Ugly House Photos

Ten examples of bad real estate promotional photos.  Yes, these are actual photos.

Too dark.  Living room in El Mirage, Arizona.

Lazy photographer.  Phoenix.

Too much energy needed to take another photo?  Phoenix.

Two people in this photo.  Arizona City, Arizona.

It would have worked if she aimed directly in the middle.  Camden, New Jersey.

Poorly exposed or the result of acid rain?  Cadillac, Michigan.

The collapse of Europe & China?  El Mirage, Arizona.

Block watch?  This is the only photo for the house and they blocked the view!  Phoenix.

The photo’s caption reads, “Street view.”  Thanks.  It helps a lot.  Phoenix.

We like to show you before & after photos when homes are renovated.  But sometimes owners don’t know how to maintain a home.  Here’s an example.

After Front of House.  As it looked in 2012.  It sold as a short sale in May 2012 for $27,000.  The roof, the clutter, the Christmas lights, etc.  The door!

Before Front of House.  Here’s how it looked in 2005 when they paid $176,000 for it.

Another view Before.

After Back Yard in 2012.

Graffiti in the bedroom.  White & yellow stars on the ceiling.  Foil in the window.  Towel used as a curtain.

That chair is disgusting.  The carpet’s not much better.

Foiled again!  Dusty too.

We step back and now we’re in the dining room.

Another bedroom.  Yes, someone lives here.

As if they take showers anyway.  Check out the floor on the right side.  And the boarded up window.

The house is cable ready.

The furnishings are negotiable.

The kitchen is the neatest room of the house.

But you’ll be in a pickle here with no sink.  Maybe Winnie the Pooh can help.

Room addition at back of house.  Building permits were obtained?

Timely coincidence?  We posted some photos of Camden, New Jersey homes on Sunday, June 24, and now on Tuesday the 26th, the website TheDailyMail posts this article about the decay of Camden.  Read it here (lots of photos of homes).

Uh, you might want to wash your hair once in awhile.

Please let us help you with your cluttered kitchen.  It will only take 10 minutes.  But the ceiling will take a bit longer.

She has twins.  Driven to drink?

Is it safe to put plastic on a stove?
