Parking on the front yard is a code violation in some cities. It’s a sell-your-house violation too.

Two trucks on the front yard at this house. And a lazy photographer.

Maybe they’ll mow around the car at this Springfield, Missouri home?

Some rubber tires are allergic to asphalt, concrete, or paved surfaces.


Parking on the back patio. That’s a new one.

Maybe it’s the recession that’s affected the psyche of some home sellers. A feeling of “we don’t care.” In a down real estate market, you have to push aside depression and put on a happy face. Buyers will react to the vibe given by sellers.
Let’s look at three ugly, depressing back yards. Will they impress buyers?

This is the main photo for another home. The first photo buyers see! [I give up]

Sanford & Sons?

Different stages of a home’s life from 2006, 2008, & 2009.
Parking on the front yard in 2008 when trying to sell the house. Unsuccessfully. Wonder why.

Here’s how the front yard looked like in 2006 when it successfully sold.

The house went into foreclosure in 2009 and was vandalized.

Here’s how it looked in 2006.

More graffiti from 2009.

Some people have no respect.

You’d comb your hair before getting your school photo taken, so why not move the cars & trailer off the front lawn for the real estate photo?

Two fans of Grace Jones’ song “Pull Up To the Bumper.” In the first photo, a flat tire is preventing the car from moving. If the seller can’t fix a flat, what repairs are they neglecting at their house?

Near identical photo. At least this car has inflated tires, but now there’s no excuse why it’s in the photo. To help disguise the ugly tree?

It was physically impossible to move 20 feet to the right and take a better photo of the house. It just was. And don’t even ask to have the cars moved first.

When you’re a celebrity, you can park wherever you like. This is called rock star parking.

Besides, it’s too hot to walk an extra 20 feet.
