Admin Why do US real estate listings not show floor plans? In there country where I live now they are ALWAYS included.
It would be interesting to know how they are generated in my country, but I don’t know.
Wouldn’t it make sense for the seller to have an appraiser draw up a plan — that would make it easier to sell a home, wouldn’t it? In the country where I live potential buyers would feel very uncomfortable not being able to see the floor plan. Every real estate guide (printed or online) shows the plan for every home, or a survey for a lot.
The answers received so far still leave me confused. It would seem to me that creating the floor plans before each new sale, despite the cost of doing so, would make a sale much easier. So far I am hearing either that it is too expensive, or simply hearing a reconfirmation of the status quo.
There must be some cultural or historical background which led to this status quo in the first place. I still wonder what it is.
