The Kid Stays In The Picture


Yet another MLS photo including a child.

Fireplace Shrine



What does one do with a nonworking fireplace? Turn it into a shrine for high school trophies of course!

Easy Snacking!


Snacking while watching TV is easy in this house. Everyone should have a fridge and large table next to a big screen TV.

Guy On The Deck?



Wait a minute, what's that guy doing on the deck? Barbecuing? Moving lawn furniture? Maybe the real estate agency photographer should ask him to step aside before snapping this rear shot of the house. Just a thought.

Why Bother? Really.

I comb the Garden State MLS site daily. Many houses I like, I think to myself, "Why isn't there a photo of the kitchen?" Obviously the kitchen must be dated or possibly a shambles. What's worse, misleading house hunters with an awkward shot of just the brand new stove, no photos of the kitchen or a photo like this one?




Mirror In The Bathroom

Why, oh why do I so love when people take photos and you see their reflection?

Holy steps!!! No need for that gym membership with these homes. 











































































































































Someone Call Hoarders, Not House Hunters!


This photo nicely depicts that there's plenty of storage space in the attic of this house for sale in New Jersey.

Let's Wallpaper the Kitchen Cabinets




Someone help me here. What the heck is going on with that one section of cabinetry? Did the homeowner actually stick some wallpaper over it? Big WTF to this New Jersey home!

Honey, Look! A Garage!



You can tell when a foreclosure agent doesn't have access to the inside of the house when they desperately snap photos of random bushes, I mean garages from the 1800s. Enjoy tearing that shit down.

Jokes Aside, I Love The '70s!



I'm not kidding this time. I really do dig this snazzy kitchen. I've always wanted an in-wall oven like The Bradys had! Too cool!

PS This may even be '60s? I can't really tell.

Workout Room? More Like House of Horrors!



Move on in and get in shape right. This warm, inviting basement doubles as a workout space. No thanks! If a family with kids moves into this New Jersey house, you can bet your ass they won't be heading downstairs until they're old enough to drive!

My Couch is Older Than Your Grandma!




This classic couch seen in the above Long Island house, looks like it has been with the house since the original owner purchased it. Maybe it was even a hand-me-down back then. Nice!

John Cougar Mellencamp Would Be Proud




Nice pink house.
This one is in New Jersey.

Don't Bother To Straighten Up

Most agents prefer to stage a home when trying to unload it. This winner didn't even bother to ask the homeowner to tidy up before snapping these lovely photos.

Festive Fireplace




Whoever snapped this photo of a house for sale in Vernon, New Jersey, doesn't know the tricks. What's with the lady sitting at the kitchen table and where did they come up with the brilliant idea to hang a poster over drywall or whatever that crap is called?

Proud To Be An American





The owners of this 1936 year-round lake house in Sussex County aren't ashamed of showing their American pride with red, white and blue decor inside and out!

Short Folks Need Only Apply




This Sparta, NJ house was clearly built for the Little People, Big World family other folks may hit their head trying to whip up their breakfast in this kitchen.

Smallest House in Sussex County




For $90K and yearly taxes of $3,173, you can have what appears to be the tiniest home in Sussex County, NJ. PS House is sold in "as is" condition. What a shocker!

Ugliest Cabinets Ever!




Hello? Who picked out these horrible kitchen cabinets?

Hey Look, I'm on TV!




Dig the reflection of this person unloading their 42' inch TV on Craiglist. Nice!

Barbie Dream House




Most homes are adorned with the latest and greatest Dora The Explorer and Bob the Builder toys, but this one is a real keeper! Is that really a Barbie head? That rocks!

Boarded Up House For Sale




You'd think this boarded up house without any interior photos would have an asking price lower than $225K. No?

1979 in Phillipsburg, NJ




This floor brings me right back to childhood. I believe our basement had the same tile, my grammar school classrooms had that tile and I'm sure friends I went to grammar school with, had that same floor. I love it. I can still remember that smell and the icy cold feel on my toes even in summer time.

Plenty of Pepsi & a Teeny TV

"Wow, that's a lot of Pepsi! And my, what a tiny TV you have. Hello kitty!" Those are several thoughts that come to mind after seeing this home's sun room on the GSMLS site. People in New Jersey really love their soda.

Wine Bottle Wallpaper

This house has so much going on. Check out the enticing wine bottle wallpaper in the kitchen alongside seashell wallpaper and fake exposed brick. Sweet!

Cartoon Watching Kid Not Included

This North Jersey living room features a child's head watching cartoons.

Beautiful Bayonne

You're sure to hurry up and rent this beauty in Bayonne, New Jersey. Craig's List allows up to four photos to advertise your property. The landlord chose to post one single shot and couldn't even get it right.

Why hellooooo there

This house is for rent in Rockaway, New Jersey as soon as the landlord finishes renovating the kitchen that is.

Hey Good Lookin', Whatcha Got Cookin'?

I'm sure someone will argue, but is there a cake baking in the oven? Yes, it shows potential buyers that the stove does indeed work! Take note a nice small living room lamp fits perfectly on the counter.

Why Bother?

Why bother even snapping this photo? That's basically the first thought that comes to mind when stumbling upon this tasty shot. It seems to capture a crap-load of ghosts (orbs) and some wire accenting hot pink walls.

Kids Love Crosses & Cars

Here's an interesting theme, Cars and lots and lots of crosses. I won't comment on the choice of paint and the super cool sponge effect selected.

More Pineapple Soda

As you may have noticed, pineapple soda seems to be a popular choice in Morris County, New Jersey. Here's another seller who enjoys a delicious pineapple soda. Obviously they prefer ShopRite to FoodTown brand.

Weird Animal Optional

This ranch home in Montalba, Texas could possibly include this odd animal. Is it a donkey? Is it a pony? Is it a deformed dog or small calf?



Free Fur Baby With Purchase

Look at this adorable sleepyhead. Does he/she come with the purchase of this shabby chic home in Denville, NJ?


Wash Those Dishes & Take Out That Trash!

This lovely home in Parsippany, New Jersey comes complete with bottle of pineapple soda from Foodtown, cans of cheap beer and a man in his slippers washing dishes. Oh, and who could resist an oven covered in tinfoil?


Lincoln Park House - The Kid Stays In The Picture

This fashionable fixer-upper in Lincoln Park includes a baby and possibly a mother? Get these people out of the shot!
