It's been a while since I've written a piece on the REtipster Blog for no other reason than just pure fun.
I think its important to have fun every now and then… so this week, I wanted to show you a little collection of some CRAZY real estate pictures I've been pulling together for the past few months.
For one reason or another, each one of these pictures made me sit back and say “Wow” – and if you're looking for something interesting to break up the monotony of the day, I'm willing to bet some of these will probably shock and amaze you too. Check these out and enjoy!

Thanks Seth, this was a nice diversion from the stress of the day.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment Todd – always happy to be a good distraction. 🙂
Fun stuff – I think I like The Woods in a Cabin the best.
Thanks Karl – that one is pretty cool.
Seth, thanks for digging this images up. Some of them are just mind-blowing. My favorite is #7 – the tree house. I wonder how much a unit or condo goes for in that place!?!
Thanks Lucas! I know what you mean – it’s still hard for me to believe some of these places exist.
Hi! Those are such unique real estates. Some gave such a beautiful effect; some gave me a surprise. Thank you for sharing this!
Absolutely Adrian! Thanks for checking it out!
Hey Seth,
Great collection of pictures. The architecture on some of those buildings is just mind blowing.
Thanks Samuel! I agree – some of the buildings in the world today are pretty bizarre (and cool)!
That sky pool is pretty epic. I’d be a little afraid to swim in though. It would be freaky looking down and realizing you’re so far up.
Haha, that’s a great point Alexis… I hadn’t thought about the experience of actually SWIMMING in the thing! Lol
Cool real estate photos. Very nice presentations
