Do You Show Homes On Bad Weather Days?

I wish we would have some bad weather we need rain, sleet, snow anything wet!  Yes sir, you bet I'd show homes in bad weather! 

If I can't show home for bad weather; I would only show houses two months of the year. That would be a poor business decision in Washington State... 

Fortunately, for us in Sacramento, it's very rare to have bad weather. It doesn't snow. The rain is often very light when it rains. We have one maybe two hard rainstorms a year. I still hold open houses in the rain because there's nothing else for buyers to do on a rainy day except wander about open houses. :)

Ha! Funny that I'm reading this the day before what's supposed to be another bad snowstorm here -- another 6-10 inches on the way with blowing and drifting. On days like that, it is not worth it to go looking at houses when driving and visibility are so poor. (This is a somewhat rural area.) However, rain and light to moderate snowfalls are a different story.

I am on the side of Peggy with this one ... being in Denver ... no sense in getting out into a snow storm to show a home.  I believe the client does not need to get out in the bad weather, either. 

Paul,

I'm fine with showing houses in most weather conditions, as long as it's safe.

Paul,

Well, in Naples FL, the temperature plummets to 70 and we are good to go on open houses.  They cannot go to the beach and we absolutely salivate when we have rain or cool weather.  But a snowstorm, nah!

My limit is don't show homes when the weather dips to 75 . . . . just kidding.

Good luck and success.

If I can do it safely and my client really wants to see it then...YES!

Hi Gary,

I think common sense must prevail.  I prefer to show a home after the storm rather than during the storm.  For example with rain, afterwards you get to see where the water is standing.
