I've had to construct an entire narrative around this to make it make sense but I think I've saved it.

Realtor goes out to survey the property or whatever the hell they do. She takes some notes on those little flip-out notepads that they stopped making around the time everyone got an iPhone. 3 bedrooms. But, the twist! Her handwriting is shit. Maybe it smudges a little. Who knows. She heads back to the realtor store and hand the notes off to an intern. She's got a hot date, doesn't have time to stick around all night Zillowing. But the intern, see, he left his glasses at home and then he spilled coffee on his keyboard. So he's there squinting at the notepad dictating into the text-to-speech software. He gets to the bedrooms. Reads the number wrong, but quickly corrects himself. "8- oh, 3 beds." Doesn't notice the mistake. He's in a rush. He's got a hot date too. With the realtor. Scandal ensues. Everyone gets too caught up in the resulting HR investigation to realize until it's too late, and the house is on the market. And now the district attorney wants to buy the house, and they only have three days to build 800 bedrooms or they're going to jail for architecture fraud. Eva Longoria, Joe Keery, and Walton Goggins star in Halfway House, from the director of The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and The Tooth Fairy, and visionary producer Timur Bekmambetov, in theaters this January. "This estate is anything but real." Rated PG-13.

All that greenery in the pictures is gonna be turned into a crap wasteland in short time

2.3 acres in that neighborhood is where the asking price comes from. The Charlotte market is just that hot.

EpeeGnome@feddit.online · 10 pts · 324d

With that many bedrooms, they should be asking a lot more though.

Albbi@lemmy.ca · 18 pts · 324d

Gonna be a hell of a lineup for one of the 2 bathrooms.

DaddleDew@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 324d

They're counting the mouse nests as well

Anyone ever read House of Leaves?

EpeeGnome@feddit.online · 10 pts · 324d (1 reply)

Even if the other rooms in the house took up no space at all, that would still only leave around 2.4 square feet per bedroom. Maybe it's like one of those Japanese capsule hotels.

It's too bad they only included pics of the 3 main level bedrooms and not the other 800.

edgemaster72@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 324d

I think I found a picture of one of the bedrooms, it's actually very cozy

Almost 3x the size of my house in a town in the UK and only a bit more expensive. Vastly more land too.

Only redeeming thing is we could afford it on minimum wage.

Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 324d (1 reply)

Damn you must be one hell of a budgeting expert to afford this on $7.25 an hour.

Oh wait.

Korhaka@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 323d

£12.21 ($16.41) is minimum wage here

cloudless@piefed.social · 7 pts · 324d

Possibly counting Ikea flat-pack beds.

This looks just like some scam listing I've seen. Most will have only google street view, but local scammers will go and take quick photos of the outside.

xylol@leminal.space · 5 pts · 324d

There was this house for sale when we were looking that had a huge section if the house with big storage racks and a bunch if beds and a large like 5 person gym shower. My guess is it was some kind of illegal sweat shop operation

AI hard at work.

Furbag@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 304d

Realtors never proofread shit. This kind of fuckup happens all the time with houses in the millions listed for like $1,000.

You'd bet that if any of these listings were in any way considered binding that they would quadruple check their accuracy before submitting, but apparently it's okay to be completely wrong about something you are advertising to potential clients and still get to keep your job afterwards.

What's bad about this? Needs work but seems like a good plot.

Jhogenbaum@leminal.space · 4 pts · 323d

Only thing I see is that it says it is an 800 bed house
