I don't hold open houses at any time, but I surely wouldn't on a long, holiday weekend. I'm doing a bit of work, but also relaxing. If you have a hot market and a home that will sell fast, why even worry about an open house?

I'm actually doing an Open House.  I have a Seller who desperately need me to get it SOLD and we are very challenged by her location.  So far 8 out of 10 scheduled showings have just "not shown up" so I decided I would try and Open House this Sunday and I am PRAYING that someone in the area that is currently renting will be curious enough to stop in and then I can show them how they can be the OWNER of this beautiful home.  I have a Lender coming with me to the Open House ... so we are armed and ready!

IF it makes sense..do it. Just keep in mind, all the parks will be at full capacity. Try to make that work. "If you lived here you could WALK to the park!"

Thank you all for stopping by. Here's an update.

We held the open house today on a well priced, beautiful property that is newly listed. Only 4 people came through which is great for 5 years ago but pretty slow for 2016.

This is a big beach weekend here and while an OH may get traffic, it may be more lookers than serious, qualified buyers. Since you are in a hot market and don't expect your new listing to last long, I would not hold OH. Maybe a broker open on Tuesday instead?

There are two thoughts - you get many visitors who might fall in love and want to buy OR you get many curious tourists who might stop in just to have a look and never come back. In my experience, it's been mostly the latter. Enjoy the week-end!

Sounds like you may have a lot of vacationers there.  Could be good to hold an open house in case anyone likes their vacation so much they don't want to go back to reality.
