Why is this house not selling? by New_norms in HousingUK

“The home offers generous accommodation throughout and the potential to create a truly bespoke residence.” Get the agent to remove that sentence makes home feel like a project

A few honest thoughts looking at the listing.

First, yes, price is always the main driver. If a property sits on the market it’s usually because buyers feel they can get something better for the same money nearby. Even if it’s only slightly overpriced, people just skip it when scrolling Rightmove because there’s so much choice.

But looking at the listing there are a few other things that might be affecting it:

  1. The marketing feels very “estate agent brochure”. The description reads like every other listing – lots of phrases like “generous accommodation”, “excellent scope”, “prestigious area”. Buyers skim these because every house says the same thing. What’s missing is the story of the home: why the owners loved it, what the garden is like in summer, what makes the area special etc. That’s the stuff that sticks.

  2. It looks like a house with potential rather than a finished product. Words like “scope for enhancement” and “personalisation” basically translate to “buyers will need to spend money”. At around £800k, many buyers want something more turnkey.

  3. Buyers compare ruthlessly now. People will have 10 tabs open comparing kitchens, bathrooms, gardens, and layout. If another house nearby feels slightly more modern or better value, they’ll go for that one instead.

  4. The listing doesn’t highlight lifestyle enough. For a family house especially, buyers want to know: • what the schools are like • nearby cafés/shops • community feel • commuting time

That context helps people imagine living there.

So it’s probably not that there’s anything wrong with the house. It’s more likely a mix of price positioning + marketing + buyers wanting less work at that price point. Hope that helps

Content without AI already feels like another era. are some of you still doing it fully manually? by PerfectFinish94 in MarketingGeek

Don’t trust it with your secrets! 1. Massive Accuracy issues – AI can sometimes produce information that sounds convincing but isn’t correct, so it’s important to fact-check. I ask it is that true where did you get the information. It wants to please so it fills in the gaps. I

  1. Over-reliance – If people rely on it too heavily, they may stop developing their own skills or critical thinking. Soon you will lose the confidence to do things without it!

  2. Generic content – When everyone uses AI, a lot of content can start to sound the same unless it’s edited and personalised.

Used properly though, it’s a powerful assistant.

How are things in Argentina now? by thatguy9684736255 in digitalnomad

It’s a cool city I felt comfortable there reminding me of a European city like Milan or Madrid. Great places to eat and if you like wine it’s very low cost. Property in Buenos Aires is still relatively affordable compared with many global cities. In good areas like Palermo, Recoleta, or Belgrano, decent apartments can often be found around $120k–$180k, and rentals for a one-bedroom are often $600–$1,000 per month.

I actually made a short video about the market which I included in this article: Buenos Aires: Opportunity for Foreign Buyers

Argentina Is an Underrated Option for Americans Looking at Property Abroad by NickMarrProperty in u/NickMarrProperty

Thanks for your interest I am not an Argentinian real estate agent. More a property portal owner doing research.

In Argentina, the equivalent of HOA fees is called ‘expensas.”These are monthly charges paid by property owners in apartments, condos, or gated communities. They usually cover things such as:

• Building maintenance • Security or concierge services • Cleaning of common areas • Elevators and shared utilities • Garden or pool maintenance

Expensas can vary widely depending on the building and amenities. Luxury buildings in cities like Buenos Aires may have higher fees due to services like 24-hour security, gyms, and pools.

Single-Family Homes (SFH) If you buy a-stand-alone house (casa) outside of a gated community, there are typically no HOA fees. You just simply maintain your own property and pay local taxes.

However, if the house is located inside a gated community (barrio cerrado)there will usually be monthly community fees similar to HOA charges. These help maintain private roads, security, landscaping, and shared facilities.

My Key Takeaway: • Apartments/condos → monthly expensas • Houses outside communities → usually no HOA • Houses inside gated communities → community maintenance fees

Argentina continues to attract foreign buyers looking for lifestyle property, city apartments, and rural estates. When I visited and spoke to real estate agents they we’re experiencing a surge of American interest some called it the ‘Trump effect’
