Bored Panda reached out to Andy, the creator behind the internet’s beloved “Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos” project, to find out whether the pandemic has had an effect on terrible property pics.

It turns out, the viral pandemic has probably improved the quality of some real estate photography, said Andy, “as there are fewer properties for sale, and therefore more time to get this stuff right.”

Luckily, all the fans of terrible real estate photos can be sure the terrible source is not likely to deplete any time soon. “The universal human instinct for ineptitude has prevailed, so we still regularly receive more than enough terrible examples to share.”

The level of professionalism is definitely improving, and Andy is suspecting his blog may be to blame. “There are fewer accidental mirror selfies and photographer thumbshots.” However, the progress is slow and the creator believes there’s much work to be done in that department.

It seems that terrible property pics are now getting well-earned recognition after Andy exhibited some of the worst examples from “Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos” at the Hamburg Triennial of Photography last year. “We're pleased to have our work finally recognized as the great art it is, and we now have around 300,000 followers in total across all platforms.”

The website itself received its 15,000,000th visitor a few weeks ago. Andy said he’s happy to confirm that “COVID-19 appears only to have increased people's appetite for low-quality photography and sarcastic sentiment.”
