How to Sell a Home in a Buyer’s Market

If you are looking to sell house fast in New Jersey, you may be up against some challenges, especially if it’s a buyer’s market. A buyers market occurs when there are more homes for sale than buyers looking to purchase. In these cases, supply outweighs demand making it difficult for you to move on.

Fortunately, there are strategies that will help you sell your home quickly. Read on to find out some worthwhile tips.

How to Sell House Fast in New Jersey in a Buyer’s Market

Hire an Experienced Agent:

An experienced agent will be valuable in helping you sell house fast in New Jersey in a buyer’s market. They will recommend updates that will make your home more attractive to buyers. They will find a price point that allows you to sell your home quickly while still making a profit.

Consider FSBO:

FSBO or For Sale By Owner is a good option in a buyer’s market. It eliminates agent fees so you won’t be taking as much of a hit considering you may have to sell at a lower price point.

Offer Buyer Incentives:

There are several buyer incentives you can offer to sweeten the deal. These include:

Add-ons: Add-ons such as window treatment, lawn equipment, grills, a home warranty, and other perks will make your home more sellable.

Play Closing Costs: Offering to cover the buyer’s closing costs will be an attractive option for buyers that don’t have a lot of liquid cash available.

Allow Rent to Own: A rent-to-own agreement involves the buyer paying monthly rent which goes towards an eventual down payment. It opens the door for buyers who are not currently looking to own but may consider that option sometime in the future.

Offer to Pay for Repairs: If an inspection turns up issues, you can make the negotiating process easier by offering to make repairs before closing, or by lowering the price to cover the cost of repairs.

Owner Financing: A seller financing agreement means you accept a larger down payment on the property by assuming the risk of the buyer defaulting. In this situation, you are basically acting as the lender. This can appeal to buyers who want to avoid a high financing fee.

Pay Discount Points: When you pay buyer discount points, you are essentially giving the buyer money so they can lock in their interest at a lower rate than what they would get if they didn’t have those extra funds. One point equals 1% of the sale price and it can lower interest rates by one-eighth to one-quarter of a percent. It’s ideal for borrowers looking to lower their monthly payments and overall interest paid. It also helps people with low credit scores get approved for a mortgage.

Make Repairs

The better your home looks, and the better condition it’s in, the more likely it is to sell. Making repairs before you put your property on the market will make it appealing to owners. You can do everything from small repairs, such as repainting, to large repairs, such as replacing the roof. It all depends on your budget and what’s needed in your home.

Price Competitively

It’s wise to price competitively when selling in a buyer’s market. You may consider pricing your home at or below market value. Talk to an agent to find a price point that will draw in buyers without causing you to lose your profits.

Make an Appealing Listing

It’s important to create a listing that will catch buyers’ attention. Get professional photos that show the home in its best light. Come up with a complete description that advertises your home’s finer points. Add video tours that will give people an accurate idea of what your home is like before they visit.

Work with a ‘We Buy Houses NJ Fast’ Company

While there are things you can do to get your home to sell in a buyers’ market, the process will be slow and frustrating. You can avoid the hassles by working with a ‘we buy houses NJ fast’ company.

These companies are cash buyers that will buy your home in as-is condition. They will eliminate the need for you to make repairs, host open houses and find buyers. In most cases, the entire process will take two weeks or less. And you may even get a better price than you would with a traditional buyer.

A buyer’s market puts sellers at a disadvantage. Fortunately, there are things you can do to increase your odds of making a profit. Offering incentives, creating appealing listings, making repairs, pricing competitively, or working with a cash buyer can boost your chances of success. We wish you the best of luck in achieving a positive outcome.

After 35 yrs. the owner of this fabulous 1877 Victorian in Mantua, NJ is retiring. The florist business and all the inventory comes with it (and there's a LOT- wait'll you see). Plus, the owner's apt. is upstairs. It has 3bds, 2ba. Asking $624,950. (And, I want it so baaaad.) It's also a venue for weddings, and the conservatory is used as a tea room/celebration room.

It's seriously a Victorian store. But, don't you have to learn how to be a florist? Like you have to know how to do floral arrangements, bouquets, corsages, etc. You have to know how to order, where buy from, all that stuff.

I could do the gift stuff, but I don't know about fresh flowers.

I wonder how hard it would be to convert it back- you can see the dining room entrance here.

