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.

I'd live there, get a few more crosses and lazy boys. Maybe some animal heads and more carpeting
this stunning shouse
Is that a typo or are they pointing out that it's a house inside a shed?
...only three hundred grand for a house which violates the f*ck out of international building code, fire code, and life safety code; nice!..
...what are the odds of even more egregious DIY violations of electricial, mechanical, and plumbing code which we can't see in casual realtor photos?..

Isn't that in tornado alley? I wouldn't dare. It's like a giant trailer, any tornado will be drawn to that like a magnet.
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.
(looking at pictures) Huh? I don't understand. They're storing their stuff in there, what's so bad ab- ah, there's the, uh, living quarters, I see. Well okay then, it's not my style but I su- oh lawdy lawd a bunch of ~~crucifixes~~ crosses.
Edit: those are "just" crosses.
So they bought this place, but it's lack of natural sunlight kept attracting vampires, so they had to put up crucifixes everywhere to keep them away?
Minus the interior decoration this is like ideal for me.
My dream house is basically a garage with a house attached. But I guess a house inside a garage works too.
It's not terrible. It's definitely not for me, but I don't hate the living space.
Those look to be just crosses (popular with Protestants), crucifixes generally refer to a cross with ol’ J-dawg on it (popular with Catholics)
Huh. TIL.
(Thinking about it, the remnants of my Latin knowledge from school say that makes sense.)
"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.
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.
The wall of crosses is weird. What is the thing Jesus would least like to see if he returned?
Great economic housing and storage idea. Got the land for cheap I'm sure. Giant steel building probably one of the cheapest options you could go for. Sweat equity just interior walls.
Way to go whoever you are!
You have no idea how hard it is wire, plumb, heat, cool, and add rooms. My one Daughter of mine as a FIL who has been a successful contractor. And they did something similar to that, building a house out of a pole barn and while mostly happy with the results so far, it was not as ideal as first thought in the end. The heating bill is insane with those crazy high ceiling.
Surely you would only heat up the smaller living areas
This looks like if an alien made a hamster cage for humans. The little plastic 'home' and all
No joke but aside from the lack of windows, this place is perfect. Well, windows and Kansas..
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.
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.
Here I'm just thinking that'd be an amazing place to have my boardgame collection and nerd space.
You'd never have to finish a game, just set up a new table!
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.
Holy shit that crucifix wall on image 32 is insane
They're just crosses, I don't see any Jesuses.
HE ESCAPED
Better hope a cat gets him before he finds another Jesus and they breed. Then you've got an infestation.
I think that's what pushed it from unusual to over the top for me. I knew this community would get a laugh.
I've been sitting here trying to decide whether or not "shouse" was a typo.
I think it's cool. This would be an outdoorsman's dream
TBH to me this is very appealing. I want a lot of space that is isolated from others and protected from the elements. This picture shows all those things.
I don't understand this, but I also don't hate it.
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.
My family had a flag in our front yard for the first 10 years of my life, because my dad’s brother was in Afghanistan for the majority of that time. That said, we certainly wouldn’t put one up now :/ it’s been tarnished without question.
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.
"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 can see the appeal. I also like sunlight though, so might have to put some windows in.
