Your second paragraph is spot on. How many times I see bad pictures is remarkable. I see houses that are priced at a premium and it looks like a 7 year old took the pictures with an iPhone 4. And yes, often times the rooms are very cluttered which doesn’t do the seller any favors. I will also add as free advice to listing agents: if you highlight something in the description, include a picture of it in the pics. Drives me crazy and it should be real estate 101.
Corner lots have higher bonds than their neighbors, several times more expensive to maintain the lawn, and they are open invitations for dogs as they all seem to have a stop sign post or light post that the dogs are attracted to and they go on from there. If you live here full time and maintain your own lawn you'll not enjoy the summers.
