What do you use your listing name/title for, and how often do you change it?

I think the correct place to put it if you have a house old enough that it might matter to someone who has never spent much time in a building over 20 or 30 years old: In the long description. After you’ve already hooked me into reading more and shown it to be a good looking, well-maintained place in the pics.

If it’s up front in the title or short description, I think “needs work, take it or leave it” is what the owner is signaling. JMO
