Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

Do you happen to have the original ad? I am kinda interested in how this is set up and where.
This is what we call a shoebox house in Montreal. There are quite a few in my neighbourhood. See more in this article. Mind you, these are pictures of the pretty ones, they are not all as cute, but not many are as far recessed from the street either.
That website is absolute garbage. I have to turn on adblockers.
The earliest source I can find is a Tumblr post from Dec 2015, but I could not locate the address. You may be able to get in touch with that account, though it's a long shot given the age of the post.
Nice detective skills!
Sorry, most of these are ancient. You could try reverse image search but I don’t suspect you won’t find much more info.
No joy but I did find this remarkably similarly sited building. It may be quite common. Apparently part of a class of buildings the Chinese call nail houses.
I am used to seeing this sort of thing a a back yard in old cities, but not the front like this. If I was living in city this would be what I would want to rock.
Ah too bad. I kinda want to find more like it. You could put up a facade on the street and have like a secret home. Might be a good option in some decaying citys.
Someone posted one above: https://lemmy.world/comment/2377576 In this thread @Emperor found some similar ones too.