Wow, too much stuff.

The conservatory has tables and chairs, but in this photo, it looks like it has Valentine roses ready to go.

This is the powder room for the conservatory.

More merch. Wonder what the turnover rate for this stuff is. I mean, you can keep the same stock out, but how can you buy more if you haven't sold any of this? If you rotate it, regular customers will notice.

Then, this is the workroom.

Look at all the sinks.

So, this is the little kitchenette in a corner where they make the tea and stuff for the tea room. And, those are the stairs to the apt.

And, after a long day, you climb the stairs home.

Here we are.

Comfortable living room.

Nice large kitchen. Look at the ceiling. No dishwasher? After being in the store all day, you have to come up here, cook and wash dishes, too?

Nice bath. Very pretty.

The primary bedroom has an alcove.

In the attic, there's storage.

The gardens are absolutely beautiful.

How pretty.

The wedding area.

The name of the business is Lavender & Lace.

How the house looked originally.

finalized - quinn hughes

word count: 1,231

warnings: kissing

pronouns: she/her

You sat at the end of the dock at the Hughes Cabin, your feet dangling off the edge and splashing the water. You had grown up with the hughes, and yeah you maybe kissed them each few times. Like you four all went to high school together and ended up at the same parties every now and then. But Quinn, oh my god the night you kissed him you knew that it would become a ongoing thing. Both of your families had realized you two got closer as you got older and  you started sharing a room with Quinn over the summers when you would go to their cabin for five weeks. You both were 23 now and had your own career paths. You watched the sun set as you reminisced on some old memories from this dock, watching the sunrise and jumping getting pushed into the lake. You couldn't believe that was already about ten years ago when you first kissed Quinn. Suddenly you heard foot steps behind you. “Hey pretty princess.” Jack said, mocking Quinn. “Hi Jack.” You said standing up and hugging him. You got here before anybody else did, you had your own key and since everyone was adults you all drove separately, well except for Luke and Jack. “How've you been?” You asked, smiling and you and him walked back to the house. “Great! Everyone in NJ is amazing, they all love me there.” He winked and you laughed. God how you missed this family.

“Quinn is on his way, he should be here soon.” He said, checking his watch. Just then Luke ran out of the house. “y/n!” He yelled as you smiled. “Congratulations on getting drafted!” You said, hugging him. “Thanks!” He smiled giddily. “God, now im stuck with him for the rest of my life.” Jack rolled his eyes. “So, tell me all about it.” You said as you three walked inside. “So! First me and everyone was sitting in our living room and we waited and waited. Then the devils were up-” He was cut off by Quinn. “Hello family.” He said lifting his sunglasses and setting down his bags. “Hey Quinn.” You smiled, slowly walking up to him. You hugged him and he rubbed your back, you heard Jack and Luke snickered and Quinn flipped them off. “Hows it been?” You said softly. “Wonderful. How've you been?” He asked. “Good, Luke was just telling me all about his draft.” You said walking back over to him and setting your phone down on the couch. “Ill help with your bags.” You said, grabbing his stuff and walking to your room. You set his backpacks down and he wrapped his arms around your waist. “Oh man I missed you.” He said buying his head into your neck. You hummed and held back. “When are we gonna be officially together.” He mumbled. “When you start acting like a man and stop being scared of your family, im pretty sure they have made bets at this point.” You said and he laughed.

“Ive missed you to Quinn.” You said, kissing his nose and heading back downstairs. Your mother walked in along with the Hughes parents, Jim and Ellen. “Hey mom!” You said, hugging her. “y/n how've you been?” Ellen walked over and hugged you as well. You hugged Jim as Quinn headed downstairs. “Ive been good! What have you guys been up too?” You asked. After some catching up and you finally hearing the end of Lukes story, it had passed eleven. Yawning, you stood up. “Well ill see you all tomorrow, im gonna head up and go to bed.” You said heading up the stairs. “Goodnight!” You yelled before shutting your door an getting changed. You heard more talking as you headed into the bathroom and took off your makeup. You heard Quinn say goodnight and head up the stairs. “Quinny!” You yelled as he entered the room, he walked into the bathroom and smiled. He pecked a kiss to your lips. “So when are you moving to Vancouver so we can live together forever?” He asked and you giggled. “Quinn, we all know how that would play out.” You said stepping out of the bathroom and into your room. The room was small, it had a slanted ceiling and a kings size bed. You and Quinn had decorated it with many pictures of you guys when you were younger. You smiled looking at them and crawled into the bed. “Cmon baby, please. I hate how I only get to see you over the summer.” He said, walling back into the room and crawling into bed with you. “So, this is the year.” You said, sitting up. “This is the year we finally get together and I move to Vancouver and you tell your family.” You said, playing with his hair. “Fine.” He whispered and pecked a kiss to your lips as you fell asleep in his arms. 

