Name That MLS Status: “C-APPRE”

At Least, the “C” is Easy

Even for a veteran Realtor like myself, it’s still possible to be thrown (at least occasionally) by an obscure real estate term.

Case in point:  the MLS status “C-APPRE,” which popped up in the archive history of a Linden Hills home that my Buyer client is interested in.

On a weekday, I’d simply call the MLS Help Desk, or, check with my Office Manager or a colleague.

No such luck today early Saturday morning.

Strategy #2: figure it out based on context.

So, looking at the listing archive, I saw on the next line “RENTD.”

Eureka!

I’m gonna guess that “C-APPRE” stands for “Contingent, (Rental) Application Received” (top line in photo above).

P.S.:  As opposed to my initial thought — “Contingent on the property appreciating (in the future).”

Wouldn’t THAT status be nice?? 🙂

“Meticulously Maintained,” Deciphered

Not new — but “meticulously maintained.” Real Estate Synonyms — and Antonyms True or false: “Meticulously maintained” means the same thing as “updated.” Give up? The correct answer is “False.” In fact, “meticulously maintained” is almost always Realtor code for not updated. Ditto for synonyms such as “well-loved,” “quaint,” “vintage,” “long-time owner,” etc. (all very nice things, by the way — just not the same as “updated”).

Maybe Trump WASN’T Lying When He Said, “I Alone Can Fix It”

Image
It Depends on What the Definition of “It” Is (and also “Fix”) “Fix “: Pronunciation /fiks/ /fɪks/ (Informal): Influence the outcome of (something, especially a race, contest, or election) by illegal or underhanded means. –Oxford Dictionary. [ Note to Readers : The views expressed here are solely those of Ross Kaplan, and do not represent Edina Realty, Berkshire Hathaway, or any other entity referenced.] When Candidate Donald Trump famously claimed in 2016 that “I alone can fix it” . . . maybe he was actually telling the truth. That is, if by “fix,” he meant “rig,” and if by “it,” he meant that Fall’s Presidential election (and perhaps, this year’s**). Clearly, Mr. Trump didn’t mean the other kind of “fix” — like , what a competent leader does to control a pandemic ravaging the populace and cratering the economy. Or “fix” as in, “safeguard the nation’s democracy from foreign interference and domestic vote suppression.” “Russia, Russia, Russia” At the very least, it’s cle...

“What’s the Highest Point in Hennepin County?”

There sure seems to be some confusion on that, umm . . . point. I’ve now encountered at least three different properties — none close to one another — that all claimed that status in just the last month. For the record, according to Hennepin County’s website, it’s on Williston Road near High Point Road in Minnetonka — 1,131 feet above sea level.
