"S 53X119X86X129" vs. "553x119x86x129"

Listing Info Typo's

Notice the difference between the two strings of numbers above? (both are lot measurements for a home just listed on MLS).

You would if you saw "553 x 119 x 86 x 129" on MLS, and then looked at the line immediately above it, which says that the home is on a .20 acre lot.

Unh-unh.

There's no way you get a .20 acre lot when one of the lot sides is 553 feet (200' x 200' is slightly less than a full acre).

The .20 acre seemed WAY off, so I jumped to the tax records, where I saw the second string of numbers ("S 53 X 119 X 86 X 129").

Bingo!

The "S" at the beginning got misread as a "5."