The next morning you woke up in the same spot you fell asleep in, and Quinn was still there too. You check the time and it was about nine so you shook him awake. “Quinn, wake up.” You whispered as he cracked his eyes open and smiled. “Should we tell them today?” You said and his smiled dropped an he groaned. “Yeah.” He muttered. You laughed as you pushed him out fo bed and crawled out yourself. It was chilly that morning so you put on a University Of Michigan sweatshirt and some sweatpants and headed downstairs. Quinn soon followed and met everyone on the deck. “So, me and y/n have something to tell you all.” He said and you choked on your coffee, you didn't think he'd tell them right away. “what's up sweetie?” His mom asked and yours shot you a look. “We are going to live together, in vancouver. She will move in with me and we will officially be, together.” He said and you smiled, all the heads turning towards you. “Honey? Is this true?” Your mom asked, putting a hand on top of yours. “Yeah, it is.” You said smiling looking up at Quinn who was smiling at you, then you turned to your mother. Her look was shocked but it slowly turned into a smile. Quinn sat down next to you and wrapped his arm around your shoulder. “Jack you owe me fifty dollars.” His mother said, slamming her hand on the table. “Me too.” Luke said, and you laughed. “Don't forget me.” Their father said, chuckling and you all laughed together. 

--

You set the final box down in your new shared apartment. “Its final.” You said, hugging Quinn. “I love you.” He said and you leaned into him. “I love you too, Quinn.” You said, your voice almost a whisper. You looked up to him and he kissed you, a deep passionate kiss that was the first of many. Quinn talked about it nonstop and practice that day, about how you two were official and you'd be given all the personalized sweatshirts and jackets the spouces were given for games. You were brought along to all the charity events, signings, and other events like dinners and stuff. It was all you could've dreamed of, and of course the following year when you two arrived at the cabin for the summer, 

You could finally call yourselves a couple.

I don’t disagree with most of what you said in your last post, and for the most part blame Bang PD and Hybe for everything leading up to where we are now. The only thing I don’t really understand is that it’s been proven that MHJ was trying to make it so that they were more independent from Hybe and thus Hybe would not actually gain from New Jeans success. Ador/MHJ/NJ’s clearly were not on board for bringing in more for Hybe to ease BTS’s burden, so why give them that credit? From what I can tell, if they had it their way BTS would not benefit from them doing well at all. Criticize Hybe as much as you want, and I’ll be there nodding my head, but I can’t get on board with this narrative that excludes Hybe from being a big reason why new jeans is as successful as they are, or that mhj is more than just another self-obsessed millionaire. The disrespect towards BTS that’s been shown through this whole situation by both Hybe and MHJ really shouldn’t be ignored by anyone who has spent any amount of time or brain space supporting them, and I really hope if nothing else the PJMs that have been cheering this on because they rightly hate Hybe remember that Jimin is part of the group that has been disrespected. You don’t need to cape for any of these people, none of them deserve it.

Anon,

Thanks for your message and thanks for being respectful with your criticism of MHJ. As a woman, I've really struggled with the lazy ad-hominem attacks BTS fans have used against MHJ rather than focusing on actual potential wrong doing on her part. Enough with pedo this and shaman that.

Fundamentally, HYBE owns an 80% stake in Ador. Since Ador is not a publicly traded company, there is no mechanism for outside investors to buy stock/invest in the company. There is absolutely no way whatsoever for MHJ to remove Ador from underneath HYBE. And because HYBE owns 80% equity, they receive 80% of Ador's revenue. The only way MHJ/Ador could hurt HYBE would be to intentionally lose money, which they haven't done. What they have done is build a solid product and brand that continues to be noticed and lauded by the media (Forbes, Billboard, etc.), music critics, creatives, and of course, fans. Also, the ROI on NewJeans is really impressive (see my next post).

