Wait, I should make sure I don't over-bold.
"Required Bold Highlights: Asset/Home Classification, List Price, Fair Market Value, Equity Amount, Key Features, Condition Rating, Ideal Buyer Profile."
I have all of these.
Final check on "SEO version":
"Luxury 3-bed Newport Coast estate in Pelican Point. Features golf course and ocean views, value-add potential, and access to top-rated schools. $9,499,000."

One last look at the prompt's "Scenario A" tone:
"Be analytical, prudent, and numbers-focused. Use terms like 'Asset,' 'Value-Add,' 'ROI.' Avoid 'Cozy' or 'Charming'."
I used "Asset," "Value-Add," "Forced Appreciation," "Acquisition." (Good).
Final check on "Scenario B" tone:
"Be aspiring and welcoming. Use terms like 'Sanctuary,' 'Lifestyle,' 'Move-in Ready.' Avoid 'Asset' or 'Acquisition'."
I used "Sanctuary" at the very end, but the overall tone is analytical. This is a good balance for a $9.5M fixer-upper.
Final check on "Scenario C" tone:
"Balance financial logic with lifestyle benefits."
This is probably the best fit.
