Home Sellers Usually Do Not Drastically Exaggerate Their Home Features

Tiny House
Sometimes a home's description is a bit over the top, such as this AI generated description of a very small home that is trying its best to sound amazing...

"Introducing the Ultimate Oasis: a marvel of architectural genius nestled in the heart of tranquility! This exquisite residence redefines opulence in a compact form, boasting an incredibly efficient layout that maximizes every square inch to deliver an unparalleled living experience. Envision yourself in this jewel box of a home, where elegance meets innovation."

Again... most of the time we don't see listings where the description, or photographs or feature list or specs greatly outshine the house itself.

But... occasionally I do run into such a house.

For example, a house advertised as having four bedrooms... but one of them is 8' x 8' without a closet, one is 7' x 8' without a window, and you get to one tiny room by walking through the other tiny room.

Or... a house advertised as having an unfinished basement... which turns out to be a five foot tall crawlspace.

Or... a house advertised as having two full bathrooms... but it's really only full bathroom and two half bathrooms.

Usually some of these not-quite-accurate descriptions can be understood by scrutinizing the photos... but sometimes it requires visiting a house in person to discover that...

Oh, this house is not at all what I thought it was going to be!?!
