Real estate listing for decaying, stinky 'house from hell' already sold a week after being listed
A previous tenant allegedly spray-painted vulgarities on every surface, left rotting meat in the basement and caused other damage before leaving
There’s a buyer for every house.
Normally, a real estate agent will try to focus on a house’s positive features while trying to sell it. One house in Colorado, however, was in such bad shape that its agent decided that brutal honesty was the best approach.

Despite that, it reportedly only took a week for the house to sell.
The house is located in Colorado Springs, a fairly upscale neighborhood, Fox 21 reports. The house was listed at $590,000, which is lower than what other houses in the neighborhood are worth.
The listing reportedly described it as "a little slice of hell." Photos of the house show significant damage, including spray-painted vulgarities on almost every surface.
