Open houses?  Traffic?  Not in the northwest distant suburbs.  I hold four opens per weekend. If I see a live person, I am lucky.  And, they are not usually buyers these days.  But, I have a bunch of buyers....from where? The web and AR.   I still do opens on the off chance that I can sell the property I am in, however.  And, we do everything we can to sell our listings.

Here in the Seacoast area of New Hampshire the open house attendance, from what I've heard, is pretty low.  They are usually only held in the first place because sellers think they are helpful.
