9126 Warp Dr

Someone was having fun when naming this street.
That's in the $400s? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

In typical San Antonio builder fashion I expect all the other streets in the neighborhood to have Star Trek names as well. Directions: Turn onto Federation Ct, take second left onto Piccard Rd (NOT right to Klingon Dr!), Right on Vulcan Ln, and right to Warp Dr (please observe speed limit).

I'm guilty of some "puffery" occasionally with my listings but when I think stunning and custom, wall-to-wall carpet, cheap tile and harsh lighting don't typically come to mind.

Great pics too.

Anyone have some other examples are badass listing agent work?

What Wenrong?



Those pics look like they were done by an appraiser.

This was my favorite from that listing. Extra pantry area at fireplace & designer wall texture,paint & tile work. Add in the incredible aroma from that full ashtray & this picture really sells it.

So much beige, it's like I stumbled back into 2005!

Haha funny!

However, super tacky to have your attic pull down in the family room right?

Yeah it is pretty bad. I imagine whoever makes an offer on that house will seriously low ball them.

To be fair - this is in the garage apartment in the back of the house. Pretty sweet apartment.

Not a fan of the flooring, but that's something that can be dealt with.

Overweight or tall people need not apply. Good view of the pool though. LOL

Grand Homes must not be in your area. They've never met a room they couldn't add 7 weird ceiling and/or wall angles and a random strip of molding to!
Staff - take out the trash.

Another Castle Hills disaster! It's a bear trying to straighten out a house that only takes 1 45 degree turn (ask me how I know!), yet somehow they managed to put 2 of them in there.

I'd heard about tear downs in the old parts of The Woodlands, but this one really jumps the shark.

https://www.har.com/homedetail/11033-ellwood-st-the-woodlands-tx-77380/9889124

$270/sq ft is high, even for new construction, unless you're on the golf course or in East Shore. This home is not on the golf course.

Here are two recently sold comps on the same street.

https://www.har.com/homedetail/11110-ellwood-st-spring-tx-77380/5339504?sid=4655850

https://www.har.com/homedetail/11103-ellwood-st-the-woodlands-tx-77380/5339857?sid=4098130

Nothing on the street is valued over $375k by the CAD. This home was valued at $248k before they tore it down.

T&P for that appraiser.

FANS!!!! FANS!!!! FANS!!!!






What is going on in this home? Looks like it flooded, someone bought it cheap and tried to flip it, but ran out of cash?

The shot in "the kitchen" with the industrial size box of baking soda let's you know the flood stink is gone.

I can't believe the realtor wrote that the home is in "habitable condition (80%)" with a straight face. And the additional buildings on the property could be used for guests OR animals. Because, you know, all guests want to be treated as well as an animal.

That doesn't seem so odd to me. My neighbor in College Station was a builder, and his wife was a realtor who listed his houses.

Ok but what's with the tub spout? I've never seen a setup like that before, is it some kind of way to avoid getting cold water on your arm while also giving you something to hit your shins against?

Could be helpful when cleaning the shower enclosure. That fixed shower had sure isn't going to be useful.

Some Charleston Fun

The picture on the realtor.com search page for this house is below. On the actual listing it's google maps street view but I think the dumpster still works here.




Flippers are done with the place near me that looked like a total dump and it's up here. Not a fan of painted brick, especially over here because it ages like milk, but at least now you can look at pictures without feeling like you need to go wash your hands.

edit: before pics of the flipped house

Honestly, I would prefer to get the temperature correct and test with my foot rather than stand under either scalding hot or freezing cold water while I had just it. I don't think those arwe as weird as you imagine.
