Since when was a studio = 1 bedroom??

My gripe of the day: a 1 bedroom apartment is NOT the same as a studio!!

So many studios are turning up in my domain search for a 1 br IP...

eg. http://www.domain.com.au/Public/PropertyDetails.aspx?adid=2007512191&ts=1

I wish the REAs would stop listing studios as having 1 bedroom!!

But a studio sounds so.... L.A.

Don't sell the steak; sell the sizzle.

Just more typical real estate agent BS.

Domain doesn't give the option of listing a property as a studio in the bedroom feild... you have to state a number of bedrooms and cannot put an 's' in this field. So the agent has a choice of putting a 0 or a 1......

you can however choose 'studio' instead of 'apartment' or 'unit' but i think you will find most agents over look this, as they immediately list the property as an apartment or unit....

My point is that I think they should list a studio as having 0 bedrooms. I can understand why REAs wouldn't want to do this though.

Studios are absolutely tiny! (see the link for the floor plan) That studio effectively has 0 bedroom and 0 car spaces... not my kind of investment property..,

If there is a bed in the room does that not mean it is a "bedroom" maybe it does have one bedroom but no lounge room

You are talking like they are 2 different things?
