(resending)
I agree with Stan here. "Caveat Emptor!"
BUT: believe it or not, some people do buy houses remotely, unseen. I cannot
imagine myself doing that, but...
Our friends moved to a small town in OH last Fall, and there was only one house
on the market in the area they wanted (and ISD). They couldn't fly out (I
suspect they were afraid it would be sold). So, they pulled the
trigger.
As for NSW and Australia in general, - from what I heard from Rob while
visiting that area some 5.5 years ago, - a lot of people from south-eastern
Asia are buying real estate in Australia remotely, unseen. I doubt they would
be investing in this type of houses, but who knows...

I won't comment on the legality or ethicality but practically speaking I think
this is dumb. If someone were to visit the house based on their impression from
the image, the mismatch with reality would be so off-putting that they would
never even step in the front door.

I'm pretty sure that there's no Photoshop involved here: The
photographer just got very close with a wide angle lens and then
positioned the camera fairly low to the ground. (You can see from
other photos that the p[hotographer would have to have been *very*
close to the house to be on the lawn.)
