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

Be sure to stop by Looney Listing<\/a> for a steady dose of goofy listings all month long. 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

\"4540<\/a>“Fantastic location close to freeways”<\/p>\n

Another fine example of “let’s take a picture of a picture.” Found by Lori M.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"9246<\/a>“Bus stop in front of adjacent property.”<\/p>\n

I guess that’s one way to avoid breaking the NWMLS rule of no brokerage branding in your listing photos. Not a very classy<\/em> way, but it is effective, I suppose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"6500<\/a>“Seller is very motivated.”<\/p>\n

But not motivated enough to, you know, stop by the property during the day and take some non-terrifying photos. Found by mukoh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"1806<\/a>“ATTENTION Builders and Investors! Approved by City of Bothell Building permits are ready to pick up for …Triplex Luxury Modern Style Town Homes.”<\/p>\n

Because it will definitely be a great<\/em> investment to build “luxury” homes directly over the freeway.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"11369<\/a>“rambler situated on a beautiful lot”<\/p>\n

That is the most amazing and totally real<\/em> fire I have ever seen (cropped for full effect). Found by David B.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"5409<\/a>“This is a fixer right next to a large industrial\/office building.”<\/p>\n

Yikes. It looks like someone actually lives here. Technically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"16651<\/a>“full bathroom in the hall”<\/p>\n

This ultra-blurry bathroom photo is one of just five pictures of this home. Talk about phoning it in. Found by Beth T.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"8311<\/a>“Rehab or tear down.”<\/p>\n

Wait a minute. I could swear there was a house for sale here. This is where the map says it should be, anyway.<\/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":"
