Welcome to our Hickory, North Carolina home.  Please wipe your feet.  Thank you.

They increased the square footage of their home with this room addition.  It’s sure to add lots of value to the home.

Blood at the bottom of the stairs?

Lions and tigers wallpaper in a Hickory, North Carolina home.

Vintage bathroom.

Looks brand new.

Laundry room.  We’re taking bets how many detergent and bleach bottles can stay on that board before it breaks.

The kitchen has great views of the yard.

Private property.  No trespassing.  Welcome not to our home.

We updated the kitchen.

Great view of the back yard from the kitchen sink.

Plenty of storage space for food.

The water running down the vent and hall ceiling helps keep the house cool in the summer.

Fresh paint in the bathroom.

Oh, yes, it’s clean.

Spacious rooms.

The bedroom can easily accommodate a large dresser.

We’ve really enjoyed using this house.

We have a private covered patio.

Just like the fence, we’re hoping you’re leaning toward buying our home.

Our post in January about crooked items in real estate photos really energized those with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.  So we have three more photos to drive you batty.

Who wouldn’t want to correct this checkerboard tile mess??!!!  How did they not see the mistake?!!  [Phoenix]

Couldn’t they just even up the curtain ties??!!  Make them the same!  Would only take 3 seconds to fix.  [Chandler, Arizona]

That curtain rod is crooked.  Ugh.  And the paint is sloppy.  [Trenton, New Jersey]

Lost of potential with this Trenton, New Jersey home.

Efficiency kitchen.  No steps needed!  Just turn and pivot.  But where does the refrigerator go?

Got flooring issues?  Cover it with a rug!

Keep your expensive flooring clean by using a rug to wipe your feet.

The floor was too slippery when exiting the shower, so they made it a non-slip surface.  Problem solved!

They were getting ready to install a swimming pool.  Now the new buyer gets to pick out the decorative tile.

Neglected home.

Owned by the same family since 1993.  But they refinanced for $180,000 in 2005.  Perhaps to remodel the home?

The house went into foreclosure.  The bank sold it recently in this condition for $50,500.

We’re not seeing any renovations so far.

None of the $180,000 was spent in the kitchen.

Or in the bathroom.

The bank disclosed to buyers that repairs are needed to the room addition.  Building permits probably needed too.

The bank also said the house has termites and roof problems.

The investor buyer could spend $50,000 and really fix up the place.  Too bad the previous owners didn’t.

Here’s a true fixer-upper for those who enjoy a challenge.

It was painted like that on purpose?

Ugly paint or mold?

Shoes and socks.

Hopefully the hardwood floors can be saved and refinished.

The kitchen could be saved too perhaps?

The house has a creepy basement/cellar.

Poor curb appeal.

Best just to take down the rusty evaporative cooler.

Let’s hope a buyer renovates this older home so we can show you the After photos.

Neglected, abused, ignored.  Such is the fate of this poor dilapidated Trenton, New Jersey home.

Gourmet kitchen with pretty shelf paper used as wallpaper.

The front door and living room.  What a shame the house went to ruin.

Trashed!

HazMat suit needed to touch that filthy mattress.

What happened??!

Another view of this room.

The bathroom is the best room of the house.
