Selling Your House? Don't Use These Descriptions

Reading Freakonomics, I came across some interesting tidbits of real estate information. Through his research, Steven Levitt discovered five terms that when used to describe a house, correlated with a lower sales price. The terms were:

• Fantastic


• Spacious


• !


• Charming


• Great Neighborhood

So, if you ever sell your house, be sure your agent doesn't try to use those terms. Instead, use terms that are descriptive and not vague.
