Open Houses, Do They Work?

Why do we hate the open house? If you ask many Realtors they will say "an open house does not work. I have never sold a house through an open house" is a very common response. The interesting paradigm though is that is not the question asked. The question asked is does an open house help sell homes? An trend we have started to see is when we run an open house we see a spike in showing activity the following week. Why?

Here is what we think is happening. In today's world of technology, and if we do a good job of pushing our open house through multiple channels, such as having an open house page on your web site Boulder CO Open Houses, posting in our MLS and the Paper, Buyers are finding the homes on their own. The Buyer than comes to preview the home on their own to get a feel of the home prior to calling their agent. If they like the home they will call their agent to show it to them the following week and advise them on the property. The way we as an organization tend to track sales this will post as another agent selling the house. In reality the open house facilitated the sale.

As the delivery of information increase, the answer open houses do not work may not be truly in the Sellers best interest. In the future as, the true answer may be, "Mrs. seller we will want to do a very loud splash when we come on the market and have several open house to allow prospective Buyers to preview the home prior to bringing their agent. If they do not have another agent we will be happy to help them."

As technology changes our perspective on the Open House and the roll it plays may need to evolve and change to meet the times.

Words to Live by...

WE SHALL OVERCOME
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome some day;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome some day.

The Lord will see us through,
The Lord will see us through,
The Lord will see us through some day;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
The Lord will see us through some day.

We'll walk hand in hand,
We'll walk hand in hand,
We'll walk hand in hand some day;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We'll walk hand in hand some day.

We are not afraid,
We are not afraid,
We are not afraid, today;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We are not afraid today.

The truth shall make us free,
The truth shall make us free,
The truth shall make us free someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
The truth shall make us free some day.

We shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace some day;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall live in peace some day.


All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others?

The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

All The Best,
