One of our regular treats here at MB Towers is to comb the paper's real-estate listings to see which property wins our weekly award for the most earnest or funniest strapline. You know, the eye-catching phrase they put in bold just above the property description.
And, bless us, now we want your contributions from your neck of the woods.
Here are some of our favourites so far. Some, like this gem, are a big one-man brass band trumpeting a house's value:
Te Kuiti
Be-bop-a-lula, I Don't Mean Maybe!
Some give you handy tip-offs as what will happen to your body as you read:
Te Awamutu, $295,000
EYE POPPING VALUE
Others even helpfully suggest what your new domestic routine might be:
Te Awamutu, $167,000
WALK THE KIDS TO SCHOOL
...Then enjoy a quiet morning to yourself at the shops.
Some of our other recent spottings are:
Sense The Urgency
Did you say "Space Please"?
Out of Coffee?
Just a short stroll to the shops and cafes...
And, on a sold property:
You were too Late!
Roll up, roll up, everyone... your spottings, please, right here and right now.
