The Coded Words in Real Estate Listings

Keeping It Real Estate with Colleen Benson

Ever wondered what "cozy" truly implies in a real estate listing, or why "rustic" can be a tricky term? If you've ever skimmed through a real estate listing, chances are you've come across some puzzling terminology.

On this week's episode, we pull back the curtain on the coded language of real estate listings. We unpack the meaning behind terms like "fixer upper", "handyman special", and "motivated seller", and discuss how these phrases impact your perception as a buyer.

With technology shaking up the traditional real estate market, we also explore how AI is reshaping the language of listings and what new words we might expect in the future.

Here are some of the things we’ll tackle on today’s show:

• What should you expect when a home is listed as a ‘fixer-upper’?
• Does motivated seller mean you can get a better deal?
  Cozy might be a nicer way of describing a home on the smaller size.
• What ‘as is’ means and why it’s not as bad of a thing as it used to be.
• What questions get raised when you see a ‘cash only’ home?
