There is no “check box” apparently when submitting to an MLS so hints are often supplied in the description. But what are the searchable phrases? I have a relative who is willing to buy in multiple locations and even have guest/storage bedrooms upstairs as long as most of the person’s life can be spent on the main floor. But there are so many ways to describe this. What would be the most common terms?

And agreed, a one story would be a better deal but they are not that abundant, and, most sites don’t provide this info in a way that aggregate sites pick it up.

Primary down
En-suite bedroom down/first

we have a 1.5 story house with a master bedroom(with attached baths) on both floor. The upstairs one is significantly larger.

"Single story" is probably one of the most desired traits for homes, now.

As the buying population grows older, this is only going to gain importance...

Every house I've bought, has been just this...

For a few years we had "Master on 1st floor".
Now we've been advised to use "Primary bedroom"
