I usually have open houses on Sundays. The last 4 weekends have been good as far as turnout. I had 5 people each time. I do not have any transaction from these 20 buyers. But the future looks hopeful. there were 2 who loved the house but have a house to sell. Atleast there are buyers looking. Two are looking to buy in the spring and are willing to be prequalified. Two were neighbors whose house is on the market for sale. One other lady loved the house but does not want to move till June , when the son graduates from school. The others were working with other agents.
I do not know what will happen, but Real estate is a numbers game, and the fact that I could add these people to my data base is great.
If the market is slow, and you have no buyers on a sunday, it is a good idea to host an open house .If you do not have listings , you can host an open house for another agent. But there are some buyers looking to buy.
