This afternoon I spent some time going to open houses and was very surprised to see that all of them were busy, really busy, verging on crowded. I’m serious. I do this at least a couple of times a month, to see houses I haven’t seen and to keep my finger on the pulse of what’s going on.
And in the last 3 or 4 months all the open houses I stopped at were pretty slow. Slow enough that I could sit and have a leisurely chat with the open house agent. And that was nice. But today they were so busy I could hardly get a word in.
Then again, last Sunday was Valentine’s Day, so, hmm, who knows, and the Sunday before was Super Bowl, a definite open house killer. So maybe this is just pent-up demand, you know, open house withdrawal finally being satisfied. Or could it be the season is finally kicking into high gear.
Did anyone attend an open house today?
