How about a link to the photo of the bathroom floor? I'm not interested
in checking out the "for
sale" crap or waiting for a dozen photos of whatever to download.

Yea, it started download real estate sale junk and I just cancelled it
when the wood stove showed. Assumed it was spam in disguise.

It doesn't seem likely that one small area would be spongy if the joists
were ready to collapse.
Probably has rotted subfloor from water leaking under the lino. Does he
have a basement?

I had similar problem in a rental home I lived in, but around the
toilet. Landlord took up the toilet,
replaced section of subfloor with plywood.

The best way to fix joists are to sister them and cut out any rot.

If the place is for sale, he needs to get some better photos and fix the
fence. Showing three cars outside blocking the house is not very impressive
to perspective buyers.

I went back and looked again letting it download. At least they all have
plates on them.

"I have chosen not to use the services of a professional realtor."

Not hard to tell. Seller needs to learn a little about clutter. People
can and should live any way they want but when you are showing a house to
sell, you can't.

Nice bag of trash hanging on the doorknob there. Must be a reminder.
