Looking for a place you could call home? Then you came to the right place. Well, at least for some laughs. Welcome to a world where real estate photos go a bit crazy.

When you're on a search for your next cozy dwelling, those property pics play a crucial role. They're your first look at what could be your future residence. But here's the catch: not all real estate agents are photography pros. Honestly, some seem to have missed the memo entirely. Thanks to the X page “Bad Realty Photos”, we’ve gathered the most mind-boggling and cringe-worthy examples of real listings found on the internet. From decor choices that make you question reality to some real creepy stuff, the page celebrates “low standards and a lack of attention to detail”.

Keep scrolling to see some of the weirdest real estate photos ever. And feel free to let us know which ones you find the quirkiest by leaving a comment or giving them an upvote!

Considering how crosses/religious images play a prominent role in so many horror films, just treat their reaction to your Halloween party as an extension of your theme. Tell everyone it's the Exorcism annex.

How cramped was the party? It may be because I'm American and this looks small to me, but isn't this small for a backyard?

That many crosses looks scary to me, rather than Halloween decorations

Lol. Did they think it was some sort of ritual? I feel like the neighbour is either very chill and cool or very religious.

Not true. They just love the holy family and decorate the yard, like some decorate their house or yard with their favorite movie, comic and other characters. Nothing to see here. Just another fanatic fan.

In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Andy Donaldson, the creator of “Bad Realty Photos”, shared that the concept for making the blog, along with starting an Instagram account and a Facebook page, emerged when he was searching for apartments online in London in 2013. “Before long, I was spending more time saving hilariously bad photographs to my desktop than booking viewings, which left me with a dilemma: What to do with the photos?” Once he shared a few peculiar finds along with some witty captions, the response was overwhelmingly positive, and that's how the now well-known page came into existence.

We reached out to Andy again to learn more about his Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos project and what he enjoys the most about curating and maintaining the page. The creator shared that “the sheer variety of the horror, and the unending stream of terrible decisions” is what keeps him posting. “This is the reason I never have any trouble staying motivated. I am pathologically driven by other people’s low standards,” he added.

We asked Andy what he thinks makes a real estate photo truly "bad" or unusual in his eyes. He replied that these pictures are made to help people buy and rent homes and apartments, “so any photo that makes us ask ‘what?’ or ‘why?’ or ‘how did that horse get there?’ has failed. Those questions are what makes a photo stand out to me, and they’re everywhere.”

With photoshop's new AI, even these people will be able to do a decent job of it. If they actually take 5 minutes to read the how to.

Looking at the listings, we were curious to know if Andy ever received feedback or comments from real estate professionals regarding his posts. “The blog is very popular with real estate professionals all over the world, and we still receive submissions daily, even after 10 years. Obviously, none of the real estate professionals who follow us have ever been personally responsible for any bad photos themselves, according to my lawyers,” he told us.

Ever since Andy began "Bad Realty Photos," he's seen that real estate photos are getting better and more professional. Luckily, for all the fans of awful real estate photos: the source of terrible images isn't running out anytime soon. “There will always be new content to share, things will never improve, and it will never, ever end,” Andy shared.

I am as disturbed by the plastic wrap on the table as I am by the clown. Or is that one of those Godawful plastic table covers?

I have now seen several pix of these types of scenarios over the last several years and I am always curious about the reasoning behind kitchen bathing. Perhaps I am missing something obvious.

As an adult, Dylan still doesn't really understand when his memory problems really started. He thought the trampoline in the basement was a fever dream.

That’s what my MIL would do to decorate her room. (Actually, she did once. She hanged a bed sheet with flower on her wall, because she saw somewhere flower themed wallpaper and decided that bed sheet will do as fine)

I may be silly for this opinion but: this looks like a hoarder's house. Hoarding is a mental illness and I don't think that's something to laugh at.

I do that. I use it to put my laundry basket on the seat, so I don't have to bend down to pick the clothes out to hang up....dodgy knees.
