There May Be Blood…

by Glenn Kelman | 10 Comments

After arguing that we should let foreclosures run their course, we saw just what this would look like in a bank-owned Oakland listing, first noticed by one of the Redfin Forums participants.

In the listing photos, a man sits in front of the house, seemingly with his head in his hands. In the floor of one room there is a large red slick of what appears to be blood, beside a pail of forlorn cleaning supplies. Is it a Halloween haunted house gone bad or something worse?

We cannot display the pictures in a blog post commenting on an active listing, per an agreement with our data providers. But feel free to join the discussion about what exactly is on the floor of this listing in the Forums or comment below…

    Looks like it already went off market; one can only wonder if the attention it got pulled the listing. I saw the photos before it went off market, and man, were they grim.

    Reminds me of the editorial post I did last week, where the kitchen had a huge red stain throughout. We made a game of guessing what was up with the house. Wish the post had of stayed on the home page longer – it was a hoot.

    Mr. Kelman, I own and have been designing a real estate marketing website “FlatRateRealEstate” I have been trying to post on several blogs about the face of present and future real estate. One paragraph that I have wrote is the following…

    Denial, some people think that certain things last forever.however those people eventually learn the plain and simple truth.many many years ago the dinosaurs romed the earth alongside real estate brokers and agents who held the “holy grail”..”the mls book” but then came along came the world wide web.dinosaurs extinct and brokers and agents wondering when people would notice that they in fact did not hold the “mls” anymore. the big listing fee is done and gone..to earn the big commission you’ll have to bring the buyer to the table!

    THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE IS HERE AND COMING TO A TOWN NEAR YOU!

    Please let me know if you interested in any joint ventures or expansions…

    But its more than that. I dont know how . I warned you, he said. Thats not what I mean. The wrinkles of amusement deepened about his eyes. The name of this Institute is your responsibility. Miss Taggart, he said quietly. I have been disillusioned so often.

    A strange hopelessness threatened underneath the pleasant thrum of release, but he fought it off. Like him, Hyle was naked save for the robe that had seen better days. To a raedjour, that could be as effective as a douse of icy cold water. But the vetriese… Irin paused. The stone beneath her clutching fingers started to crumble. He thumbed a tear from her cheek. She finished off her wine and set her goblet aside. Since you will be the test subject, I think youll be feeling more than seeing. Nialdlye stood to one side, directing. Her fists closed on the tasseled ends of her belt. Big fingers cupped her chin, tilted her face up. I know youre with Nialdlye now. But… At the wrestling match, and before… All this time… He stroked gentle fingertips along her jaw. The larger part of her brain writhed with the rest of her body. She frowned a little and squinted to get as best a look as she could. Without variety, our culture would grow evenmore stagnant. You must remember I grew up isolated. She didnt know how to interpret his small smile. She shivered, squeezing him tight.
