Snow Doesn't Keep Serious Bristow-Gainesville Buyers From Seeing Homes
In general, the Northern Virginia suburbs tend to go into panic mode when there is snow in the forecast. Schools, churches, stores and all that shut down or close early.
Let me tell you that snow does not keep serious Bristow or Gainesville buyers from seeing homes. No sir. Folks who are serious about wanting to buy, look at those snow days as opportunities to get a jump on their panicked competition.
When making showing appointments for Tuesday evening, I got some push back from sellers. Yeah, sure the weatherman predicted it would snow all day and we would had six inches by the time it was all done. Ha! Not even close. I was looking out at perfectly clear streets. I think we got half an inch, maybe an inch if you really wanted to tell a tall tale. Most likely these sellers got their hopes up for a day off from their home being invaded. Too bad.
Personally, I think anyone who has their home on the market for sale should be thrilled whenever anyone wants to come by for a look, whether it's snowy, rainy, dark or cold. It's a good thing when buyers want to see your home. I wouldn't start negotiations over the day they want to see the home. Save that for when an offer comes in.
