Stupid Pictures I found While Searching For a House

We've begun the process of looking for a home to purchase here in Temecula.  We've been scoping out prices and neighborhoods by utilizing online resources.  It has shocked me to no end at the quality of pictures that Realtors are paid to post in advertising a property.  We've seen houses where there were six pictures; one of the front, 4 of the kitchen from different angles, and one of a toilet.  Which just leads us to believe that when compared to the bedrooms, the toilet is the nicest thing they could show. 

It amazes us at the number of pictures of standard utility rooms.  Not fancy shmancy utility rooms with cabinets, counters, mud sinks, room for extra storage and your own Asian dry cleaner.  Just your plan old regular run of the mill laundry rooms.  Also, bathrooms get big play in the house photos.  So, we've gone thru and picked some of the oddest pictures we've found, just for your viewing pleasure.  Please enjoy.

 The breathtaking views of the mountains are so amazing that you'll forget to perform basic maintenance on your pool.

In Case you were wondering, the house comes equipped with a toilet.

"Imagine yourself living here...without all the crap in the yard"

You know what will really sell this house? An oddly framed picture of the bedroom where the killing took place....

Repeat After Me.  "Cell phone cameras are not real cameras"

"You know, selling this house is crucial to our long-term financial well being, so we have to do this right.  Want me to put the chairs down?" He asked.  "No, it'll be fine" replied the Realtor.

Trust me, it's just better if you keep it dark.

This tells me absolutely nothing about the house

somebody learned how to edit pictures with Microsoft Picture Viewer

"Honey, come quick! Your not going to believe this, but it has a FRONT DOOR!!"

"If you are 2 or 3 years old, this is what it will look like when you enter your new house"

What?  Why?

Lot's of stretch out room for your ladder and trash cans

"the house is perfect, love the location, love the size, plenty of backyard for the kids to play in, the price is right, good neighborhood, great schools...but if there were only a picture of the backyard gate...oh! there is!"

"The house comes complete with a large patch of concrete somewhere on the property"

Because knowing your washer and dryer will be well taken care of is important

It's taken with a cell phone, it's a picture of the laundry room.  You do this for a living?

"Over sized towel bars in the guest bath allows room for two towels"

"If you pass out drunk in the foyer, you'll love the craftsmanship of this beautifully upgraded fixture"

You know the house is crappy when this is the only picture they will show, pt 1

You know the house is crappy when this is the only picture they will show, pt. 2

"Oh My! I've always dreamed of a toilet with a wooden seat!"

"The storage shed  gives the backyard a 'retro' feel and also serves as a gateway to hell"

Because the 1 thing I look for when purchasing a home is room for a shower caddy

If you have an astigmatism, this is what your kitchen will look like

"Great house, great location, great schools, plenty of room for the kids to pla....wait! is that a Kholer toilet?  I'm an American Standard man!  No way I'm buying this piece of crap"

Amazing how you can be looking at a picture of the bathroom and still know nothing about the bathroom....

"deter would be burglars with the 'abandoned property' landscaping"

"Nice house, great location, near shopping with easy access to freeways, tons of upgrades including a washer connection box"

seriously, what is the deal with laundry rooms?

Standard tiny bath tub included

Which is most shocking?  The fact that a professional home seller thought this picture was OK, or the fact that they let a baby play in the room?

"wow honey! it has a gate! next to another structure of some sort"
