Signs of the times 3

As you may know, the real estate market in the Bay Area is…well, it’s insanely expensive if you’re looking to buy, although evidently prices have fallen in the past three years. But For Sale signs don’t stay up for long (mostly), unless—I suppose—the place is a total horror.

But here’s something I’ve never seen anywhere else: not just For Sale signs, but “Coming Soon” signs. To wit:


& another:


I’m not even sure what this means—the house is a total horror inside & they’re not actually showing it yet until it’s fumigated & painted? It’s part of an estate & the heirs can’t agree on an asking price? The stager is backed up? The photographs for the flyer aren’t ready?

Finally: has anyone seen this sort of thing in other states?
