The word "NEW" is probably the most overstated word in real estate. I see it all the time. To me, NEW means never been used. It means it was installed VERY recently, as in the last 6 months. A roof that's a year old is not NEW. It's newER.
It's wise to advertise items as newer versus new.
I recently showed a home that had a flyer on the kitchen counter that read "NEW DISHWASHER 2005! NEW BACK DOOR 2009, NEW A/C 2010." Granted those are all nice additions, but they are hardly new.
Paint is paint. I have never seen a paint job that was "designer." What exactly is designer paint anyways?
Breakfast rooms can be sun-filled. I like that. But they aren't incredibly gorgeous or breathtaking. I've never walked into someone's "morning room" and passed out with its beauty.
Do you know anyone that bird watches? I don't. I've never even met someone that did. The other day I was surfing the MLS and read a caption under a photo that read... "Imagine yourself sipping coffee and bird watching with this incredible view." I was so intrigued that I took to Google Earth. The back yard was quite small and backed up to a half dozen pine trees. Really? Pine trees? Bird watching?
