Warning 2008-08-04 13:38:26 It’s never a good sign when you visit a home and there is a notice that says “WARNING.” This home went into foreclosure. Who knows what dangers lurk here.

Eliphante In Cornville, Arizona 2008-08-04 13:24:50 This is a, uh, house, I guess in Cornville, Arizona
. It’s been named Eliphante.
Cornville, Arizona is an unincorporated community in the Verde Valley in north central Arizona. Cornville might not mean anything to you at this time, but it very well could become as well known as Crawfordsville, Texas, or that Kenny-bunk-port town in Maine [...]
Techno-Geek Unabomber Home? 2008-08-03 11:50:43 The location of this house is unknown. Could be a basement with moths flying around a la Silence of the Lambs. Why would a photo of this cluttered room be used to promote the sale of the house? The two gas masks (upper middle) are disturbing. Backscatter refers to spam e-mail that usually includes viruses, etc. [...] Read more:Geek

Say Cheese 2008-08-03 11:42:19 This looks like a dentist’s office, but it’s actually a bathroom of home somewhere in Connecticut. I guess the photos of teeth are motivational for the seller to floss and brush every day? Read more:Cheese

Ugly Tile & Cluttered Home 2008-08-20 02:09:01 Ugly tile. Green cabinets. Clutter everywhere. Jell-O molds on the walls. Too many things going on at once. Sure to give buyers a headache.
Another view.
Yet another viewpoint. Couches with flower blankets on top.
The dining room with wood paneling.
The front yard.
Going Ape 2008-08-20 02:08:45 Buyers are sure to go bananas for this Phoenix home what with that giant ape stuffed animal to greet them. Pillows are not allowed in this bedroom, but a bicycle is. Read more:Going
Rustic Beams & a Rifle 2008-08-20 02:08:26 The caption for this photo states “rustic beams.” Buyers will probably remember the rifle more than the woodwork. Better to remove the rifle, the oil lamps, and the lasso. Read more:Rifle
Pink House With Dead Trees 2008-08-20 02:08:07 Attractive home? Pink paint? Dead trees? Bricks lying around in piles?

Totally Disgusting House of the Month 2008-08-19 17:14:55 Gross, nasty, yucky, dirty, and filthy. You’ll have to take a shower after seeing these photos. This Phoenix home sold in 2006 and someone paid $135,000 for it! This is the living room, believe it or not. With a dirty fish tank (stinky?), a soiled pad on the ugly chair (yuk!!), and clutter, clutter, clutter. [...] Read more:House

Love Child 2008-08-19 17:06:48 When I saw this photo, I actually screamed. What in the world would possess someone to possess something like that?! That is a very creepy looking doll. “LOVE”!! It’s reaching out to give you a big hug. It gives me the willies. Why wasn’t it removed for the photo? To distract us from the purple [...]
Ugly Tile 2006 & 2008 2008-08-19 17:02:02 In a recent post, I showed off this gorgeous tile pattern from a Phoenix home that sold in 2008.
Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across these photos of a house that sold in 2006. Recognize the tile pattern? What are the odds that it’s not the same house? Oh, and this photo elevates to Ugly [...]
How Not To Stage a Living Room 2008-09-10 12:41:53 When selling a home, each room should look like its function. A living room should look like a living room. A bedroom a bedroom. An office an office. This living room should be cleared out and staged with living room furniture. At least all of the books keep your eyes away from the bright red carpet. Read more:Living

Marvelous Mesa Kitchen 2008-09-09 13:14:45 Great vinyl flooring. Beautiful cabinets. Modern refrigerator. What’s not to love about this Mesa, Arizona kitchen? Read more:Kitchen
A Million Pillows 2008-09-09 13:12:39 It must take 10 minutes to clear off this bed each night. How many pillows does someone need? Half of the bed is covered by pillows! You know, you can buy bedskirts for less than $10 on eBay? There is a glass of wine on the dresser next to a can of bug spray or [...] Read more:Pillows
Dangerous To Enter 2008-09-09 13:08:09 When selling a house, you want buyers to easily see your home. The MLS write-up should be inviting. There should be many photos, and they should excite the buyer. The house should be on lockbox so that Realtors can show the home. The condition of the home should be move-in ready.
Consider, now, how motivated buyers [...]

Cheap Block Fence 2008-09-09 12:55:52 The block fence out front is not cemented at all. It’s just stacked blocks.
Here’s a close up view.
The tall date palm out front is worth a lot of money to developers, seriously. Landscape companies/nurseries actually knock on doors of houses like this and offer cash to buy and remove date palms for shopping centers and [...] Read more:Cheap
