House for Sale
A front page story in our paper this morning was that the mean price of a house for sale in our county is now $600,000. That's just ridiculous. Especially so when you consider some of these half-million dollar domiciles.
You put a house up for sale. You or your real estate agent takes the most flattering picture of it you can, and incorporate it with a brief description of the amenites into a small ad to appear in the newspaper or any of various real estate tabs. Generally the pictures are not much bigger than thumbnails, but still try to show the place from its best angle.
Here are few houses new to the market. Each has a price tag of at least $500,000. Let's take a look.
The most prominent element of many urban houses is - the garage door. Notice the wonderful latice rectangle decorating the upper wall. The sellers thoughtfully washed the driveway just before taking the picture.
These folks tastefully trimmed the hedges to echo the semi-circualr garage door windows. And notice how they trimmed the tree in front so it perfectly covers the window.
The predominant amenity of this place is the kennel in the side yard. They turned on the sprinkler to green things up for the photo.
Low maintenance yard. You can sit on a concrete bench and admire the bird bath from either side.
Another very attractive garage door. But what is that hiding in the driveway? Does it come with the house?
