Today's contender for strangest estate agent picture is ...

[Wendyer]

What even is it?

Would like to see any other similarly puzzling pictures :)

Picture is under review.

Crystal ball? House belonging to Gypsy Rose Lee perhaps

And that’s picture number 1! Why on earth would they do that instead a full frontage pic?!

Why?!

I think it is one of those spheres which means an angelic being was present when the photo was taken. Ir probably isn't visible to the naked eye, but the agent should have edited the picture to remove it.

It's a glass or stainless steel sphere garden fountain. All the rage about 10 or 15 years ago and were very expensive. Maybe it's trying to hint that the rest of the house has had money spent on it.

Just why!!!!

Oh yes - I think you're right. It's a fountain. Still a strange choice of pic though!

Oops - sorry, I quoted the wrong person!

My immediate thought was water feature.

Looks like someone's blown up a condom at a student party.

Enjoy.

That's exactly what it is. Though why the EA thought this would be a good leading photo is far more mysterious.

It’s ready to hatch…

They could at least have given it a clean.

I would automatically assume the outside of the house looks terrible if that’s the best picture they could come up with! Although maybe a tactic to make people click to find out what it is and then look through the rest of the photos 🤔

Brilliant!

Thank you. 😘

Like @Mochudubh I came on to mention terrible estate agent photos. I first came across the book in Waterstones and I had to leave because I laughed so much I cried. A great way to cheer up a dull day.

Agree that this photo seems worthy of inclusion!

This made me laugh out loud!

Thank you for this!

The captions to the pictures are HILARIOUS 🤣

Yes, despite the use of "Real Estate" rather than just "Estate Agent" and a lot of the photos looking American, the humour is very British, as is the spelling (colour etc) so I think it's a British site or run by a Brit..

I read it as “terrible [but] real Estate Agent photographs”

It's not the orb that's worrying me, it's the buffalo horns in the window behind...
