Apartment (Renting)
Did you know? House prices and the language around them vary enormously around the English-speaking world. In the UK, properties are often described by the number of bedrooms; in the US, both bedrooms and bathrooms are specified (e.g. "a 3-bed, 2-bath"). The British say estate agent for the professional who helps buy and sell homes; Americans say realtor or real estate agent.

The concept of a fixer-upper — a property that needs significant repair or renovation before it is comfortable to live in — is particularly common in North American real estate culture, where buying and renovating homes for profit (known as house flipping) has become a popular investment strategy.
