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

- 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.

So, in the US, switching to dimmable lights is literally just changing the switch and making sure you have dimmable bulbs in the sockets. With LED lights, it's a little worse because different brands have different resistances and if all of the LED lights on a circuit aren't the same brand & model, they tend to flicker.
In that house, even as cheap as LED lights have become, changing all those out for dimmables (assuming they aren't already) would be expensive. There must be close to 100 in-ceiling lights in there; dimmable LEDs are around $4 here, so that's a budget of $500 just for the bulbs. The switches can be inexpensive, but say if you're going to do it, might as well get nice ones - that's $30 per switch, although you want only one dimmer per circuit, so you're looking at maybe 6? Another couple hundred, so maybe a napkin budget of $700. Maybe more if you need to replace other switches to match style and color, but toggle switches are dirt cheap.
Replacing the switches is easy; it'd take longer to swap out all of the ceiling bulbs.
Jesus, that's a lot of bulbs.
