Descriptive Terms in Real Estate Ads ? What Do The
If you are buying or selling a home, the chances are good you struggle with the meaning of descriptive real estate terms. Here?s the first in a series of articles explaining them.
The Wise Seller
Be very truthful if you are a seller advertising your home. Mention your home?s best features, but do not exaggerate. If someone comes to look at your home and feels disappointed, they are not apt to buy. You are probably wasting your time and advertising money if your ads mislead.
The Wise Buyer
Take advertisements with a grain of salt and don?t get too excited until you?ve seen the property. Many sellers do not take the advice given above.
Now let?s examine some of the terms themselves and what they commonly mean.
?Open Floor Plan?
Describes a home in which rooms open out of each other and it?s possible to see from one room to another. Often entertaining rooms (living room, dining room, sun room, entrance foyer) are open to each other, and family living areas (kitchen, breakfast room, family room) are open to each other, while bedrooms have doors and open off a hall in a more traditional way.
?Traditional Floor Plan?
Used to describe a home with rooms opening off a hall or halls. Each room can usually be closed off with a door.
?Split Bedroom Plan?
A term often used to describe a home (usually one level) with the master bedroom on one side of the living areas and the rest of the bedrooms on the opposite side.
?Dormer Window?
A window in an upstairs room that has a slanting ceiling which follows the slope of the roof. The window is in an upright position, but that causes it to stick up above the roof, so it gets its own little roof (usually a gable roof) that is tied into the main roof where they meet at right angles.
If you can get the verbiage down, you?ll be way ahead in the real estate game. Look for future articles on this subject or visit our site to read more terms.

The city's early history was as the site of Addison Mizner's Boca Raton Hotel. The "pink hotel" today is visible from miles away as a towering building on the Intracoastal Waterway. The Pearl City neighborhood of Boca Raton was established to originally house the service personnel for the hotel. Japanese farmers of the Yamato Colony converted the land west of the city into pineapple plantations beginning in 1904. During World War II much of their land was confiscated and used as the site of a major training facility for B-29 bomber crews. Much of the airbase was later donated to become the grounds of Florida Atlantic University, many of whose parking lots are former runways of the airbase, while part of the airbase is now used as Boca Raton Airport. The Japanese heritage of the Yamato Colony survives in the name of Yamato Road (NW 51st Street) just north of the airport and at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens northwest of the city.
