LUXURIOUS & LUXURY the MOST overused word in real estate around the world. As soon as I see the word luxury pertaining to property you’ve lost my attention. Can we agents get a little more creative with our marketing blurb!!

Whilst sitting on my kayak this morning on holiday in Gili Gede (get yourselves Kokomo Gili Gede if not yet been before), I challenged my friend to finding ten alternative words to luxurious aka my most hated word in the dictionary!

  • Elegant – Generic but passes the test
  • Lavish – NO. sounds too 80s
  • Sumptuous – not ideal sounds like voluptuous to me. “This sumptuous villa is voluptuous in space….” Comedy factor at least.
  • Plush – sounds common as muck
  • High end – generic and dull.
  • Upscale – meh
  • Glamourous – trailer trash connotations
  • Exclusive – elitist and exclusive to who anyway??
  • And we couldnt find anymore… but that was our morning fun!
