Have you ever wondered what an FB is? Been menaced by the REIC, but couldn’t find the number for their secret clubhouse in the phone book? Then Housing Doom’s Glossary could be just what you need. You should find a handy link to this file of acronym expansions and jargon definitions in Doom’s list of Resources. Enjoy!
Perhaps the Glossary is a Doom first. We didn’t find anything closer than this jocular effort.[1] We’ve got the RE/MAX Real Estate Glossary listed as a resource for conventional RE terms. More links can be added as we become aware of them.
Twist and I will continue to monitor the discussion below for submissions, corrections, and discussions about the file. You can also e-mail me.
This work is barely started. Tell us about your favorite bit of bubble jargon, and we’ll certainly consider it for inclusion in the Glossary.
