Assessed value is often very different from the actual/sale value of a home because it refers to the value that the home is taxed on and is subject to all sorts of limits depending on where the home is and which laws it’s subject to. For example in some states assessed value can’t increase above a few percent a year unless the home is rebuilt.

[–] jaybirrd 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's more accurate to look at the sale/listing price history. That shows that this house was listed as high as $599k in 2018 and dropped as low as $249.5k before it was taken off the market in 2019 with no sales. So theoretically it would have been bought for less than $250k but the seller wasn't willing to sell that low and may be waiting until the market in Detroit appreciates before putting it back on the market.

It's in the middle of Detroit. Even at 50k, you'll lose money on that investment.

Lol $52,200 estimated sale value with $2380 rent value.

That's how batshit crazy real estate is right now wtf

[–] jaybirrd 2 points 1 year ago

Not quite that crazy. The $52,200 is the assessed value for property taxes which is typically much lower than the true value of the house that it would sell for.

You should take a human dose, I don’t think that little LSD will do anything for you.

The designer saw the colour chartreuse one day and thought "yes."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I actually like the line green tables and chairs in the kitchen. The walls hurt my eyes though

This is such a rich old Italian man's home in the US, it's not even funny.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

You're right! I was leaning towards Balkans, but not enough gold for that.

This is the main character in a line of NPC houses

[–] Ghostalmedia 4 points 1 year ago

Why type of quests does this house offer me?

[–] Bootheal0179 12 points 1 year ago

AI generated home

I'm lost for words

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I could actually form a complete thought inside that house. Maybe if the thought was, "I need to get out of here!" I thought it was bad at the beginning, thinking these people sure did go with their style, but then there was another style, then another.

The realtor should have made them empty the place for the pics.

[–] mikeboltonshair 3 points 1 year ago

They must have specifically said I want it photographed the way it’s staged (prob just normal every day living) like with the dolls sitting at the table lol

This person really likes a theme

[–] Countess425 9 points 1 year ago

It's glorious and should be registered as a National Landmark.

It looks just like my grandparents house from the mid 60s. My grandmother still has a wall of mirrors in her condo now.

[–] blueskiesoc 9 points 1 year ago

I think I stubbed my toe in every room.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Hideous and tacky. Almost like having a chandelier in the bathroom.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Honestly the interior just makes me nervous. I’d never be able to relax and not be cleaning lol.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Interior design is my passion!

[–] Tenthrow 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you seen the house that has a paper towel holder in every single room including the bathroom?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I never knew I needed that until now. We just have loose rolls in every room.

[–] TheFonz 8 points 1 year ago

LSD man. What a trip

[–] Andvari 8 points 1 year ago

Lol, statue of David in the shower huh? Statues, models everywhere...

[–] bricks 7 points 1 year ago

I was like… yeah weird, but some people are weird.

Then I saw Elvis.

And then I saw the car in the garage.

And then I saw the outdoor fence.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

My eyes have never been so offended.

[–] ronalicious 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i am mesmerized and repulsed at the same time, but you could do worse for $52.2k

The inside of this house reminds me of Rocko's Modern life. It's like a real life version of a 90s cartoon house.

[–] RoxActually 5 points 1 year ago

Clearly a child was decorating this place.

[–] Apex_Fail 4 points 1 year ago

What in the actual fuck?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Designer couldn't decide if they wanted a David Lynch aesthetic or a Wes Anderson one and tried to do both at once.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is awesome

[–] merida_belle 4 points 1 year ago

That just …. Kept getting …. Weirder. What exactly did I just see?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Was this posted by the homeowner as some sort of vanity thing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yikes! To all of it!

[–] Restaldt 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow that person is super into the oyg part of the color spectrum

[–] candyman337 2 points 1 year ago

Wow that's so much

[–] RedditRefugeeTom 2 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah. I love that garage workshop. So jealous! The whole house is amazing IMO haha.

[–] jcb2016 2 points 1 year ago

That’s madness. So bright and neon!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That estimate seems off by at least an order of magnitude.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure a drug dealer owned this house and allowed their trashy spouse to decorate. It screams of lower class wealth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Old white guy, actually....

[–] pdxfed 1 points 1 year ago

I was doing ok until the kitchen

[–] Sidhean 1 points 1 year ago

These pictures feel like they're from I'm On Observation Duty or something.

my poor eyes

[–] Jimmyeatsausage 1 points 1 year ago

A lot of decisions were made in that house...
