Re: Detrimental Listing Photos This one wouldn't be so bad but it's a new listing. It's been some time since we've had that much snow.

Re: Detrimental Listing Photos Anyone else notice a lot of doctored listing photos? It doesn't bother me, I just find it interesting. The plants are in full bloom and everything has an artificially bright look. For example, these first three are all from the same listing. The trees are full of leaves.  The trees outside the kitchen window are nice and green in this pic. The kitchen also has a strange glow.  But they forgot in this pic. No leaves on the trees and the kitchen lost its shine.  Some of them have an almost cartoon-like look. Bright, sunny photos with the trees full of leaves Here's another.  Maybe this is a common thing I just haven't noticed until recently?

Yes, it is common, although when done properly, the results are not easily visible. Same thing as done to the cover shots on the magazines at the supermarket checkout. Although that last picture above looks like somebody cranked up the color to "eleven"  , check out the fluorescent-blue vehicle in the driveway! I have mixed feelings about the practice--the objective is to get the potential buyer out to physically check out the property and no more, much like the objective of the resume is to get you an interview, and no more. If the house looks perfect online, but like a dump when you see it in person, does this really help the seller in the long run? Certainly could irritate potential buyers!

Re: Detrimental Listing Photos I didn't notice it until now, but the kitchen photos have more than just color touch-ups. One shows a brown floor with a fridge by the stove, the other shows a white floor with no fridge.
