Email info requests were up 28% at 9,500, but phone number requests dropped 8% to 65,000.
This significant growth needs to be compared to the fact that last year, just 23,000 village homes were available for sale. This equates to the number of people who search villages.com.au in just one week.
We calculate this on 10% turnover of existing stock plus new village home builds of around 3,000 units.
Demand does exceed supply. Village operators should be enjoying equally significant sales, especially if you have a Promotional Listing on villages.com.au – an investment of just $1,000 for 12 months. Email us if you want more information.
