“Honey, Stop the Car!”

Our friends over at Plum Win scooped us on this one. With all this pesticide ranting I haven’t had time to comment on this annoying real estate marketing ploy that has been eating at me for weeks. A few months ago a house came on the market on my street with this sign. I thought, “hmmm, that bugs, but I am sure it’s some looney greenhorn realtor’s idea.” Then I see another and another. Then, as if that sign is not horrible enough, I come across the “Talking House! Tune Your Radio to 1460AM” sign right under the Honey sign. Ugh. Have we reached this point, Sacramento?

UPDATE: As web dudes here at the Rag, I must admit that I do think it is rather clever to advertise your house by purchasing the domain for your street address and whipping up your own site to sell your home. Because if you’ve ever tried to navigate through the MetroList service you probably have been frustrated with the lack of details and specifics for the house you may have your eye on.
