Real Estate – Difference Between Home Styles?
By admin. Filed in chicago multi family real estate |Tags: Between, Difference, Estate, Home, Real, Styles
My realtor subscribed me to some automated email subscription that emails me new listings in the area and I am a bit confused with all of the home styles, would be nice if I could quickly tell the difference between them but even research online hasn’t really gotten me anywhere. I’ve listed out all of the ones I’ve seen so far, some of them are obvious to me (family, low-rise, townhouse) but others I have no idea what these styles are (brownstone, cape, garden). Is there some reference guide online that will show me all the different styles? I live in Boston but certainly some or most of these are region independent? Thanks!