In terms of wanting to be independent from HYBE, I suspect Bang PD promised Min Hee Jin autonomy at her label. She probably assumed that she could use her creative vision to create her own group and likely didn't expect she would be plagiarized by other labels under the HYBE Labels umbrella. Complaining about your boss sabotaging your success seems pretty legit and normal to me. BTS fans are quick to say she's made these allegations up, but folks, we've already seen this exact playbook after Jimin's success. BigHit "borrowed" Jimin's visual concepts for Jungkook's Seven almost verbatim. But copying his clothes and photography style is nothing compared to the lengths they went to not only reproduce Jimin's #1 on the BB Hot 100, but also to surpass and devalue all of his accomplishments with that crappy song that wasn't even written in house. BigHit/HYBE damaged Jimin's artistry and his brand value. Sorry, but that's unforgiveable in my humble opinion.

I personally don't see how the conflict between MJH and BSH has hurt BTS. If anything, it's galvanized an increasingly fractured fandom around a common enemy. The conflict has benefited RM the most as the fandom sprung into action in order to "protect" BTS from the witch. Simply look at the lackluster response to Hobi's Neuron and Teahyung's Fri(end)s compared to the response to RM's new album and singles. The fandom has obviously been losing momentum the longer the boys are away and now they have a new reason to be reinvigorated.

In the end, I'm happy to agree to disagree. This blog isn't serious. My opinions are my own and of course I could be completely wrong. Also, I'm not ARMY, I'm just a casual fan who is fascinated by both BTS' international success and the devotion of their die-hard fandom. That said, I think Jimin has the potential to be hugely successful as a solo artist and I hope it happens. It's been a strange and sad journey to watch his own company sabotage him in order to protect Bang PD's ego and artificially inflate Scooter Braun's value to the company.

[jerseymuppet]

whats up w ur muppets based religion

Dude. That’s such a loaded question I shouldn’t have put that in my bio. Okay so full disclosure this sounds insane BUT i have so many instances of things occurring like its not even coincidences at this point its something else. I believe people born in New Jersey have abilities. Nothing insane like telekinesis or whatever but like theres something going on there. Examples: my grandmother is really good at guessing things and is never wrong, weird coincidences happen to my mother literally almost everyday, i can say things and then they will happen, my brother who was NOT born in NJ and never has any weird shit happen to him is a loser.

Now, i know this sounds absolutely batshit balls to the wall insane BUT. Stay with me. Okay so last summer, after the eu leg of mcrs tour i agonized over whether or not i should buy a ticket and go (for reasons I’m not going to share lol) so i sat back and said okay! nj band! show me a sign! And lo and behold what i see the very next day

Now this is important to me for one specific reason: kermit specifically is like the modem for my weird abilities. I’ve had this one kermit plush for literally as long as i can remember and it’s been with me through everything and somehow it just became important. So obviously i see this and throw my hands up. Like wtf else was i supposed to do? So i messaged my bestie like ‘mcr 👀👀’ and she was offended i even had to ask.

Weeks pass, the show gets closer and closer, snail (my bestie) is starting to panic, because “what if something goes wrong? What if our tickets don’t work or we can’t get there for some reason or something etc” and I’m like babe. Chill. This is the New Jersey Gay Sex band. You are with Jersey Blood. Everything will go fine, believe in me. But snail is a fucking skeptical bitch so i distracted her by asking what her dream setlist was. i got hers and mine and made them into a playlist.

At the top of her list was house of wolves and at the top of mine was just something new that they hadn’t played yet. We go. They play house of wolves, and my ears ring from how loud snail screams next to me. and. and and and. We got the first smeagles of tour and the live debut of burn bright. Absolutely fucking insane.

but no where near as insane as looking up at the monitor and seeing frank and realizing what was on the amp behind him.

Fun fact: did you know he only brought that thing out on stage twice the whole tour? Anyway.

And then weeks after, my beautiful and true mutual Jack (now trickstump, then Scootbian) reaches out to me, because we went to the same show! And we both love the muppets! And we live very close to each other. What are the odds? Anyway yeah this is just one example of many, many, many. I’m aware I look insane don’t even worry about it.

[soovermyself]

My theory-I think she might be looking to buy a house in upstate NY and Ash buying a house in NJ so she can still be close to her kids. Its still kinda early in their relationship to be getting a house together. Doesn't mean it wont happen down the road though.

