Reminder:<\/strong> For a regular serving of wacky listing photos throughout the month, from all across the country, check out Looney Listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

There is no particular single theme this month, although I did group this month’s photos into similarly-themed pairs.<\/p>\n

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

\"8005<\/a>“nestled & surrounded by nature, this urban retreat has many amenities…”<\/p>\n

…but we’re not going to show you any of them. Just this one grainy photo of the moon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"4113<\/a>“Home is currently uninhabitable.”<\/p>\n

And creepy. Did we mention creepy? Because it’s definitely also creepy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"2108<\/a>“It is move in ready but will need some TLC to make it shine.”<\/p>\n

Buyer must supply their own Hazmat crew.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"3218<\/a>“…not a complete fixer but could use new paint and repair work to some areas of the home.”<\/p>\n

Nothing gets me excited about a listing like the phrase “not a complete fixer.” Except for maybe piles and piles of random junk strewn throughout the house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"2301<\/a>“250 sf rooftop VIEW deck! Only OVER THE WATER UNITS on Lake Union!”<\/p>\n

Also… BALD EAGLE! And unlike the home in September’s installment<\/a>, this eagle appears to be legit, not Photoshop (though the view at right is cropped from the original).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"2640<\/a>“The extraordinarily private & peaceful setting…”<\/p>\n

When I think “private and peaceful,” the first<\/em> thing I think of is military planes in formation buzzing my home every year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Let me know<\/a> if you have an idea for a future “Real Actual Listing Photos” theme, and be sure to check out Looney Listing<\/a> for listing photo amusement throughout the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
