Trying to Buy A House In California In 2026

About this sketch

A real estate agent tries to convince a homebuyer that a burned-down house is actually an incredible investment opportunity. This real estate comedy sketch parodies housing prices, home buying, realtor sales tactics, bidding wars, and the modern housing market.

As the tour gets worse, the sales pitch gets stronger. Between fire damage, collapsing floors, and impossible pricing, the realtor somehow finds a way to describe every disaster as a feature.

If you've looked at home listings, searched for a house, dealt with real estate agents, or wondered who is buying these properties, this sketch is for you.
