Pictures for houses that just sold instantly scrubbed from the internet

[Anonymous]

I don't get it why are the interior pictures of houses which just sold instantly removed off the internet? If you are looking at comps to see the inside this is important. Why do they do this? Is there anyway to see/find the interior pictures for that recently sold? Thank you.

Because people want their privacy. The new owners don't care about your comps.

I requested my house get taken off the second we purchased it. Nobody’s business what it looks like inside.

The inside is irrelevant for comps

But it takes months for anyones name to be associated with the house via updated tax records so if the pictures remain for let's say 30-60 days after the sale no one knows who bought it yet so they will still have their privacy. After that sure remove it, before that fair game for comps.

The interiors aren’t relevant to comps at all. The only things that matter for comps are square footage, location/lot size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms. How a house is decorated or updated don’t really factor in.

We are the former owners and I’m sort of glad our buyers had them removed. It was our furniture and pictures and “life” in their new home.

I downloaded the pics for our reference - so our kids could have the memory of their childhood home and the house was clean, and professionally staged and photographed; but when I went in later I saw that he pics were gone and the Google earth images blurred.

For buyers it does. Maybe not to realtors....buyers yes it does...

Buyers don’t set comps.

I realize there are a lot of stupid buyers who are swayed by decorating and staging but the interiors truly are not relevant to the establishment of comparable a used to value, price or appraise a house.

NP here. Well, to be fair, the insides are important. Four bedrooms is one thing, but if one bedroom is tiny and another bedroom is in the basement, that matters. If the bedrooms are like caves while in another house the bedrooms are sunny, that matters.

Of course it matters! The only people saying it doesn't is incompetent realtors here!
