Opt: An overpriced turkey, usually an overimproved house in a so-so neighborhood.
La vista tanque farme : A property with soaring, panoramic views of largely industrial areas.
Pinata : A home painted with gaudy colors.
Gilded Turnip: A home of poor-quality construction with or without a bad add-on or remodel, that the owners have tried to dress up with fancy fixtures and expensive marble or granite touches.
Hankie holder: A listing by a seller who is going through great personal trauma, requiring the agent to provide immense emotional and professional support.
Garden carpet: Carpet so dirty it could grow vegetables.
