In high demand
Neutral Depends on context
What it really means
Agent language meaning "many people want this property — decide fast". Sometimes true, sometimes pressure tactics to rush you. Never let it push you into paying before viewing or signing a contract you have not read.
Chinese explanation
中介用语，意为"很多人抢这套房——要快点决定"。有时属实，有时只是催促你的销售手段。绝不要因此在看房前付款，或签没读过的合同。
