Display homes Geelong

Understanding the differences between a display home and a display village

Sometimes the jargon within the new home-building industry can be a little confusing, so let’s start at the very beginning. A display home village such as those in Geelong, consists of multiple display homes built by a number of different builders within the same estate. A display home is a single house built within this specific display village or estate. A display village offers customers the opportunity to compare, contrast and walk through a variety of display homes from different builders including design, size and style. It is an easy way to get a good sense of who you may like to build with, and what type of home you may require.

Is there anything I need to bring when I visit a display village?

It’s important that you bring a copy of documents that outline the size of your block. This will make it easier for us to understand whether the home you’re visiting will fit on your block of land. Additionally, when visiting our Melbourne homes on display, think about the things you’d like to remember or record from your display home visit. Our recommendation is to bring a notebook and pen to take notes when you walk through our display homes or when you’re chatting with our sales team. You can also bring along a list of questions—our team is always ready to help!

Are there certain questions I should ask when visiting a display home?

After visiting one of our display homes in Geelong, it’s best to sit with a member of our sales team and ask as many questions as you’d like. A good place to start is the neighbourhood and community amenities to get an understanding of the estate that you may want to build. When it comes to the home, consider any questions you have about the floorplan including the level of inclusions, whether you can make any changes or include any customisation options, the energy efficiency of the home, the build process, warranty periods and service you can expect from the Carlisle team. Our team are here to guide you on your path to new home ownership every step of the way.
