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.

The rate of increase is mind blowing. I used to rent a 1br luxury apartment for $1100 back in 2016.
Good thing wages are also inflating to keep up with these ridiculous price increases. Oh, wait...
We rented a sizable 2-bedroom apartment in a good area of North Hollywood, CA's arts district for $1200 a month 10 years ago. I don't even want to know how much it's going for now.
They probably renovated to split it into 2 tiny apartments that they rent for double or triple the price each.
About 15 years ago, we had 1200 sq ft apartment with a nice deck that overlooked some woods and ponds at the bottom of the hill. It was $800 a month and we afforded it just fine. Now, I make almost double what I made then, and we live in a 900 sq ft apartment that stares down into a parking lot, has creaky floors, barely functioning appliances, and we pay $2000. The old apartment was $5.2k a month last time I checked (early 2022).
Where was this?
My cousin has a rent-controlled studio apartment in LA that he pays something like $900 a month for. I didn't even know rent control was a thing anywhere in LA but apparently it is and his rent can only go up 2% or so a year. The only negative is that he's basically stuck in this little place for the rest of his life.
Man my fucking mortgage is only a couple hundred higher
