Your dream home!



That's "dream home" as in "blurry, confusing, difficult to explain, and likely to bore anyone you attempt to describe it to." But really, for just $550,000 is it worth the time to take a good photo? Nah.

(Found by Katrina, who says it makes her motion sick.)

At least they're trying


So this doesn't look so great (and an engine block seems like an odd thing to accent in a listing). But a peek at Google's "street view" shows that actually this is spiffed up for the sale:


So, cheers!

Have you ever looked at the wallpaper? I mean, really looked at the wallpaper?


Another Dutch find of Sue's. I would make a joke about hallucinogens, but my mom reads this blog. (Everyone, wave hello to my mom!)

My childhood nightmares were TRUE


Annie found this truly terrifying basement. Yes, that's a basement. To be fair, the listing does say that there's a "BASEMENT FULL OF WATER." And look -- there it is! So we'll have to find something else to pick on... like... um... this!


No, never mind, the listing also says that "BASKET BALL COURT FL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED."

Wait.

What?

Basketball court?

What kind of a house is this? Let's look at the Google street view:

Huh.

Avert your eyes, children!



I don't care what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes. But when people take photos of these activities and post them to the Internet where any child could see -- why, that's just going too far, darn it.

(Found by househunter Megan.)

Maybe you're not squinting hard enough


Found by Ellen, who says it's a "Magic Eye Poster, Real Estate Edition." The thing is, I've been to Sunnyside. It really looks like that.

The trouble with listings


Eeek! It's a giant Tribble! Power up the transporter!
