Alright, let’s decode some classic real estate phrases. If you’ve ever shopped for a house, you’ve probably heard a few of these before—and if you’re a realtor, you’ve definitely heard all of them.
• ‘It Has Potential’ – Translation: I’m going to gut this place and blow my budget doing it.
• ‘We Just Want Something Low Maintenance’ – Translation: We’ve never actually owned a home and think “low maintenance” means it won’t need anything ever.
• ‘It’s Cozy’ – Translation: It’s small. Really small. But we’re trying to sound nice about it.
• ‘We Can See Ourselves Entertaining Here’ – Translation: We’ll host one housewarming party and then retreat into our pajamas forever.
• ‘We’re Open to a Fixer-Upper’ – Translation: We binge-watched HGTV and have zero idea what a reno budget looks like in real life.
• ‘We’re Just Looking’ – Translation: We’re here to waste your time and have no real plans to buy anything.
