Got a condo made of stone-a



Maybe it isn't fair of me to include these photos. Sure, they're badly framed and slightly tilted. But could you do any better if you had a penthouse with an "Egyptian theme that dominates the main living areas" to sell?

Found by Amanda. Many more excellent photos -- plus one ho-hum kitchen -- here.

It's housebuying time!



If you were going to have only two interior photos of a house you were trying to sell, would this be one of them?

(Found by Jamie, who used to live a few blocks away from the house and says the photo's a good fit for the neighborhood. So maybe it does make sense. Maybe.)

UPDATE: Sorry, that should be "house you were trying to rent," not "sell." ('Cause that changes everything?)

Surprisingly helpful



Yes, this picture is blurry and oddly framed. Yet from this one photo alone I know that I'm not interesting in buying this house. Thanks!

Poor Santa. Poor, poor Santa.



What do I know about chimneys? Nothing. So maybe this is all just fine. Maybe.

Not really my style.



It's okay to sell fixers -- but you really shouldn't call them "recently remodeled with newer kitchen and bath" if this is how they look. (Perhaps this shows the "termite damage in basement sill plates"?)

Pedal faster! Faster!



This is a joke, right? Right? Please? It looks like it's a photo of a photo. That's what I'm choosing to believe. (As to why it's in a real estate listing... well, who knows.)

Found by Jen -- thanks.

P.S. Yes, I know it's not real toilet in the house. That's not the point.

Please don't fight



Oh, come on, chair. You know you and table were meant to be together. Whatever it was that happened -- can't you forgive and forget?
