Have you ever wandered through a model home and admired the furniture? Well you can and for significantly less than buying from a retail furniture store. You can buy model home furniture if you know what you’re doing.

All of the big developers like Pulte, Meritage and Beazer buy attractive furniture for their models to help sell the unit. When the development is completely sold out, they typically auction off the furniture from the model homes. Talk to the sales manager of the development and get an idea when the close out will be and what auction service they will be using.

The auction is normally held in the largest room in the house. A four model development can easily have 200 items up on the block. These auctions are cash only and normally you have two hours to remove the item from the site. The people at the auction determine just what an item is going to go for.

You can save some big bucks on these auctions and it’s a great way to add a new piece for your home on a budget. Smaller furniture makes a small space look larger and it’s a common marketing practice. So you can buy model home furniture and it can actually be fun if you enjoy auctions.
