Definition
Scheduling multiple property viewings in rapid succession, typically in the same neighborhood, to maximize efficiency and minimize windshield time. It's speed dating for houses, and just as exhausting.
Example Usage
I've got six batched showings lined up for Sunday afternoon—bring comfortable shoes and your notepad because they'll all blur together by property four.
Origin
Standard practice that emerged with suburban development and automobile-based property viewing in the post-WWII era
Fun Fact
Research shows that buyers can only effectively evaluate 3-4 properties before they start confusing features between homes, despite agents often booking 6+ in a session.
