I know what you're thinking: House like this is going to look like a steak house on the inside, right?

You would be absolutely correct.

Nothing puts me more in my comfort zone than sitting on this folding chair, working at my awkward desk, breathing in fumes from the clothes dyer on a crisp winter's night.

Now let's see, 'When You Can't See God's Hand, Trust –––" WHA AAAAAHH! HOLY FUCK MY LEG!"

I should post some from my area. The latest in Russian tryhard decor.

Please do. This is an Open House.

Who puts slogans on their wall like that? It looks like a nursing home.

Also, I love this shit so much. Gotta go find some corkers.

when we were househunting we looked at a place that was just like that converted garage, it was like there had been a terrible murder & they had just done a fly by night carpet/paint job.

oh and: no acoustics. completely dead sound. creeeeeeeepy as fuck.

There were a lot more fish in that barrel than I imagined last night when I started clicking around the local realtors map.

After a long day at the office, I like to kick off my flip flops, snuggle up under a sleeping bag in my favorite lawn chair, and listen to a CD."

Whoops. Don't forget to turn on the spotlights.

It's hard to reach the light switch when the earth is tilting like that.

lol the harp photo

I don't know if this goes here or on the your terrible ideas thread.

But browsing through the Memphis listings, decided there really should be an Eggleston Realty Co.

House painters and interior design mags convince people to do all kinds of stupid shit, often because it costs more and/or will seem tired in a few years. Painters convinced us to do a stupid-looking two-tone thing in our eat-in kitchen that I really regret. Walls really don't need to be two colors.

Horror House II: the Stalking Sink.

The place in that pic costs $200 a week people. Melbourne is an expensive hell.

What is that room? And down here, what's going on with the mirrored top in front of the mirror with the ... air hockey puck on it?

http://i.imgur.com/72Mf62F.jpg

Anyway. Melbourne might be expensive, but blue paint sure ain't.

Ha, right? I think thats just a living room, with a laundry off it because that makes sense? Actually, tbf the ad was for a bungalow behind a house, so its probably only 2 rooms all told.

Now thats how you sell a bedroom ... ? :|

They'll give you 15, but you'll only need five!

Ugh I fucking hate how narrow OFI windows are. And at such useless times, too, who has time to get off work and make to an opening at 5 if they work til 5.

I miss the days when you could just walk into an agents, pick up the keys for a bunch of properties and leave a fiddy for each one in deposit.

I've tried to understand what's going on with Australian real estate, but it's hopeless.

For example, in the States, you hold an auction only if it's a foreclosure or it's a shitty property that no one wants. Apparently down there, it's the opposite - you take the photos and show your home, then wait for the big auction day where you'll likely get more than you asked for.

(Well, in Sydney, at least.)

Yeah sale by auction is something that crept in maybe 15-20 years back and seems ubiquitous now. And its precisely so they can make as much money as possible (a la ebay auctions I guess). I've been priced completely out of home ownership because I need $80k just for the *downpayment* and I just cannot get that sort of money together. Its insane.

yes they listed with swastika graffiti intact http://www.movoto.com/quilcene-wa/411-sea-home-rd-quilcene-wa-98376-501_320196/

Geez.

I was thinking thats a lot of money for a shitshack but its on 7 acres of waterfront, that'd go for like 3 jillion here :(

"Yah, you can look at it that way, but didja know that in some cultures, it's a symbol of luck?"

its a banksy

I feel IA at the shape of the living room in this luxury condo in my neighborhood that also sells for nearly 3x the price of a nearly equivalent co-op apartment.

You don't like that it ends at a point?

Look! You get that nifty little reading nook because of it. If it was flat, the nook would directly face the rest of the room.

IDK why it annoys me so much, partly just because it's so narrow compared to typical apartments in my neighborhood, which are mostly very spacious due to having been built in the 40s/50s. The point is awkward to me though, like it doesn't really look comfy as a nook, but it also doesn't interact with the rest of the room.

but it also doesn't interact with the rest of the room.

http://i.imgur.com/MobN7iy.jpg

Could that be the point?

http://i.imgur.com/btS0Gny.jpg

It does look narrow, but hey, isn't that life in the big city?

http://i.imgur.com/IZM4caY.jpg

"Can I get you anything? Perhaps some Pringles?"

xp, IDK it just looks like an awkward layout resulting from an awkwardly shaped building resulting from an effort to put the maximum # of apartments on an awkwardly shaped lot to me. And it's absurdly expensive for the area, although the terrace has a "bar pergola."

