I am still laughing at what I just read. It is hilarious. It is a report put out by the NAEBA (National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents). The report is titled 2008 Report on Home Buying Euphemisms and Lingo. It is great. It is funny. You have to read the report. CLick on the report title for the link.
The report makes fun of many of the terms we agents use in our MLS listings. Of course after I finished laughing I went and checked all of my listings to make sure I hadn't used any of those terms. When I finish the process I may let you know how I fared.
Here is another list I found. This one was put out by The We Buy Ugly Houses people. The list is the Top Ten Cities for Real Estate Investing, 2nd Quarter 2008. Here is the list:

They also had a list for the 1st Quarter, 2008. Here it is:

I could really get involved with this list and report stuff. Some of it is pretty funny. Alas I need to go back to work. Time to see if I can salvage the deal I am currently negotiating. I could make a long list on this deal alone.....starting with a to high asking price and a to low offer!!

Hi Ron~ I don't care who you are -- that's funny! Thanks for sharing this one. I have to admit though, I've had a few of those terms in my listings along the way. Happy Blogging.
