Condo listing description examples

Condo buyers compare units side by side, so the details that matter are the ones they can't see in the photos: HOA, what it covers, parking, storage and the view from the actual unit.

Examples

High-floor city condo

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the skyline from this 14th-floor, 2-bed, 2-bath condo. The open kitchen has quartz counters, a gas range and a peninsula with seating for four. Both bedrooms are on opposite sides of the living area for privacy, and the primary suite has a walk-in closet and a double vanity. One assigned garage space and a storage unit are included. The HOA covers water, trash, the fitness center and the rooftop terrace. Pets allowed under the building's policy.

Garden-level condo

This ground-floor, 1-bed, 1-bath condo opens straight onto a private 200 sq ft patio with a gate to the courtyard. Updated in 2024 with luxury vinyl plank floors, a new HVAC system and a stackable washer and dryer in the unit. The kitchen has shaker cabinets and stainless appliances. Two reserved parking spaces sit steps from the door. HOA dues include exterior maintenance, landscaping and insurance on common areas.

Examples describe fictional properties.

What to include

Say the floor and which way the windows face. “City views” means little; “14th floor, east-facing” means a lot.
List what the HOA covers. Buyers compare the dues, not the amenities.
Mention parking and storage explicitly. They're the first questions condo buyers ask.
State pet and rental policies as facts, so buyers don't have to email to find out.

Phrases to rethink

Describe the property, not who should live there.

Instead of: “Perfect for young professionals”

Try: “Five-minute walk to the light-rail station”

Instead of: “Ideal for empty nesters”

Try: “Single-level living with elevator access”
