Real Actual Listing Photos: HYPER… Photocopies?

Posted on February 20, 2012February 20, 2012 by The Tim

It’s time for another installment of Real Actual Listing Photos. Once a month (or so) I round up some of the most bizarre listing photos from around the Seattle area and post them here, with brief excerpts from the real actual listing description, and probably a bit of snarky commentary.

The idea for this series stems from the ongoing forum thread Detrimental Listing Photos, which is where you should post your nominations for next month’s Real Actual Listing Photos post.

No particular theme this week, just a bunch of great listing photos sent in by readers and spotted by yours truly.

Enough explanation. Let’s get to the photos! Click the photo to view the Real Actual Listing.

7322 11th Ave NW Seattle, WA 98117“Consider this new construction in 2012.”

Year built: 1914. Maybe if we blind them with HYPERCLOUDS, they won’t notice that the home is actually 100 years old, not brand new.

19327 Grannis Rd Bothell, WA 98012“WOW!”

Okay, so the list agent’s camera was apparently broken, and the only photo they could find was from an old newspaper article about some kind of creepy murderer, maybe? And rather than uploading a digital scan of said newspaper photo, I guess they just sent a photocopy by mail to the MLS?

18045 Meridian Ave N Shoreline, WA 98133“Public park across the street…”

It may be hard to tell from the small photo, but I’m fairly certain that this lawn (dead leaves and all) has literally been spray-painted green. Yes, really.

22806 58th Ave W Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043“Excellent rental potential.”

On the other hand, spray-painting your back yard is better than… this. I guess.

8325 Boe Rd Stanwood, WA 98292“Potential private club, fishing, sport facility or equistrian center.”

I may have cropped this one for dramatic effect.

16180 Klondike Canyon Rd Carmel Valley, CA 93924“Great for vineyards, horses or a family retreat.”

And cowgirls with cats, apparently. This one’s not in Seattle, but when I was flipping through listings and saw this primary photo I had to include it.

Let me know if you have an idea for a future “Real Actual Listing Photos” theme.
