Sellers expect real buyers to come for showings, not dozens of people "just kicking tires".
They are shown new homes to familiarize preview stay people and those just browsing, with the varying floorpans and pricing levels. New homes are empty and a homeowner-seller is not being led to believe these are people ready to buy.

Excellent point. I was there last week and I told the sales person that I need to do more homework before putting anyone out esp. since I won't be buying til next year. Like every thing in life there are good and bad people. Sales of TV are no exception obviously.
