Consumers really do want honesty in advertising, and they do not like hype that is not founded in reality. Excellent point Brad.

If homes listed as "beautiful" really were beautiful, we shouldn't be surprised that they sold faster and for more money than comparable listings. And we should expect that the ad copy had some correlation with reality. If a potential buyer feels deceived by the ad copy when they show up to see it, that may be the end of their interest right there. The original study might alternatively be interpreted as good advice on what buyers generally want, and what sellers might do or not do to make it that way (for instance, not slapping a new coat of paint on might be a good idea).
