I know this is an older post, but I figured I’d clarify for non-New Englanders A “condex” is like a cross between a condo and a duplex- it’s like two single-family houses attached to each other. No common areas, no condo association or fees, and you pay separate property taxes. Most of the time the houses mirror each other, but in some cases (like this) they are just attached.
As far as the extra photos in the listing, I see that quite often up here too

I desire to make use of some of the content material on my weblog. Naturally I’ll offer you a link on my web blog. Thanks for sharing.

Too funny! I saw this posting since my husband and I are looking to relocate. I thought it was pretty odd myself!

Oh I'm so glad you did a post on it! I've been laughing at that MLS post for months (cause it's been for sale for a loooong time.) Sometimes they even change the ridiculous pictures. I knew when I found your site that I just had to send it in, haha - glad to see so many others seemed to have gotten a kick out of it as well! .-= Shannon´s last blog ..Kitchen Renovation - Day 3: Window, Lights and Crisis Recap =-.

Actually, I think the dog has a glint in his eye. I don’t fancy that cat’s chances once the camera goes away.
When we were house shopping, we were very tickled by a (waterfront) house listing which was careful to state Ducks not included. Too bad, we would have paid an extra $100k for them!

$200K will buy me a house where dogs and cats live in love and harmony? How cool is that? (I wonder if there's a house that features sibling harmony?) .-= Richella at Imparting Grace´s last blog ..Dishing with Amanda =-.

I guess the money hat is for all those strangers and animals I’ll have to support if I buy this condex and all it’s “extras”.
Thanks for the laugh!

Okay so my guess:

Couple 1. unit perfect for starting out or couple 2 empty-nesters, but could be paths that take you back in time to the tennis courts.

Bird: quiet complex or has forest setting.

Money hat: fed tax credit ifin purchase contract by 4/30/10 (agree with above)

Cat n Dog: complex pet friendly.

Condex: a condo that attached to one other unit (duplex mashed with condo.)

This is better than the high end house websites that show macro pix of an orchid or an objet de art, that the decorator billed $165, marked down from $250, that I could pick up in Tijuana for fin if I had the guts to cross the boarder, and other stuff that doesn’t even go with the house.

Just when I think we’ve seen it all in bad mls listings–you do it again and prove to us that there are still nutty people out there. I love the 1990s couple on the walk. I’m sure they are talking about how they are going to update their new home with some hunter green and mauve.
