Funny u mention that....I am moving from NJ to AZ and have been looking at houses in AZ.
Not only do i notice those kinda pics (i think the point is to make it look bigger) ...and EXTREMELY photoshopped pictures that are so photoshopped it looks like a painting rather than a photo.
It's bad if the pics look TOO good, because when the person actually visits the house it is much less than they expected and wind up disapointed.
I've seriously seen photos where the colors and tints and everything are so unrealistic and edited it's not even realistic enough to be a painting
I've also seen photos where there is garbage all over the place, clothes on the floor...its cluttered and there are dirty dishes on teh tables and in worst cases so much stuff all over u cant even see the floors or walls
You would think people would spend some time cleaning up a bit before they put photos of their homes up
Im happy with the pictures the photographer took at my house except for 2 of them. For some reason the photo of our kitchen looks much smaller in the photo than it actually is.....he didnt take it from the furthest point he took it in like the middle of our kitchen.....we also have a TV room and the photos make it look smaller than it is and really narrow when its pretty wide. Usually pro photographers will make the room look a little bigger. But i guess it can be a good thing cause people are coming expecting to see smaller rooms and find its bigger than they saw on the net
The pictures of houses in my area are usually fairly accurate and well done but looking at AZ (Phoenix and Tucson specifically) i find there are a lot that seem overdone and a lot that seem underdone

A couple of reasons for this are that so many homes/condos in the Phoeix and Tucson areas are rented. Tenants often don't bother to clean up, and sometimes prefer that the house doesn't sell.
Those areas STILL have plenty of short sales and foreclosures. You can't always tell online if that is what you are looking at. Again, nobody gives a rats pattoty about making the place look great.
I'd also say that because of the HUGE number of distressed properties in Phoenix/Tucson in 2008-2012, there are plenty of bad realtors who got into the business. They are STILL bad and never learned how to properly sell a home. (warning - be careful when you hire a buyers agent.) And investor owned properties are everywhere (warning - be careful when you make and offer an get a really really good inspection).
