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.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

So when they list how many bathrooms they have…how does this fit into that count..?
Depending on your perspective this can be:
So i imagine when the sale gets posted it wil list all of the above with a ✅ rather then a count.
Multi purpose mezzanine 😂😂
Yea, 1 or 2
Technically more than 1 purpose.
That's funny...
I just looked at a local listing a few days ago that was listed as 0 bedrooms and 1 bath but also mentioned an office and spare bedroom in the description...
Turns out there really isn't an actual bedroom at all... The "main" bed is in the living room where most people would have a couch and it's wide open to the kitchen.
Then there is a shed out back that has a bed in it and electricity wired to it... This was elaborated on in the description to be either a "spare bedroom, office, she-shed, etc... The possibilities are endless".
Then there was a stackable washer dryer unit in this rock and dirt basement that looks like some torture chamber where you'd expect to find a body or two buried.
Built in 1909... Tiny lot... Maybe .04 acre at best... $350K
There actually was one relatively normal bathroom though.
the whole second floor is a bathroom
Well, let's give it the best possible chance at being a room. And say that at the top and bottom of those stairs is a door.
The toilet would need to be at least 15" from the wall to the center line, which let's also say it is exactly.
The smallest a bathroom can be is 15 sq feet. Stairs don't count, and it's probably fine, because stairs have to be 36" wide, and landings need to match that. So that passes. Cielings must be at least 80" and because this is actually a fucking stairwell, and ceiling minimums are measured from the nose of the first stair, they will more than pass.
So sadly, this is arguably a 1/2 bath. Honestly I've seen smaller.
However this still violates code. Stairway landings need to have clear space at least as long as the stair is wide. And building permanent structures on landings isn't allowed inside that space.
