Property Descriptions and What They REALLY Mean?

As a change of pace with all of the changes going on, I thought I'd bring some levity to my blog today.  I found these descriptions/phrases on various real estate websites and thought I'd bring them together here.  Be sure to let me know if you have one of your own or know of one you can add to this list.

When it says:                                                                       This is what it REALLY means:

MUCH POTENTIAL                                                            Steer clear unless you have a lot of money!

UNIQUE CITY HOME                                                         Used to be a warehouse

CONTEMPORARY                                                             Lots if steel shelves with little holes like the
                                                                                              kind your dad used to store tools on.

ONE-OF-A-KIND                                                               Ugly as sin

UPPER BRACKET                                                               If you have to ask…

YOU’LL LOVE IT                                                                No you won’t

MUST SEE TO BELIEVE                                                     An absolutely accurate statement

SPACIOUS                                                                           Average

COZY                                                                                   Very Small

WALK TO STORES                                                             Nowhere to park your car

BRIGHT AND SUNNY                                                        Drapes and blinds not included

SPRAWLING RANCH                                                         Floor plan sucks

SECLUDED SETTING                                                         Just try and find it

EXECUTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD                                        Taxes are really high

UNAFFECTED CHARM                                                      Needs painting

STARTER HOME                                                                  Run Down

NATURAL SETTING                                                            Deer will eat your plants and bushes

PARK LIKE SETTING                                                          There's a tree in the yard

AND MUCH, MUCH MORE                                                Can’t think of anything more to say

When I was searching for a home it boasted of the great views and needed some TLC.  I can say it had an awesome view that was getting closer all the time.  The house was falling down the side of mountain.  You had to take dramamine just to view it!
