his posts. “The blog is very popular with real estate professionals all over the world, and we still receive submissions daily, even after 10 years. Obviously, none of the real estate professionals who follow us have ever been personally responsible for any bad photos themselves, according to my lawyers,” he told us.
Add the bed with the scaffold and we are speaking major good times here
You mean the bed with the shackles? Or the one about to fall over the stairwelll?
Load More Replies...I actually live in a vintage 70s house. Already got the cork floor and picture wallpaper in. Am now thinking if I should also do the bathroom in avocado green LOL
Load More Replies...This is exactly how my Great Aunt's house looked. Down to the chairs.
Also as it's clearly caused by a re-design, not architect's fault --- just a solution to a bad constraint.
Load More Replies...Weird is ok. But that's because I like it too, so....
Load More Replies...Is it bad I wanna try to ride the banister all the way down?
I’m not sure, I also want to slide down the banister
Load More Replies...Ever since Andy began "Bad Realty Photos," he's seen that real estate photos are getting better and more professional. Luckily, for all the fans of awful real estate photos: the source of terrible images isn't running out anytime soon. “There will always be new content to share, things will never improve, and it will never, ever end,” Andy shared.
Except the stairs behind the door, but as space here is limited I guess I'd get used to it. Rather not have a steeper stair.
Load More Replies...A bed I think. Making greatest use of limited space.
Load More Replies...This is what Lovecraft meant when he wrote about non euclidean geometry
Mirrors all around... As if I Wanna see my flubby butt from all possible angles... SMH
I just came back from vacation where I had the weirdest shower ever. It had its own turret in the house and was massive. But it also had a full length mirror right where you could watch yourself shower. I really didn't need to see all that! :)
Load More Replies...Genuine question: how on earth do you use a bidet? Do you poop in the toilet then have to stand up and walk to the bidet to then clean yourself?
Get one of the Japanese toilets with the built in spray
Load More Replies...Not gonna like, I'd love a pink tub. (Maybe not one I'd break my neck getting in to) But all those mirrors would make me motion sick!
People used to joke about going to the laundromat and watching the clothes spinning in the dryer like we watch TV, so…
With it's placement at the bottom of the stairs, I'm hoping that's just a monitor for security cameras.
Load More Replies...Sit on the stairs to watch TV. Sit on the sofa to watch laundry.
I remember this! The house was heavily damaged so the realtor made sure to include this photo for context. Someone actually bought it and fixed it up, I think.
This is probably in the interest of full disclosure for someone interested in buying a fire damaged property for cheap.
This was an actual picture used to sell this house in Tennessee, as-is!
Guy on YouTube named Mike Thakur (https://youtube.com/@realmikethakur?si=UuXO7J7ffJ3oRDY8) bought the place and is actively rebuilding it.
Yeahhh if you look at the carpet, there's a cleaner looking square where a bed was.
Load More Replies...I have hung curtains on a large blank wall before. It adds dimension and color to the big flat space, protects the wall, and improves acoustics.
We are all just prisoners here of our own device
Load More Replies...I am as disturbed by the plastic wrap on the table as I am by the clown. Or is that one of those Godawful plastic table covers?
No. That's the folded corner of the clear tablecloth catching the light just right.
Load More Replies...Honestly, any kid who had to share a room would be happy with this. it even has a window
I grew up sharing a room with three sisters. This would have been heaven
Load More Replies...If I was a kid and it was either this or sharing a room with a sibling I'd go for this every time. Its' like your own little hideaway.
Agreed, many teenagers would jump at this set up.
Load More Replies...I would have loved this. I had a habit of burrowing myself into a smallest nooks and crannies and I slept better without too much open space. And this has a window too.
Shoot, as an adult I would be happy with this if the price was right.
Wait. Isn’t that Sandra? Is she done checking out the upstairs, but couldn’t find you at the stables?
Honestly, I have horses, and the thought of them sharing a house with me...they basically poop and pee wherever, whenever! Very unhygienic! I might as well move into their stalls!
My pony would have ripped that gate down with her teeth and come inside to poop in the kitchen. :)
Load More Replies...I like the little kiddie gate, as if that would stop a horse who actually wanted in.
No, the horse is talking to Sandra, who is also a horse.
Load More Replies...I had a sneaky pony that would come in the house if the kids left the door open.
Me too. She got herself in to all kinds of situations. She could break out of any fence! One time she managed to open the door to an old shed that was set up off the ground and jumped about 5 feet in to it. We caught her in there eating old hay and pooping everywhere. :)
Load More Replies...I had a horse, as a kid, that loved to walk inside the house. I though it hilarious, Mom and Grandma nit so much.
I have now seen several pix of these types of scenarios over the last several years and I am always curious about the reasoning behind kitchen bathing. Perhaps I am missing something obvious.
The water supply and drain/sewer are probably there. I bet the toilet is behind the bath wall.
Load More Replies...It was an office bldg in a majr City that was turned into one room residential apartments with every thing in that same room - each one selling at an insane $$$.
No. That’s just a guy. It’s like the entire world is their bathroom to p**s in, literally as well as metaphorically.
