The weather in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was absolutely gorgeous yesterday.  It was a perfect day for showing homes.  In an earlier post this week, an Active Rain member told of an experience with a prospective buyer where they were showing this buyer a home on a rainy, cloudy day.  The buyer did not like the property at all.

Interestingly enough, several weeks later these same buyers wanted to see this home again (they had forgotten about seeing it), and it was a sunny day.  The agent wrote a contract on the home with these buyers!

Well, I could absolutely tell a difference in my showings yesterday, as the temperature in Tuscaloosa was in the upper 70s and the sky was a gorgeous blue.  Now it doesn't hurt that I was showing my clients homes above $500,000!

We've had rain for a while here, which was needed, but it sure is nice to be in the real estate business in weather like this.

Todd, great title for your post!  I've often said that many buyers don't have the imagination to see past a carpet color that they don't like.  I guess some can't see past the current weather, either.

Todd, sunshine makes everyone feel better, and apparently write offers!  I may only show homes on sunny days, but of course I live in Michigan so I would have to find something else to do for six months of the year! :-)  Nice post Todd.

Aww, Ann, I knew someone would have to ruin it. :)

 Gary, that's too true.

The crazy weather here in cool Britannia is going to really shake up the property market IMO, don't know if you're aware of the flooding we're experiencing but good luck to any agent trying to sell any basement flats round here! 

I'm glad you have sunshine...say hello to it from me! I'm finding it hard to believe it's July....ho hum.
