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!

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.”

I think it is also supposed to protect someone from rolling out of bed and into the stairwell.

Pretty sure this was Old Murphy's original bed, and how his famous law came to be.

Good idea, terrible execution. I'm guessing this is a rental and they were not able to make real alterations, but could see this work with a bit of additional engineering

I think if you look, this is an attic that's been converted to a suite. The stairs look covered over. Why you wouldn't remove the bannister I have no idea

Because if you removed the banister and put the bed at floor level, you wouldn’t be able to get up the stairs

"Looks like you work up on the wrong side of the bed." "You have no idea."

Was it not any other option to put the bed!? This look very dangerous. I sleep walk and would fall down the stairs and be lucky to be alive. What a bad idea, has to be somewhere else that’s more safe?!

Does it come down off there? Or is it permanently there ?

Every time I put something on that shelf, it would fall downstairs, for sure!

When you want to make an over-the-garage apartment, but don't have the room.

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.

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.
