It’s time for another installment of Real Actual Listing Photos<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

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

This month I got enough submissions from readers via email that our theme is reader-submitted photos. Thanks for the submissions, keep them coming<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Enough explanation. Let’s get to the photos! Click the photo to view the Real Actual Listing.<\/p>\n

\"2143<\/a>“Washer\/dryer, on-demand hot water, sub zero refer, Melie dishwasher and great neighbors & an awesome community!”<\/p>\n

Oddly, the listing agent forgot to mention the creepy hand that comes out of the closet in the laundry room and holds the door open. Also, I didn’t know Sub-Zero did drug paraphernalia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"8617<\/a>“Very open floor plan, and lots of windows bring the natural light in.”<\/p>\n

Yeah, everything about that photo just screams “natural” to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"7748<\/a>“Turn of the century style in this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home, arched doorways, hardwood flooring, wood fireplace…”<\/p>\n

The listing doesn’t mention it, but I really hope the glowing mystery toys are included in the price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"6906<\/a>“Sold with plans and permits to build new or buy as fixer as is…”<\/p>\n

It’s called staging<\/em>. Buyers like to be able to imagine themselves living in your home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"409<\/a>“Unique, BuiltGreen, Energy Star, Cust Cabs, Hydronic \u201cin Floor\u201d Heat, Thermobalance Valves, and Dedicated Heat Recovery, give this Enviro Safe home a top 4 Star rating.”<\/p>\n

Wait, am I buying a house or a box of files with some free caulk thrown in? Also, that description is sporting some serious buzzword overload<\/em>. Yikes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"22430<\/a>“Estate Properties are exceptional by definition and this remarkable estate is without peer.”<\/p>\n

Wait, I’m confused again. Am I buying a house or a baseball field? Oh, both? Well all right then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Let me know if you have an idea for the next “Real Actual Listing Photos” theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