Soph already has two houses in LA (the treehouse and the cottage)-three if we add the ranch which isn’t sold yet. I doubt she’d be looking to buy a house upstate alone only to be spending a weekend here and there while Ash buys a house alone in NJ; it doesn’t really make sense. Better to keep the apartment and wait til they’re ready to buy something together then.

What are the Most Common Repairs I Will Need to Make to Sell My House New Jersey?

I’m looking to sell my house New Jersey. What repairs will I need to make? This is a question commonly asked by home sellers.

There are certain things buyers will look for when considering your home. For example, they will want to know if the roof is in good shape. They will also be looking at certain elements of your home structure.

If any of these are not up to their standards, they may walk away from the deal. Knowing what buyers are looking for and getting these taken care of beforehand will increase your chances of getting your home sold quickly. This article will look at these common repairs to ensure your home doesn’t stay on the market too long.

Here are some common repairs home sellers need to make:

Kitchen Appliances

If you are selling your home with appliances, such as a refrigerator, microwave, and stove included, make sure they are in proper working order. Fix leaks and replace parts if necessary.

Cabinets

The cabinets in your kitchen and bathroom should be in good condition. They should be free of water damage and rot. Make sure they open and close smoothly by fixing loose hinges and replacing door knobs and handles.

Water Fixtures

Your water fixtures should not leak. They should not be clogged. Hot and cold knobs should be marked appropriately. All exhaust fans and overflow drains should be in proper working order.

Walls and Ceilings

Your walls and ceilings should not show signs of damage. Repair nail holes, major dings, and dents before showing your home. Painting is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to give a room a fresh, new appearance.

Flooring

Get your flooring in good condition by replacing chipped or cracked floor tiles and refinishing damaged hardwood. Have your carpet steam-cleaned or replaced if necessary.

HVAC

Your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) should be in good working order. It should be clean and free of leaks. Your thermostat should be fully operational.

Water Heater

Your water heater should be in good working order and should not leak. All pipes should be insulated.

Electrical Panels and Circuit Breakers

Your electrical system must be updated to meet current codes. If you have an older system that uses fuse boxes, consider having it replaced as parts for these systems are hard to find. It’s also possible that an older system may be improperly rigged for modern usage.

Roof

Roofs are a major issue in homes as they often have issues like leaks, cracks, bubbles, blisters, and missing tiles. Replace problem spots right away. Fix any damage to the underlayment which is the area underneath the roof shingles or tiles. Make sure your eaves are in good shape and that your drainage system is working properly.

Foundation

It’s essential that your foundation, stem wall, and retaining wall are structurally sound. Have a contractor in to determine if your foundation is stable. An unstable foundation is a major construction issue, but it is fixable.

Exterior

The exterior of your home must be in good shape. Your decks should be structurally sound and should not show signs of termite and water damage. Your landscaping should be well tended to. The fences around your home should not be rotted or water damaged.

Garage Doors

Your garage door should meet all local codes and safety criteria. You may need to replace certain parts before you begin showing your home. It may also be necessary to paint the door or fix dings and dents.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should be in good working order and less than 10 years old. Replace the batteries if necessary.

Opt for Cash Buyers in New Jersey

It’s likely you will have to make several repairs before you sell your home. And these repairs aren’t exactly cheap! They can add up considerably eating into the profits you make off your home sale.

So how can you avoid making these repairs? One option is to work with cash buyers in New Jersey. A cash buyer will purchase your home in as-is condition so you don’t have to address any damage.

Additionally, a cash buyer will allow you to forego hosting open houses and the process of finding a buyer. They will make the process smooth and simple. The entire closing can take as little as 10 days to 2 weeks.

Selling your home is a lot of work. A cash buyer will simplify the process allowing you to forego home repairs entirely. How will you be handling your home sale?

Hi! I wanted to ask your opinion as someone who used to live in New Jersey. I'm thinking of moving my family there. We want to get away because we currently live in a red state with horrific anti-LGBT laws, anti-abortion laws, and shamefully loose gun laws. One of the reasons New Jersey caught my eye as a possibility is that I've heard it has some of the strictest gun laws in the US (which is not saying much, but I'll take what I can get), which sounded very appealing to me. What's your opinion on the state? Is it a good place to raise children? Thank you for any advice or insight you can offer.

