Owning a home is a dream for many—if not most!—of us. Renting is fine and dandy and can work for some people, sure, but there’s something truly solid about having a place to call your own. However, not every property is built the same… literally! Some houses and apartments are beyond bizarre; they're utterly unhinged and would make practically any decent architect and interior designer do a double-take.

Today, we’re looking at some of the weirdest and most confusing home listings that were found on Zillow by Jonathan Carson, a digital creator and the cohost of the Camp Counselors Podcast. Scroll down for a good laugh and a reminder that just because a property is on sale doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily worth the money!

Bored Panda has gotten in touch with Carson via email, and we’ll update the article once we hear back from him.

is there any insulation? when it rains, how loud is it inside? When it hails? Do they have a lot of thunderstorms in the area where this house is? I actually like the interior photos but it doesn't seem practical at all

I wonder the same thing about skylights, like doesn’t rain (and hail!) make it deafening? While I’ve had skylights before, they were angled so they weren’t pelted and besides, this was in the desert where we didn’t get a lotta weather.

    As per Statista, the average sales price of new homes in the United States was $512,200 in 2024, down slightly from a peak of $521,500 back in 2022. There are a few main factors behind the massive growth in property prices over the past few years: Increased demand during the pandemic and previously low mortgage rates spiked prices. However, now there’s an issue with rising mortgage rates and decreased affordability, leading to a market that’s slowing down.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to the Housing Affordability Index in 2023, the median-income US family could no longer afford a median-priced home. Statista notes that despite the recent cooling of the market, it may recover in the coming years. It’s likely that “affordability challenges may persist in the near future.”

    Depending on where you live, the tanks can be left in place as long as they are fully emptied and completely filled with sand/gravel. There was a station for sale when I was a real estate agent and that's what the municipal inspectors told the buyers.

    Never ever buy a gas station. The super fund at least within the US, can come in and say that a gas leak to occurred 40 years ago was your responsibility to clean up. You could be responsible for tens of millions of dollars in cleanup fees because you're the current owner of the land even though you weren't the owner when the leak occurred. I wouldn't even want the liability of owning the land next to the gas station.

    Statista reports that the real estate market in the United States is expected to reach a jaw-dropping $136.62 trillion (that’s ‘trillion’ with a ‘t,’ yes) by 2025, and a whopping $155.60 trillion by 2029. There’s been a particular surge in demand for suburban homes due to the shift toward remote work.

    With homes so expensive these days, it’s no wonder that many people and families decide to rent. However, if you live alone, you may be paying a massive premium for this luxury depending on the city.

    CNN states that the average single person living in New York City pays around $20,100 extra in rent per year. Meanwhile, couples living in one-bedroom apartments in NYC save an average of $40,200 on rent per year.

    It suuure does look as if they kinda hoard stuff and then shoehorn it everywhere it’ll fit. I love to sleep in smallish spaces; I feel comforted and protected. This bedroom, though, would make even me feel claustrophobic, what with all the dust catchers over my head that could potentially fall and bury me, and there’s, what? About six inches clearance in each side? While I’m very, VERY underweight, I’m still pretty sure that if I needed to escape in the dark that I’d be trapped and would die from terror!

    When you’re competing against so many other properties, you have to look for ways to stand out from the crowd. The go-to approach is to take high-quality photos with good lighting, from great angles, in order to make the home shine and pop in customers’ digital feeds.

    Meanwhile, the home itself can be a source of originality if it has unusual features or a particularly peculiar design. Though this can be a bit of a double-edged sword because homes that are too quirky might push some prospective clients away while simultaneously pulling others in.

    It's a design element. I've seen homes like this before, and there actually IS insulation. The interior beams and studs you see, are just 'window dressing' and don't actually provide any kind of structural component. Behind the unpainted OSB (particle board), there's the actual structural elements and insulation.

    Ok that's an interesting idea. Somehow insulation, electrical, and plumbing would have to be run, but someone else would have to figure that out. The look in the kitchen where the shelves are would be amazing duplicated around the house. Over time, your walls would be books and that is my dream.

    Either this isn't America or the walls are not as they seem. It's not even the unfinished look and lack of insulation. Building code for all stick frame residential single family homes in the US requires studs to be 16" on center for all exterior and interior load bearing walls. Most interior walls are also supposed to be 16" on center, but under a few limited conditions non load bearing interior walls can be 24" on center. Every wall visible is 24" on center. And the windows don't look deep enough to be hiding the actual correct framing and insulation behind the visible cladding.

    I actually like this one, it'll look a lot better once the roof is completely covered in grass. You can see where they've started trying to grow it, just needs a little more work. (Although it will look a lot more like the Tellytubby house afterwards!)

    The outside gives off a Legion Of Doom vibe.

    A while back, Bored Panda covered a fabulous Zillow listing where the photos had Bigfoot going about its daily life. It went massively viral online.

    “During our initial photoshoot, the Bigfoot idea popped into my mind. The sellers immediately supported the idea, and we all hoped that it would bring a bit of levity to people on their home buying adventure,” Daniel Oster, the listing agent, told us in a previous interview.

    What baffles me about so many of these is the money that goes into some elements, but then you get like the kitchen. The ceiling details and the lights above the table, super expensive. But the floor is like bargain basement clearance linoleum from the 70s, but it's in perfect shape so it's relatively new. The 2 doors are solid wood raised panel with flourish, again expensive, then super cheap builder grade carpet. And just the whole bathroom, thats the only thing that really shows age and that this may have been a badly done reno.

    The tub is called "Audrey" and is by Italian bespoke design company SICIS Art Mosaic Factory. It starts at $17000 but can go up to $41.000 with custom finishes (that this one has not). Their primary market is the Middle East but the USA is their second market by business share, so their sweet spot is where plenty of money meets lack of taste.

    It's called a 'barn house'. They're actually surprisingly comfortable. Given the designs, they're also shockingly easy to both heat, and cool. That one wooden stove you see is more than enough to heat the entire building, while a single window air conditioner in the right place, would be enough to cool it. These types of homes are becoming very popular now, as you can build one for as little as 9000 dollars US.

    According to the listing agent, high-end photography and targeted marketing approaches usually work.

    However, the right combination of the property, the timing, and the Bigfoot idea helped the listing go viral. “I don’t anticipate doing this approach again because it could be overused. But it’s been a great success so far, and I love getting to use a bit of humor to market the property.”

    May not have a choice in the matter. Looks to be a relatively old structure, which could mean it's on a historic places registry. If that's the case, you're forbidden from making major structural or internal changes to the building. It varies by regulation, but a person can face fines that could theoretically bankrupt them 10,000 dollars and up, if they change any part of the internal structure of the building without prior approval. Which if a building is on a historic registry, you can bet you'll get inspectors coming around at random times to check and make certain that you're not removing historic aspects of the building.

    Actually it more resembles an old post office. I kinda liked it until they showed the drop ceiling panels.

    They missed the chance to use that teller counter as the basis for their kitchen, and instead put a tiny crappy generic on in a back room. And yeah, they should have taken down that painting.

    All the wood (and the wild paint choices) are a bit much. And it seems overpriced.

    Screams "McMansion" with a hint of "hunting lodge on steroids."

    This is the least awful so far. Awful paint can be covered.

    You can photoshop any sky or ceiling you want in that room with that prepainted green screen.

    How is this spooky or even wacky? With the exception of the trampoline which is more Bonkers than anything, that living room and kitchen are so plain, dated and boring 🤷🏻‍♀️
