Brainless property ads

[hockbeng]

Despite the ppty downturn and with worse to come, ads in the classified for property for sale still don't get straight to the point and peppered with loads of rubbish:

1. WOW!
2. Cheap!Cheap!Cheap!
3. Buy now or regret!
4. Fire sale.
5. Almost sold.
6. Last call.
7. SOLD!
8. For sale: $1.XX mil
9. Priced to sell.
10. 300% guaranteed.
11. Hurry!Hurry!Hurry!
12. Near RGS/MGS (but really miles away)

To all those ppty agents who prowl this forum, plse!plse!plse! All we want to know is:
- name of developement
- size and num of rooms
- asking price (not $1.xx or inflate it by 30% and then write negotiable)

Cut the crap and get to the point.

Is this so difficult?
Doesn't it cost $ to place ads in the papers?

Agree with your observations. Cut the crap and get to the point.

As to this one:

Almost sold.

Then why still not sold?

 

[Conan the Barbarian]

Why is that brainless, there are brand new flats from HDB for $735K in AMK. If thats consider cheap and will be well received, then these ads are really a bargain. Haha.

But the funniest is near MGS, RI, ACS, whatever. It fails to mention that the kids still need to be smart enough to qualify for these schools.

 

[Bigfuck]

Last chance to scam. Need to make last income b4 jobless or have to pay up own house loans.

 

[bodaiman]

Almost sold simply means - agent have to share commission with the buyer's agent. Now that the selling owner has got a buyer; why not fish for a buyer that walks in and gets to keep all the commission ? Now who is brainless

 

[kuntakinte]

What to do if you have BTC ah beng, think singlish, tok singlish, instruct in singlish, and place the ad in singlish with the singlish shitty press holding agent ? That's the end result of a good example of singlish ad !! Super beng and super brainless.

It means your ass very itchy !! Hahahgaga

 

[dysentry]

a perusal of sg-house, gumtree and hdb resale transactions for Oct seem to indicate that COV has dropped to 20k max, still see the odd high selling price for good locations e.g Marine Terrace with sea view.

IMHO, a lot of room to fall further, a 30-yr old 3-rm flat selling for above 300 grand still makes no sense to me, unless owner rents it out.

Maybe the next trick by them will be "free hamper" for any house-sign-up

Brainless ads appeal to brainless people. That's 66.6% of the population.
