OPEN HOUSES A BUST!



Good Morning!!

It's another fabulous day in the Inland Empire!

My Open Houses this weekend were a total bust! The more I thought about it and even my Seller on one of them, told me that her son told her, "Mom, if my wife asked me to go out and look @ Open Houses today, IT'S TOO HOT!!"

Of course, I left the air conditioners on @ both, but I was lucky to get 2-4 people total per Open House ~ had one on Saturday, then another home on Sunday.....That just doesn't cut it for me.

I remain hopeful that "Open Houses" will work somehow this Summer in the heat!

You'll probably notice that there are a ton of Open Houses now, too....

.....Just spoke with my wonderful Manager, Jesse, and he said, that because homes are sitting around on the market a longer time right now, that they are being held "Open" to hopefully 'capture' (not his wording but mine here) that buyer!

....so MORE OPEN HOUSES??? Probably....we shall see.

REASONS WHY THEY ARE NOT SELLING:

From Hurricane Katrina and the other disasters we've had recently
The War
Interest Rates Rising
The past 2 years homes have been overpriced, but because of the shortage of inventory it drove property values higher.
The market is currently getting "re~adjusted".

Hope you have a great Monday!!
(and that your weekend was nice!)
