The Age recently published little article I loved and couldn’t wait to share with you. It describes a special lexicon, a vocabulary that real estate agents use to make horrible dump sound like a palace. Didn’t it happen to you before – reading the ad makes you feel like you’ve found your dream home, just so you could be terribly disappointed when you see it in real life?
Here are a couple of examples:
They write: BRIGHT AND SUNNY
Which means: The previous tenant scarpered with all the blinds and curtains.
PETS OK

ONE WEEK’S RENT FREE
Will somebody please, please sign a lease on this uninhabitable shithole?!
Anyway, here’s the link and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Click here to read the full article about real estate adds lexicon.
