It's raining, it's pouring...
For the second consecutive rainy Sunday, I held an open house for a cozy (okay, small!) bungalow. It was wet, windy and cold. Brrr!
Last Sunday, there was a steady flow of people, some of whom are just beginning to look into buying a home and want to "see what's there." I was hoping this Sunday, there would again be many folks who would come to the open house in spite of the rain.
Knowing that the day would be cold and wet, I brought a tea pot to heat beverages (cider, chocolate and International Coffee) for anyone who would want it.
And come, they did! Some of them even accepted the offer for hot cider and hot chocolate. And when they did, they lingered and asked questions.
Non-stop open house guests
What was surprising is the number of people who braved the nasty weather today to go to open houses.There was a couple who toted their baby (in a covered carrier, of course). Others had notebooks and printouts. We'd like to think that these folks are serious buyers.
Brisk activity in other open houses
Other folks from my office who held open houses today also said they were swamped by the non-stop stream of lookers.
Is this good news? YOU BETCHA!
