Superbowl Sunday Open House? Yay or Nay?

Hi Jeff:

Both...of course!

Same goes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Easter!!!

Jeff, I think Superbowl Sunday is as good a time as any to host an open house.  You could certainly get creative - especially if you are in the vicinity of one of the two competing teams.  I am on floor duty today and hoping that it will be a productive day as well.

I am doing open house today.  The game doesn't start till 5:30 our time, and I am doing 2-4.  Hopefully there will be some serious buyers coming out to visit.

I think I would say go for it!.....many don't watch the game...and in your and mine area it is late enough that many will come early!   

I did one yesterday and had 2 couples through!  Very motivated...one is working with an agent...i contacted her already and the other will be longterm...they can't buy quite yet due to a bankruptcy...but they want to work with me!

I'm not sitting an open today but why not, the game is later.

Hi Jeff, I think both. Suffient time to hold open a property and still enjoy the game.  Serious buyers, unless they committed to a Super Bowl party somewhere are likley anxious to be out there in the market place.

PS, I want to qualify the above answer. What is remarkable with all the marketing hype over the years is that the Super Bowl has come to almost to be considered a national holiday. And so it really is a personal determination to make on how you actually feel about that. If the San Diego Chargers were playing, it might be a tougher call. On the otherhand, they aren't so unless you have a horse in the race or just love the commercials, go for the Open House. Turn on the TV, LOL.

Jeff- lol- I love what William has to say about it being a national holiday of sorts....

A very enterprising agent might put the game on a flatscreen with surround sound and really play up the super bowl open house angle.  Serve food and drinks and get people to sit down and stay awhile...  That said, I am not holding one today, but I wouldn't be against it.

There are some of us who are non-plussed by football. You might get them in as an anti-superbowl party.

No open houses for me today. Gotten to the point where I enjoy my take a break days.

Weather too bad to have open house right now......no problem waiting for the game today.

Jeff there were only two Open Houses today in all of Middlesex County.  I would not think that it would be a good idea to do Open Houses today where you are because of the start time of the game.  But I don't understand why Realtors do not do them here since the game does not start for 3 1/2 hours from the end of the Open House.

Jeff, I did not schedule an open house. I wrote all day - one offer and one new listing. I chose to play real estate...

I'll say Nay. If I do one at all, which I admit is rare, Saturdays tend to do better for me.  So regardless of Super Bowl Sundays are a no for me in general.

yeah Jeff, you can always do one earlier if you have a good hum dinger house, but if not enjoy the day and maybe pick up a lead at a party
