Ugly House Photos

We’re trying to find something nice to say about this house.

They saved money by not paying for a building permit for the room addition?  The back door is eco-friendly?  They recycle?  The electric panel is accessible?

They save time & energy by not having landscaping?  They didn’t waste money on a concrete driveway?  It’s a big lot?

The refrigerator is included with the sale?  The house has gas service?  The gas line serves as a cup holder?

The cabinets look new?  There’s a window above the sink?  Nice.

Do not enter!  Security bars on both archways on both sides of the living room.  Plus a pet fence blocking the entrance.  Living rooms are only for special guests, not buyers.

Where’s the basketball hoop?  Front of house with Christmas lights, water jugs, empty planters, and security bars.

Inside the house.  Unless the furniture stays with the house, why does the couch take up half of the photo?

At least everything’s in its place, but still visually distracting.

Looks like the entrance to a maximum security prison.  This tells buyers several things:
1) It’s a bad neighborhood and/or
2) The seller is paranoid

Seems like these home sellers don’t take kindly to strangers.  They’ve got bars on the windows including the tiny bathroom window.  They have a mean dog waiting to pounce on buyers.  No landscaping out back.  Garden hose is messed up.  Clutter.  Patched up holes in the stucco.  If you were a real estate agent, would you take your clients to see this house?

At least it’s covered and at least the floor’s not dirt.  Other than that, this is one ugly patio.  Bet they have a some killer TGIF parties here.
