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.

This one has shower built in.
Full listing, at around USD$214,000:

A lot of Asian homes don’t have a dedicated shower stall, as building spaces tend to be very limited.
Wet rooms are pretty common in Korea, and probably a lot of dense cities. The whole bathroom is treated as the shower, and there’s a drain in the center of the room.
Not saying I like it, but it’s not like this is some landlord special.
One of my old coworkers had an issue with that when he was visiting the US. He was at his hotel room and he did not put the shower curtain on the inside of the tub and basically did not even use it and went about showering all willy nilly. He finished up and there was a bunch of water on the floor and he kind of just assumed the drain was slow. The other person staying in the room from the US went into the bathroom and wondered why the fuck the shower curtain was on the outside of the tub. My coworker was from India and just thought the curtain was there to cover you if someone wanted to take a leak.
Cultural differences. Like the Korean ones, Indian bathrooms are generally designed to drain water from the whole floor, but instead of the center, the floor usually slopes down slightly to drain in a corner.
In the ones that do have a wet area - like in higher end hotels, there's usually a glass door as a separator.
I actually do like that feature. Thinking of doing it at my house. Would make cleaning so much easier. Get the removable shower head, spray everything down and just squeegie it to the drain.
So you put one portal down the toilet, one portal on the bottom of the bucket, and boom. Infinite shower.

That's about as depressing a place as I've ever seen that has indoor plumbing.
That is… lovely.
“European style wet room”
I thought it was an appartement in Paris. I had friends who had a kitchen bathroomin this style, there.
Ahh, I also dream about pooping and taking a shower at the same time ☠️
264sqft?? You're paying almost $1000 per square foot...
In the city centre, the average price per square foot for apartments in Hong Kong is US$2,850
Outside of city centre, the average is US$1,876.
Ooofff that hurts 😵💫
Suddenly rent raises in the Midwest don't look that bad anymore.
Ooh, Hong Kong.
But also that's worse than NYC(?)
Depends where in New York. Condos in Manhattan are over $2000 a sq. ft. Brooklyn is less than $700 a sq. ft.
New Toronto Condos go for over $1000 a sq ft USD. Cities are expensive.
