New ZealandLovely Listing - Odd Finds in Real Estate Listings

Ahhh, it's brilliant

I’m sure there are good reasons to include a photo of Father Dougal in your listing, as found by Edmund. True, I can’t think what the reasons might be… but I’m starting to get the impression they do things a little differently in New Zealand. For example, it appears that they insulate houses with “button cods,” which I believe is babytalk for what Americans, in our trademark-infringing way, call Q-Tips. That’s what the listing says, anyway. I am so confused. Just like Dougal.

The rest of this house is one of those “Awesome or awful?” quandaries, but this — this! — this is too much. Built-in, permanent, cement armchairs? No.

Found by Liz.

What? Why would you have a creepy feeling about this house that April found? I don’t see a single thing wrong with it. Tra la la…

I’ve decided not to put any photos with children on my blog, in case… ah… eeevil people see the listing and go to the house and kidnap the children and refuse to return them until the parents agree to co-sign on their mortgages. Fortunately the person who put together this listing — found by Siobhan — agrees with me. Children? What children?

I'm really starting to wonder about New Zealand

Ebony, who found this listing, lives in New Zealand — so I guess we can presume she knows what normal listings there are like, and that they don’t usually contain tortoises. Which is a shame, really, because it would be something people could say about New Zealand, something that didn’t have to do with Lord of the Rings or sheep.

Actually, it'd be quite weird in New Zealand as well

Megan in NZ left a link to this listing in a comment, but I just had to stick it up front. The homeowner seems to be an exhibitionist, and it’s good to have goals.