From the b!ck, he really looks like the guy I just started dating. I wish I knew ehat's on the back of that shirt. It might BE him. 🤨
Load More Replies...Perhaps the owner isn't sure that he really wants to sell the house.
What's the problem with this one? I think it's cute. And the knight armor is just awesome, I don't think it necessarily needs a different setting to still fit nicely there
Extra up-vote for anyone who sang the Camelot song or pushed a pram-a-lot while reading the comments.
Load More Replies...reminds me of mark twain's book a Connecticut yankee in king Arthur's court xD
"At what point do we say it's too much?" - "Dunno, but it's overdue"
I'm afraid I don't see the point in decorative pillows on the bed at all, let alone 700.
I've got one throw pillow I keep in my bedroom. But it gets used. Under my knees, or under an elbow, sometimes I need extra help staying upright if I'm sick... But it never lives on the bed.
Load More Replies...Sorry to be pedantic, but it drives me crazy. There is no such thing as a "fourth dimension" if all four are spatial. I mean, what's the "third dimension"? Height? Width? Length? You have three dimensional space and you have four dimensional space. The top of this house seems to exist in four dimensional space.
As an adult, Dylan still doesn't really understand when his memory problems really started. He thought the trampoline in the basement was a fever dream.
We had a trampoline when I was a kid. I managed to give myself some pretty good damage even with it being outside and NOT 6 feet from a ceiling XD I used to love to climb out onto the roof from my bedroom window and crawl onto the patio beams, where I would then jump down onto the trampoline. Sometimes I'd try to bounce from the trampoline into our pool. I was a stupid child.
Load More Replies...Extend your home with this DIY room under $200. It uses only re-used 2x4s and a tarp and common hand tools!
Looks like a homeless shack. Sometimes the knock together this kind of thing in old subway or drainage tunnels. Even down to the art on the walls. Just because your homeless don't mean you can't have nice things.
What's with the layout of that staircase? Is there a mirror? With another corridor behind it? Or two mirrors stacked?
I don't get why it's posted, most poor areas are full of gardens like that...
Load More Replies...I had a real estate agent who took these kind of pics. Said she didn't want a potential buyer to suffer under any delusions. Brilliant really. And she had a great career.
I did not approve of someone putting my garden on social media
And good luck moving anything up there (or down there) (or through there). Sorry still working out the geometry.
Load More Replies...I am a little concerned about the door with a straight fall onto the stairs, yikes
I thought it was a window, which would still be bad... but a door!!! Someone's in for a surprise when they open that door...
Load More Replies......and a door halfway up the wall inviting people in for a broken neck or maybe out for a jump.
I wouldn't be too worried otherwise, but my limit is that the bricked up fireplace bleed every night. Cryptic messages in the mirror and scary ghost demon children are still tolerable if the rent is low enough. In these times, one must not be too picky.
For fück sake, first the clown now this? Thanks BP, gonna have nightmares for years now. Seen to much horror movies.
I had the same thing on my bedroom door as a little kid. It was creepy 🙍🏼♂️
What bothers me the most is the actual desk chair isn’t the one at the desk.
I give my washing machine and hoover a days off on fri sat and sundays
Love the curtins there so cool, room needs less wood and more bright colours tho
I'd be happier if the grain on that wood ran in the same direction.
Load More Replies...i invented the piano key necktie! what have you done?! nothing! nothing!!!
That’s what my MIL would do to decorate her room. (Actually, she did once. She hanged a bed sheet with flower on her wall, because she saw somewhere flower themed wallpaper and decided that bed sheet will do as fine)
I like the idea of a colourful mandala cloth hanging in the living room or something but not in replace of wallpaper
Load More Replies...I don’t understand this list. In Norway they ask you to remove things when taken pictures to sell the house. To make the pictures look appealing so more people wanna rent/buy..not this list.. Edit; what is it under and over the table??
I'm the same but darn those shops with glass windows showing my fat a**e up for the size that it is!
Load More Replies...Florida Man had an incident with a waist height mirror when he took his underwear off.
For fück sake…you wanna sell or rent out at least clean and remove unnecessary stuff?!
The black mold across the baseboards and up the wall.
Load More Replies...If it wasnt dangerous for health and house I would love to have it. I love moss and always wanted to have it inside.
Yes! I LOVE the Stephen King short story it's based on, too XD
Load More Replies...A man? You know, some people live on their own (and can keep the toilet seat up if they wish.)
Load More Replies...I may be silly for this opinion but: this looks like a hoarder's house. Hoarding is a mental illness and I don't think that's something to laugh at.
You are not silly for this opinion. This is nothing to laugh at.
Load More Replies...It’s sad no one helped out to remove things before taking pictures to sell/rent out the house. Again, in Norway they won’t take pictures if it looks like this, or even take the job to try to sell it. This one is just sad tbh! I hope the people living there get some help.
When we were renovating our house, almost everything from our 5 people household had to be in one room. It looked like that 🤣
I do that. I use it to put my laundry basket on the seat, so I don't have to bend down to pick the clothes out to hang up....dodgy knees.
I'm not sure why you think none of these are in the US, cos plenty are.
