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

Do not forget, you can check out Looney Listing<\/a> all month long<\/em> for a steady stream of bizarre and amazing listing photos from across the country. If you’ve got a nomination for a listing photo that should appear here, drop me a line<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No particular theme this month. Just enjoy a collection of odd listing photos found by readers and yours truly.<\/p>\n

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

\"423<\/a>“a completely empty shell for whatever you can think of!”<\/p>\n

Also, here is a photograph of the listing agent’s hand! Found by Spencer W.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"411<\/a>“Current home is dry but needs some work.”<\/p>\n

Gotta love that they couldn’t even be bothered to paint over the swastika flag graffiti<\/em> before listing this home. Found by JP.<\/p>\n

[Update: A few hours after this post went live, the swastika photo was removed from the listing on the MLS. It can however still be found on less up-to-date sites like Zillow<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"8316<\/a>“Charming 3 bd. bungalow”<\/p>\n

You’re looking at the primary<\/em> photo for this listing. I’d like to know how they fit 3 bedrooms in there. Found by John R.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"4801<\/a>“Hillman City fixer with tons of potential located on a fully fenced corner lot.”<\/p>\n

Well it was fenced whenever the Google Street View car drove by, anyway. Found by KDM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"9502<\/a>“New tiled floors with bamboo in living room and all upstairs.”<\/p>\n

Don’t believe that this house really has tiled floors? FOOL! Behold and be shamed!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"1619<\/a>“Pete Granger Homes proudly presents this Modern View home”<\/p>\n

Um, Pete… I don’t know how to break it to you, but… that is not a home. That is Seattle University.<\/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":"
