Given the listing price of just $24,000, I assume that this home is in a rather frightening neighborhood. [Update: Confirmed. Murder risk 3x the national average, robbery risk 6x… yikes!] This might explain why the previous owner apparently left in such a hurry, scattering the contents of their desk all over the floor in their rush to vacate the premises.

What I really enjoyed about this (small) set of photos is how the rest of the house appears to be completely empty. Maybe the former occupant lived a very simple life and this was the only room they used?

Park your butt and get some work done.

I have to say, I don’t really understand the point of photos like these that almost exclusively feature furniture, decor, and other items that won’t be sold with the home.

Cool table! Now I’m totally going to buy this home!

On the other hand, when this is the most exciting shot of the home itself that you can come up with…

I can see why you would prefer to feature the decor instead.

You’re looking at the primary listing photo for this home. The number one, most important feature that the listing agent wanted to highlight to potential buyers is a built-in desk. With an iron and a pencil sharpener on it.

Either this agent is a genius at very specific targeted marketing, or… well…
