The kid wasn't there when the realtor took the photos. A friend's cousin's ex's hairstylist said the baby in the photos looks just like a kid that died in that neighborhood 15 years ago.

Ogre840: So not only do you need to check for termites, but you need to get the baby exterminator out there too? That's going to cost extra, hopefully the seller will pick it up in closing costs...

You just need to go to your local hardware store and pick up a babytrap.

If you see one it just means there's a bunch more in the walls.

Great, not only is it haunted, but it's haunted by a baby. As if regular ghost wailing wasn't bad enough.

Wait, I thought this was normal? I mean, I just bought a house, and I've got a couple of feral kids living in the attic. I just figured they were extra insulation.

Not a bad location - a quiet neighborhood, but close to the freeway.

I'm not sure how adding another money pit to a money pit would sweeten the deal.

Ok, I took a look at that one and a few others on the site...

WTF is 2.1 baths? More specifically, the 0.1 part.

I thought they only came in quarters, one each for sink, toilet, shower and tub.

0.1 = closet and an empty soda bottle?

puppypants: My babby loves to sit on the bathroom counter and brush her teeth. I am standing right behind her with my hand on her back the entire time. I cringed at the one with the babby leaning into the sink. That lean move is typically followed by random flinging backwards.

Dumb adult.

Not to worry, it's a stunt baby.

Elzar: Someone needs to fire these amateur hour realtors... Do they even want to sell these houses anymore?

You're kidding, right?

Do you have any idea how many people have looked at this otherwise unremarkable house BECAUSE there was a baby in the photos?
Sure, 99.99% of them aren't in the market for a house in WA. But the realtor got the word out about the house, and that is exactly what their job is.

Having a baby in the pictures also makes it easier for parents...and especially parents-to-be...to imagine their kids living there. Heck, as crazy as pregnant women get, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some making completely irrational decisions to buy that house, because of the baby in the pictures.

I'm so glad that I live in Texas. 500 more sqft, muuuuuch bigger piece of property, great neighborhood, excellent city (although it did have its first murder in like 50 years a few months ago), booming area, and my house was brand new and $70K less.

And only 25 minutes from Downtown Dallas* (*without traffic).

Now if you excuse me, i'm going to go home and kiss my house.....and my hot neighbor.
