Look, we realize real esate agents are stressing for business but ummmm, dang, has it really come to this? This is a true bonafide listing for sale on the MLS. Buyer: I'm calling about Carol Ave. Tell me about it Agent: It has some water intrusion. Buyer: That's OK. What about the neighborhood? Agent: It's changing. It's very fluid. Buyer: Huh? Agent: Let me put it this way. Do you like the Little Mermaid? 5 Comments What a deal! Not only do you get a dated brown shingle home on the outside, but wow you also get a white post-modern curvy condo inside. (giggle) My initial theories on this listing: 1. Must be a Mixed Marriage: Exterior by Berkeley Hippie & Interior by SOMA Yuppie 2. The house (& probably owner) is schizophrenic 3. The person who designed the inside has something against right angles. 4. It's not just mental cognizant dissonance , it's rental cognizant dissonance What are your theories for how this dubious design came about? If I've said it once I've said it a million times, please match outside architecture with inside decor. (If you missed the memo, revisit my webcast here!) |
