Saturday I held my First open House of the year. Tough conditions had me thinking it would be a slow day. I mean how many people are going to be looking at open houses on a rainy cold Saturday afternoon. Well maybe in my mind it was cols and rainy, or at least in the minds of all the buyers out there. Actually it was 80 degrees, sunny and perfect for an open house, maybe too perfect. Maybe everyone would be out enjoying the beautiful day and not want to stop by an open house. Has my optimism waned so soon? No chance. I am prepared for a mob scene.
At first I thought the mob was taking the day off, so after setting up I got out my paper and began to read. Just then a young couple with their 8 month old comes walking up and then a neighbor and another person runs in and out. Maybe today is the day….. After a long conversation with the family and neighbor I had enough time to get my paper again and take a seat. Then another couple followed by another neighbor and then another person and another and another. 15 groups later it was time to go home, but our young family arrives again…. After a call from my daughter I had to excuse myself and ask if the family had seen enough. We all went our ways 40 minutes later than I expected.
Maybe the inclement weather is changing…..
I passed out an article to those who came by. You may find it interesting http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Banking/HomebuyingGuide/top-5-home-buying-blunders-for-2009.aspx
