Showhouse uptick

SUBJECT : Showhouses Getting Busier


Most of our agents are reporting a much higher showhouse attendance than was experienced in 2009 or even in 2008, with some properties having as much as 47 potential buyers going through one particular property.

Adrienne Hersch, CEO of ADRIENNE HERSCH PROPERTIES says, “The last two Sundays our agents were inundated with visitors and quite overwhelmed with enquiries, which is a pleasant change to the four or five visitors we had in the past”

Adrienne added, “Our agents found it exhilarating that they had to scramble to get all the names of the visitors, and at the same time dealing with questions from the various interested parties.”


This time of the year is normally the time that people change jobs or children change schools, coupled with the challenges of travelling in the traffic that gets people scouting for something new or closer to work.

It seems as if 2010 started with people feeling definitely more positive about the near future and are prepared to start looking at upgrading or moving to more appropriate housing to suit their needs.

“Buyers are still spoilt for choice, with a lot of homes on the market, but not for too long says Adrienne”. “As soon as there is an equal number of buyers as sellers, we will see a sharp increase in property prices, which we feel will start in the third quarter of 2010.”
