Every Christmas Eve the garbage bags wait patiently in front of the fireplace, hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus. But have they been hefty hefty hefty little garbage bags, or wimpy wimpy wimpy?

Loveliest comment, by Angel: Bag in front hopes upon hope for a pretty red twist tie from Santa. Broom leans in hoping to catch a glimpse, and a matching dustpan all her own.

Copy & paste this:
Those garbage bags are oddly shaped … almost as though they are filled with body parts … *runs away screaming*

Yeah, but look at the high ceiling.
Or is that a short door opening?
For Santa’s sake, it had better be hefty. One of them seems to be armed.
$15,000? Really? That house appears to at least have structural integrity, so I’m guessing the neighborhood is…ahem…less than desirable. Pittsburghers, am I right?
“Lots of potential” – Appears to me to be a tenement that has been doing its job for about a hundred years.
That stone garage looks like ogres live in it.
Features a purdah-ready latticed second-floor porch.
Later pictures show the ground floor windows boarded up. This raises some questions about livability.
I don’t know much about Pittsburgh but that fireplace looks original, and intact…right down to the tile, and mirror, which does not scream tenement.
That would be my guess too. It’s a house that costs less than a new car! There has to be a catch.
Agnes, did you see who moved in next door?
Excellent Family Guy reference ^-^
I like how they mention new ceramic tile floors, like those’ll make the sale.
That’s one of the grimmest houses I’ve ever seen.
I just have to point out, while I always enjoy the captions added to pics here, this one in particular made me grin ear to ear upon reading it
Thanks, I needed that!
Presumably the bags are hoping Santa will bring them the road to gentrification because…holy crap, 15k? Isn’t that about the going rate for a car? An economy car at that?
Yeah, and “as is” is also used car sale language…
Santa? Nope. They just found Dexter’s hiding spot.
Looks like the house might have been a home business at some time – the front windows might be useful for a seamstress or a hairdresser.
Unfortunately, the “sunset in hell” logo of the estate agent and the other pictures makes me think of Sweeney Todd.
The taxes are $2,000 on a $15,000 house? Liked how they managed to board up the porch while they were taking pictures. Love the garage! Lots of “potential” dumpster material there. Also more unburied bodies.
I also particularly liked that there were pictures before the boarding up, and after. Like we were seeing time lapse photography of that poor house’s eventual surrender into what is clearly going to be an inevitable collapse unless something changes pronto.
I think a lot of the rules of staging are sort of strange, “remove all family photos” “color coordinate the clothes in your closet” — I mean, maybe it’s me, but I find that a vaguely creepy overall impact, “Oh, what a nice house these faceless drones have…”
But some of them are good rules, like the one that should state “remove actual garbage before taking picture”, only that’s not a staging rule, it’s more a “if you have the common sense God gave a goat, do this!” sort of rule.
Despite the bad things I see in the advertisement if this house was in Vancouver I would buy it NOW. $15K U.S. wouldn’t even get you six months rent of a house like that here.
I knew a family with 6 kids and each year, the parents stuffed their their presents in a Hefty bag and slapped a bow on it. They’d awake every Christmas morning to pretty much what the picture shows. Six green bags under the tree–now that’s Christmas!
That’s not Christmas! Christmas would have zip lock bags hanging from the mantle. You can see that this is a congregation of trash bags worshiping the Orange Juice Box on the mantle. I’m guessing by the arrangement of the bags that this is the yearly celebration of when the giant orange came down the chimney and released the trash bags from their earthly realm.
