Dear Estate Agent,

House hunting is hard. Being first time buyers is hard. Trawling through property websites and estate agents' lists for something suitable is boring and hard.

You are not helping.

No love,

Me

The reason for this letter? I was doing one of my regular hunts for property websites that aren't Rightmove and stumbled across some interesting things. There were the usual houses in terrible areas, and terrible houses in good areas. All fine and dandy, you might think.

Under the cut is what one agent is selling for £120,000 as a bungalow.





I KID YOU NOT. Click the picture for the full details.

SRSLY. IDEK.

The Wikipedia article did surprise me with all of its examples of US bungalows! I would never have thought of them as that -- they're *houses*. *g* My only thought was that it's a term that used mainly in the East or possibly anywhere outside the "middle," or it has fallen out of use only in the past few decades (which would explain why it was in my mother's childhood copy of Nancy Drew). But actually, if it's a design term, that would make a lot of sense -- I don't read design and architectural literature, and if it's not used in ordinary conversation or in real estate circles, I wouldn't have heard it.

Thank you!
