A real estate listing for a suburban home has left netizens in stitches over its unusually green lawn. Estate agency Property Gurus South Australia recently advertised the four-bedroom brick home in Elizabeth Downs, north of Adelaide, for $350,000. But the listing has now gone viral online with house hunters mocking how badly Photoshopped the home’s lush front and back lawns are. “This is the new kind of grass called ‘Chernobyl’, you should see it at night,” said one house hunter – referring to the Ukrainian city where a nuclear power plant melted down in 1986. A South Australian estate agency has been mocked online for editing the grass in a property listing to make it unusually green The images are in stark contrast to earlier photos of the same property when it was sold in 2010 (pictured) “How do I get my grass so green?” another joked. “Oh dear… (They) got the window which looks ok but that ‘lawn,’” said another. “They also don’t understand that once someone goes to an open, the jig will be up” A third pointed out: “You can literally see the green brush in the last picture because it was accidentally used on the tree. This is excellent.” One interviewee described how they experienced a similar incident when a real estate agent came to take pictures to list their property. “We sold our place a few years ago and it was a cloudy day when the photographer came to take pictures. “When the pictures were posted, the sky was photoshopped because it was a clear blue sky with a fluffy white cloud.” Photos of the listing were discovered by a Reddit user and shared online, with users clapping and joking about the weird editing job (pictured, the backyard of the house). The listing agent told Daily Mail Australia they were asked to redact the photos and claimed they were not “illegal” (pictured, the backyard of the same house in 2010) Daily Mail Australia understands that the photos of the house were photoshopped quickly. A real estate agent at the company also insisted that the editing of the images was not illegal. It was not suggested that it was. Real estate agencies routinely airbrush their online listings. Property Gurus SA have since cut the grass in their photos below the listing.
