Just because the listing is clearly a photo -- TAKEN THROUGH A WINDOW -- of another photo is no reason to be suspicious.
On second thought... is this a photo of a computer monitor? And if it is, does that make more sense? No. I think not.
These are not what I usually think of when I picture "junkyard dogs." And this is not what I usually think of when I imagine the backyard of my dream home. (Not even if my dream home "IS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE ALAMEDA SWATMEET").
We'll be waiting for you (doo-dee doo-dee doo doo)...
The heater is nervously hugging the wall, hoping the stove won't see it. Who will win the battle of the heat sources? Oh, the suspense!
I know the idea of buying a fixer-upper is that you fix it up, get rid of the previous owner's decorating ideas, and make it your own. But could you ever wipe the memory of this from your mind?
You come here for the snark, I know, I know. But look at this! Look at this wallpaper! How excellent is this? I just had to share. (Plus some people will think it's hideous, so we all win!)
According to the listing, this is a "FUSSY ENCLOSED BACK YARD."
Shhh. Don't wake him up. I have a funny surprise for him after his nap. I'm selling the house, tee hee hee!
By moving into a pre-stickered, pre-fingerprinted, pre-scrawled upon house, you save the time it would take to do it yourself.
Call me a spendthrift, but I think when you're asking over $500,000 for a house it's okay to splurge on a camera. Go on. It's fine. You don't have to use your cell phone to take the photo.
No... on second thought, maybe I'd rather not know.
This house is being sold not only "as is," but "where is," according to the listing. It never crossed my mind that location was up for discussion. Perhaps I should try to renegotiate my house into having a view of the Caribbean.
Oh, hi, honey. Nope, just taking some photos. No need to get up. I'm not selling the house or anything. Gotta go!
And with this loan, you can fix this... uh... corner? Floating ceiling? Interior? Exterior? I have no idea.