I lived in NJ the first twenty-three (ish, with college) years of my life, and have been gone long enough to feel comfortable to say that I lived in Middlesex County in Edison, Woodbridge, and Metuchen.

It's a good place to raise children, if you have money. Having now lived in both the north and the south for substantial amounts of time, I think it's hard for people not from the northeast to conceptualize how fucking expensive it is to live there. There's a reason that every other person you talk to in SC or FL are from NY or NJ -- people can't afford the goddamn property taxes. My wife who is from WV was astonished at how much houses cost, even before factoring in everything else. Seeing a 2-2 go for $500k in my hometown made her want to vomit.

But the money does fund the best public education system in the country. (Cue the joke about NJ's biggest export being college students.) When I graduated high school in 2011, I did so with 33 college credits. I had a genuinely good public school education, especially when compared to what I hear from friends and loved ones who weren't incubated in an ugly McMansion off the Jersey Turnpike.

NJ is also a cultural melting pot. Within 90 minutes of entering the state my body obligates me to order Indian food. Your neighbors are from all different countries and regions of the world. You will hear more languages than you knew existed.

As a child in NJ, I never saw, handled, or shot a gun. There's very little gun culture outside of people who go hunting. That's not to say there's not gun violence -- I was in Menlo Park Mall when this murder-suicide occurred in 2007, ten minutes from my house.

There's also still white supremacy. The Klan actively recruits in areas of South Jersey, was openly recruiting when I was in high school. NJ still has active sundown towns. I'd recommend staying closer to Philly or NYC, if the reason you're moving is to flee a red state with restrictive LGBTQIA and abortion laws. The western part of the state is a lot of rural communities and a lot of farm land and a lot of Trump country.

As with moving anywhere, I'd recommend researching where you're moving to very thoroughly.

It's going to be a big culture shock, especially if you're moving from a state that sees small talk as a requisite for politeness. The traffic will be terrible. All the roads have tolls, you have to buy an EZ Pass. Practice your bagel order before you get to the counter. The biggest sin is wasting someone's time.

I love SC, and want to stay and fight for the town where we currently live, which is about to host it's third annual Pride festival. The schools suck, but my wife and I are never going to agree on a working definition of a "good" school because our experiences with public education are wildly disparate. But I can sympathize with you deeply -- I have a trans son, and every time we reach a new election cycle I wince and wonder if my marriage will be undone for political scorekeeping. I don't understand the love affair with guns. I doubt I ever will. But it's worth fighting for, and right now the cost of staying in the fight isn't too high -- there are people we love in SC who are also staying to roll up their sleeves and refusing to budge.

For now.

But NJ is my home. If I could afford to live there, I would move back in a heartbeat.

Hmmm, you can buy this whole building in Atlantic City, New Jersey for $10.9M. Looks like a not-so-great block, but you get to live in the penthouse and that's kind of cheap for a whole hi-rise. AC can be dicey at night, though. There's got to be a reason why they're selling it. There are 6 floors of office space and the apt. has 5bds, 5ba, and is multi-level. Judging by the parking lot, there aren't many renters. I

The owner's apt. is certainly impressive, though.

This was probably the height of class/wealth in Atlantic City's hey-day.

The home has a name, too- “Casa De Cielo.” We should all name our apts. and homes. When I had a house, I called it "Chateau BeauBeau," b/c my last name begins w/a Bo.

Check out the kitchen. Love the cabinets and handles, plus the quartz counters and backsplashes.

This is some big butler's pantry. Look at the intercom phone- buttons galore for all the rooms.

I have never seen a dining room that seats 30. It's massive.

And, talk about entertaining, this is the bar.

The wine room is separate.

This, believe it or not, is the bar's own kitchen. Wow.

Can you imagine having a room just for family photos?

Apparently, they also have their own post office in this lobby.

Primary bedroom. Are those angled mirrors in the ceiling?

The massive en-suite bath has blue lighting.

The spa.

What a library.

This sitting room has a beautiful inlaid wood corner bar and I love the dogs on the fireplace surround.

What a cool hall. It feels like a loggia.

Even the elevator is decorated like a room.

Look at this fabulous home theater. It's like a dinner theater.

This fountain is so big, I thought it was a pool.

Very large rooftop deck with a big outdoor kitchen.
