While the prices leave something to be desired, browsing the real estate market can be a fun pastime or a great way to get inspired when designing your own home. It’s also a natural method to keep track of prices in general. But some listings are so confusingly bad, they have to be seen to be believed. From horrendously mismatched tiles to toilets where they absolutely shouldn’t be, the market has its fair share of bad designs.
Fortunately for posterity, this Reddit group gathers atrocious real estate listings found by internet users. So get comfortable and enjoy this collection of home design disasters and upvote your favorites. And if you want to continue seeing the horrors that some people live in, check out our other articles here, here, and here.

Can't Really Blame Them. I Wouldn't Get Any Closer, Either
The actual business of real estate can be somewhat murky. Since most get a fee based on a percentage of the sale, they should, in theory, push for the best price. But as this is their main source of income, they may feel it is best to push for an earlier sale, rather than spend more time waiting for the best price for you. While this sounds conspiratorial, research shows that actual real estate brokers tend to hold their properties on the market longer than the average person.
And if that’s not bad enough, an analysis of listings found that properties that had a real estate broker had, on average, lower sales prices than those that were unbrokered. In other words, brokers may have been responsible for lower final sales prices, as they wanted to just collect a commission and go. Now, this is obviously bad for the seller, but in this housing market, anyone that actually manages to lower the cost of a home is a hero in my eyes.

I Don’t Think He Trusts The Realtor
On the other end of the spectrum, many would still prefer to use a broker. Firstly, they might help sell a property with some serious flaws, such as the plethora shown in this article. But they tend to be familiar with the legal procedures and pitfalls of selling and buying real estate, which is a great help to anyone who doesn't enjoy pouring over law books and contracts for hours. The process isn’t any more fun either. Generally, if you are selling, you probably have another place to stay, but your real estate agent has to bring random people around constantly in the hope that someone will decide to buy. Fortunately, there are some modern solutions, so you don’t have to wait around the house to let people in.

The more old-fashioned variant is the lock box, where a real estate agent can access the key when you aren’t around to show people around. Since the whole point of a realtor is convenience, this solution makes a lot of sense. Some Airbnbs do the same so guests can check in while the owner sleeps, or knox boxes that firefighters can use to get into a bringing building in cases where the owner isn’t on site. There are now digital variants where real estate uses verification apps to access a property.

Well, be glad this was taken in North Georgia. If it were taken in Eastern Alabama the dude would be facing the camera with the same pose!

peeing outside is fine. Peeing against the house near the door where the rain wont wash it away is gross. Its going to smell like a goodwill by that backdoor soon.

I remember when they had to photograph our house for selling when I was 8. We had to put most of our stuff in storage, be gone for hours and they staged my brother and I's bedroom to look like an office or something

One of 2 photos of the house we bought. The 2nd photo was just another angle of the basement. We got the house for a steal because literally no one else came to look at it 😅. https://imgur.com/a/vusnKoo

LOL. Are those handcuffs? Anyway, it looks like a decent-sized basement.

When we were looking at houses, one of them had a great many crosses on the walls of several rooms, with a huge one in the hallway. All I could think of was "what are they trying to ward off?!"

I love a lot of these pictures and I wonder what problems the author of this article has with these images? "I only buy a house that is in perfect condition!" No, I get myself my own property and change it to how I want to live there.
