<p>Oh yeah, I will definitely be going down that hallway. NOT.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the entire listing description:</p>
<blockquote><p>AWESOME HOME IN THE BEST PART OF DETROIT</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_02.jpg" rel="lightbox[6093]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_02.jpg" alt="18045 Parkside St., Detroit, MI 48221" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6143" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_02.jpg 640w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_02-415x311.jpg 415w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_02-470x353.jpg 470w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_02-100x75.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>I think the listing agent and I have <em>very</em> different definitions of &#8220;awesome home.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_03.jpg" rel="lightbox[6093]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_03.jpg" alt="18045 Parkside St., Detroit, MI 48221" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6144" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_03.jpg 640w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_03-415x311.jpg 415w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_03-470x353.jpg 470w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_03-100x75.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>I also get the feeling that &#8220;the best part of Detroit&#8221; is sort of like &#8220;the warmest part of Antarctica.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_04.jpg" rel="lightbox[6093]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_04.jpg" alt="18045 Parkside St., Detroit, MI 48221" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6145" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_04.jpg 640w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_04-415x311.jpg 415w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_04-470x353.jpg 470w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_04-100x75.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>Gotta love the effort put forth by the listing agent.</p>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_05.jpg" rel="lightbox[6093]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_05.jpg" alt="18045 Parkside St., Detroit, MI 48221" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6146" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_05.jpg 640w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_05-415x311.jpg 415w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_05-470x353.jpg 470w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/18045-Parkside-St-48221_05-100x75.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>The home does at least have an interesting architecture, but overall, if this is &#8220;awesome&#8221; in &#8220;the best part of Detroit&#8221;&#8230; yikes.</p>

<p>Sadly, it has fallen into a bit of disrepair.</p>

<p>You would be forgiven for wondering why a dated, dingy, run-down, nondescript home in Aberdeen, WA&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_02.jpg" rel="lightbox[1999]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_02.jpg" alt="1210 E 1st St., Aberdeen, WA 98520" width="533" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2001" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_02.jpg 533w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_02-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;with a totally half-assed set of photos (I mean <em>really</em>&mdash;is it <em>that hard</em> to <strong>focus</strong> a camera?) would sport an asking price of <strong>half a million dollars</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_03.jpg" rel="lightbox[1999]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_03.jpg" alt="1210 E 1st St., Aberdeen, WA 98520" width="533" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2002" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_03.jpg 533w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_03-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px" /></a></p>
<p>Especially when <a href="http://www.redfin.com/WA/Aberdeen/509-E-2nd-St-98520/home/14787547" title="509 E 2nd St., Aberdeen, WA 98520">similar homes nearby have recently sold for under $25,000</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_04.jpg" rel="lightbox[1999]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_04.jpg" alt="1210 E 1st St., Aberdeen, WA 98520" width="533" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2003" srcset="https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_04.jpg 533w, https://looneylisting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/1210-E-1st-St-98520_04-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px" /></a></p>
<p>Apparently the seller thinks that the fact that this home was <a href="http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2021893278_cobainhomexml.html" title="Mom selling Kurt Cobain’s childhood home in Wash.">one of &#8220;about 20 houses&#8221; lived in by Kurt Cobain</a> somehow increases its value 20-fold.</p>
