Top 5 Pro Tips for Display Homes and Pre-Sales

by | Feb 3, 2024

Use these top tips for display homes and pre-sales to make sure buying your newly built home is your dream home. As you stroll through the gorgeous display suites, it’s important to keep in mind a few things to avoid surprises on a moving day.

Here’s what to watch out for in your next visit to any display homes and pre-sales:

  1. Interior doors may be removed in display homes to create more space and improve the guest traffic flow. You’ll need to consider how the doors will affect each room.
  2. Keep your eyes out for any “display only” stickers. Common decor items are things like built-in wall units, designer fixtures and chandeliers.
  3. Furniture in the display home may be custom and non-standard sized to create an amazing look and feel. Take measurements and photos to recreate the same designer look.
  4. Appliance packages might not include the washer and dryer, or there may be a tiered option for higher-end appliances with additional changes.
  5. Venting in the kitchen and laundry area of the display home may not be fully functioning. Look at where the venting might go. Will it block any cupboards or storage spaces?

You may not get a chance to see your new home in real life until the day you move in. Pay special attention to measurements and details.

I hope you’ve found these tips for display homes and pre-sales helpful. If you’re considering a new build, reach out anytime. I don’t just do resale properties; I’m here to help with your newly built home and presale needs, too!