"Pressure-washer gathering dust? Have we got the house for you!"

That one hits a little too close to home.

As in, that is my home - how did you find it.

i am truley sorry for your lots

ok lol

That was fun. "OK, I guess that was all the wild stuff this one had –– OH SHIT."

that was like eight different homes worth of home
Two stoves flanked by two massive inset microwaves!
also an oval office and like fourteen pools and a walkthru shower i guess?

Acreage suitable for personal Helipad.

The drum kits got me

I guess i should give a warning of clowns (scroll through). https://www.facebook.com/coastalpgi/photos/pcb.2408731502578374/2408703915914466/?type=3&theater

As God as my witness, I will never understand the state of Florida.

I wonder if she's related to Wes.

lol i came to post that wappingers falls house. don't miss the two microwaves on top of one another!

found this nearby so you can live inside first reformed https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/10-Liberty-St-Chelsea-NY-12512/242648911_zpid/?

"OKAY, EVERYONE, FAMILY MEETING!"

- "Thanks, Father McGillicudy, for coming by to bless our new house."

- "Why sure, it's my – wait, what is this."

I have 2 microwaves on top of each other. I moved into a furnished flat while already owning one and didnt know what to do with them both. Luckily they are tucked away so you'd have to really snoop (or read ilx) to find out my shame.

it's ok it's not like you custom designed your kitchen to have them and then inexplicably bought two different brands

each big enough for a thanksgiving turkey
or a child
or two children really
makes you think

The owner of the Wappingers Falls house has some amazing credits (playing on Tilt!)

I'm not sure I'd ever be satisfied with just a 2/3 scale replica of the Oval Office. If you're gonna do it

that explains his drum set collection but does not explain the rest of his choices such as his bedroombathroom

Nice find, jmm. I was thinking it was a possible Gospel producer, based only on the light blue walls and fluorescent lights in the panel ceiling.

That desk in the Oval Office made me wonder if Mayor Pete would be the first to bring a standup desk in there.

When I saw the first couple of exterior shots I'm like "weird, why doesn't this mansion have a pool?" and then later I'm all ooooooooooooh OK then

Two bed, two bath... two stories?

that may be the ugliest house i've ever seen. also alan why u capitalize every single word

oh i missed the flatness of it. ok. well whatever, it's ugly.

wtf it's a wedge?

pie house is extremely cool imo, all front lawns should be turned into community gardens or compact housing

I like the idea but it does totally have that built in 2003 look.

I thought it was one of those facade houses you see on a movie set, until I saw the actual listing.

I mean, don't sneeze too hard around that thing.

I do gotta say this house was made for those awful wide-angle shots they use in the listings.

I mean, Living Room Dim. 23 X 12. I almost wonder if it was built out of spite.

I just cracked myself up imagining the sound of all of harbl’s responses to that house as delivered by a pennsyltucky renovation contractor over a shitty PTT radio

I’m easily amused

absolutely fucking deranged

there's some kind of photoshop prankery going on here right?? what IS all that stuff everywhere on the walls? how is that one attic window even cut into that wall? the angles seem all screwed up!

electrical outlets?

but............ so MANY

Almost looks like it was previously full of hospital beds or something.

Even the shower had too many knobs.

Kinda curious what the stove range must've looked like.

I've also learned tonight what is a "chain-free" real estate deal.

Not crazy about "virtual staging," but at least it's pretty easy to spot:

https://i.imgur.com/3m4I8nS.jpg

While I can usually deduce if something is fake, now I'm having a hard time deciding if something's real:

https://i.imgur.com/AVY1DaB.jpg

The TV is definitely a virtual addition. The fireplace doesn't look right. And I about decided those couches were a figment of someone's imagination until:

https://i.imgur.com/9aAlfTZ.jpg

Those couches are floating, right? Then why go through all the trouble, but leave in the personal effects on the wall? But maybe the furniture is real.

https://i.imgur.com/xuYJ0xs.jpg

But seriously. Those televisions are weirding me out.

ugh awful

what if... none of the decor was real?

lol which way is that bed supposed to be made up??

tv_on_a_stool.jpg like it ain’t no thang

Maybe it really ain't no thang!

But man, I'll say this: There is some cheap real estate in El Paso, Texas.

it's bad if that is a neutral decor look.

Those are some ugly ass virtual couches
