Denise --- from as early as I can remember, the rain hasn't dampened the spirits of those who are serious buyers. When I think back on the folks I've helped, we have sloshed through puddles and endured freezing rain to look at houses. But they didn't care.

Pat --- maybe when the weather is nice, they find other things to do.

Kathy --- we had quite a few. Probably 20 or so groups came through today.

Angelia --- could it be that I promote the heck out of my listings via craigslist, zillow, trulia?

Michael --- I'm a believer in open houses. 15% of my escrows last year was due to contacts I made thorugh open houses.

Antonio --- thanks. I did get a least one possible buyer to whom I have sent information on another property that may meet their needs. See you tomorrow!

Lori --- I remember that when I had a pot of cider on the stove, it emitted a fabulous aroma especially in the fall. Another good one is to have hazelnut coffee brewing. Smells heavenly!

Teri --- real estate truly is local.

Just a few miles away are some cities that don't get the same kind of traffic we do. Alameda is not quite as expensive as San Francisco or Marin County who will consider the homes here "more affordable". But our neighbor cities consider Alameda as "expensive".

Wait until the rains stop ---- 4 more days. And then we'll be back to blue skies and 60-70 degree weather that we're more used to.

Toula, glad to hear it. If they're out in inclement weather, they're serious lookers.
