I checked my written count and I had 21 people in the first hour so Sunday’s total was more like 40 visitors. To have almost 100 people visit an open house this early in the year while raining both days is remarkable!
Have you noticed that the doomers are just speculating that the market is bad, mostly based on the median sales price? Is that all you got? Believe what you hear from the street.
There is a mystery foot in the beginning of the interior tour in this video, and it would be a good time to acknowledge the difference made by my wife Donna.
We knew on Saturday that our client’s purchase offer was accepted, contingent upon this house selling. Between Monday and Thursday night, Donna got the home carpeted, painted, and staged by her favorite vendors – people who regularly drop everything to help her out. It is a testimony to how well she has nurtured her relationships with them over the years, and when she needs a favor, she can get one!
It seems like there are open-house signs on every corner now.
Some may think that it’s a sign of trouble, but recognize that it’s realtor training in progress.
The industry is dominated by realtor teams now. Their leaders send out the trainees to do open house every Saturday and Sunday, even though the chance of selling the open house that day is close to zero.
They do it to pick up new buyer prospects.
Attendees are told that the seller insists that everyone registers their contact information, and they are rather insistent about it. The information is then used by the trainees who call you until you buy or die.
They will also be practicing their closing line, “Do you have any questions?”
If you want to see how they are doing with their training, respond with, “Can I buy this for 10% off?”
Huge turnout for my open house – more than 70 people!
There were four open houses in the neighborhood each day, so the buyers were able to make plenty of comparisons. My guess? The two homes offering the best values will sell this week!
