Open House on the Biggest Shopping Day of the Year???

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Keller Williams Realty
I am planning on doing an open house on Friday after Thanksgiving. With all the people out and about I am thinking it will be a great day for open houses. Hopefully it won't rain here in the Sacramento Valley. Is anyone else planning on holding any open? Do you think it is a good idea?

Hi Don:  Honestly, it could go either way.  I have sold a home during the seventh game of the World Series, and sold a home during the Super Bowl.  With all that traffic... they might stop... or the urge to get to the mall could make you totally invisible.  Let us know how it turns out.  And me... I'll be at home in my recliner with my cat Mollie on my lap.  Good Luck on Friday !

Hmmm... if they do stop it will probably be a serious buyer!  Otherwise, I don't think the looky-lous will bother.  Go for it!  Let us know how it turns out.

Any day is a great day to hold an open house.  Promote the Open House, Present the Open House, and Post Follow-up with the Open House.  "Open Houses Sell Houses".  I just sold one last weekend after only showing the home over a two weekend period.

There are several strategies during the 3 "P's" of Open House.  Check out my blogs for some strategies and web-site www.HomesByOpenHouse.com (click)

Wishing you "The Best of Success"

If I can move after eating all day on Thursday, I do plan to hold an open house...

I think its a great day ... less open house competition and lots of people shopping.

How did you do on Friday?  What did you hold open?  Was it close to the shopping centers?
