It’s bizarre to me that people would even read descriptions in listings when looking for homes when you can see a map with all available homes and filter for exactly what you want.
A house purchase is a massive decision, why wouldn’t you read everything and anything you can find about the house, what are you even talking about lol
Before comprehensive maps, street view, high definition video and pictures, etc, one might have had to read what a seller or their agent says.
But now, I might only read a description after a given property meets my location/size/age/etc criteria, but I assume I need to verify whatever information the seller is providing.
