Make Your Listing Unattractive, the Easy Way

With unsexy house porn a well explored subject, we find it surprising (and yes, amusing) that this listing’s photos seem so determined not to sell the house. 21611 Shadyspring Road is 3 beds, 2 baths, over 1,300 square feet of shambolic entropy that would make our teenage stoner cousin blush. Such smashing disregard for order! We’d totally forgive the photographer if this Castro Valley short sale were asking $75K. But this is, according to the write-up, a desirable neighborhood with “oh, the possibilities!” Here’s one possibility: asking $295,000 means you hire a cleaning service—before you take the pictures.
