What drives me nuts - and some realtors are amongst the offenders - is the way some people pronounce it re-la-tors, because they simply can't say realtors.
Acreage is referred to often in this part of the world. As in "do you live on acreage".

"Realtor" is another term I never hear or see outside of this board.

Re: kindness of strangers
Although batty opines, it might mean "do you live on a piece of land of arbitrary dimensions in excess of 0.4046 hectares".
As I said; pretty useless expression IMHO.

Re: kindness of strangers
I know it's an advertising term and like "acerage" one can find uses of the term if one searches the internet. I just haven't come across these words outside of this site despite being quite recently involved in a transaction involving multiple agents and multiple acres.
