Show Home

From New Homes Wiki

Show homes are used to sell brand new homes. It is important to remember that when you are buying new, you will not get a show home and the housebuilders employ a number of tricks to improve sales.

These include:

• Professional landscaping, which may even be moved to another site when the development is finished. If there are a number of adjacent show homes the fencing between the properties may be removed to make the garden of each appear bigger.
• Interior Design.
  • Show homes are often built to a higher specification that the standard homes.
  • Show homes often feel very bright and airy. This is because the lights will be left on throughout the day and additional lighting is installed.
  • Doors are often removed to make properties appear bigger than they actually are.
  • Mirrors are used extensively, again to make the rooms appear larger.
