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

The wall of crosses is weird. What is the thing Jesus would least like to see if he returned?
I don't understand this, but I also don't hate it.
Finally, someone with a good grasp of the proper ratios when comes to house space vs garage/workshop space. Chuck in a few exterior windows and I would be fine with something like this.
I would be checking how much weight above the living space can handle though - I suspect it might not be up to suitable floor loadings for workshop usage.
Yeah, this is amazing. I’d buy it.
Some won’t understand—especially if they live in a matchbox apt in a concrete jungle and have the mechanical aptitude of a liberal arts student with hobbies to match.
Lol, chill, that was such an aggressive comment to no one.
I've installed Internet once to a warehouse like this that had a full on house built inside of one corner of it. Like we totally thought it was pretty normal, since we mostly installed for farms and the highest point to install the radios was usually a barn, shed or warehouse like this. But then when we went inside to run the cable, it was like a movie set. They even had a fake lawn.
It probably was a set for video productions. Of a certain kind.
i kno it's evil to say, but when people genuinely have an american flag on their property i immediately assume it's a shidpost or at the very least ironic. but it's not, which makes it fun.
Nope. These days it's an indicator that you're almost certainly dealing with a magat. Occasionally you'll see an American flag with a pride flag or something similar below it and know that it's ironic.
Used to be that mostly only ex military or similar would fly a flag. Some folks would fly a flag from their porch for happy fireworks day or memorial day if they had family that died in a war. You almost never saw anyone with an actual flagpole in their yard. Flagpoles were for schools, government offices and such.
I used to see American flags come out on or during the week of Independence Day or Veteran's Day or something similar where it was not unusual for people to put their national pride on display. That stopped happening when some people took it too far after 9/11 and started making patriotism into their whole identity and used it as a smokescreen for their overt bigotry. Now it's almost seen as a tacky or gaudy thing to do and I get why.
But yeah, if someone has a full-blown flagpole installed on their front lawn, they are 100% virtue signaling. Big MAGA-weirdo vibes.
Yeah, 9-11 was the beginning when I think about it.
Used to be you had a few, mostly paranoid conspiracy theory types, that even conservatives kind of looked down on and felt sympathy for them being mentally unwell.
It has morphed into this crazy fascist religious cultural identity shit that we have now. Fucking pod people. Sucks.
This shit is normal now and crazy conspiracy theory mentally unwell people are a big chunk of the population.
The really crazy thing is that Osama basically won. Him, 9-11, and the far right like Limbaugh infected the national psyche with something that may be terminal.
Holy shit that crucifix wall on image 32 is insane
I think that's what pushed it from unusual to over the top for me. I knew this community would get a laugh.
As someone who lusts after Dirk Pitt's studio apartment over a private hangar, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this.
I can finally start an anti-vampirism compound. It is already fully stocked with crucifixes.
I can see the appeal. I also like sunlight though, so might have to put some windows in.
Here I'm just thinking that'd be an amazing place to have my boardgame collection and nerd space.
For real. This would be incredible and it's significantly cheaper than the value of my little 1/8 acre starter home.
I've been sitting here trying to decide whether or not "shouse" was a typo.
What the hell did I just watch...
"shouse located in the quaint town of Denmark, KS"
This is one of the most absurd sentences I'll read this week despite republican efforts.
I knew of a house like this in another state and I'm guessing this one was done for the same reason. Hiding from the tax man. Buy some land, build a barn, get it on the tax rolls as an uninhabited structure and finally build your fully functional home inside.
I'm guessing this will be a headache of a sale. The taxes on Zillow didn't make much sense.
I never would have guessed, but that makes a lot of sense now. I'm on board with the theory that it's a big tax scam of some sort.
I was curious about how the zoning works on it. (I also have not a clue how planning permission works in the US)
It doesn't look like any external windows, so maybe it's a "this is technically industrial/farm space, but oh look, there is a bed and a kitchen, fancy that!" sort of deal.
The property tax? I checked a couple other listings of traditional homes around $160k in tbe same town and they showed nothing for taxes with assessed values around $10k which doesn't make any sense to me either.
Love it!!
With no egress windows (or windows at all) I’m surprised they are allowed to classify this as livable space..
Around me they have to be suuuuuper careful to not refer to any room lacking egress windows as “bedroom”, because it’s not up to code and thus isn’t living space. I assumed that was everywhere in the US.
The rooms do have windows… that lead to the shed. So checkmate, you northern yank.
The garages have taken over.
1990s: If you don't do good in school you're gonna live in a van down by the river!
2020's: I'd you take on six figures of undischargable student loan debt and work 3 jobs, you and two other couples could pitch in and buy a million dollar shed to put your van in.
Best comment of the thread so far 😂
"Does it have an attached garage?" "Brother does it ever"
ngl I kinda like the idea of having a house inside my shed lmao. I feel like that one "Race it, Break it, Fix it, Repeat" sign really says who the target market is.
Were you born in a barn!?
Christ that's a lot of decapitated things.
I'm assuming the inner building has its own air supply or there's just so much volume in the outer part so all the ICEs don't make everybody sleepy.
Sleepy sounds nice
It's weird but frankly I'd live here as long as it had high speed internet.
No people and I could probably shoot off my back porch... Living the dream.
shoot off my back porch
What did that porch ever do to you? Certainly there are more efficient was to be rid of it.
