When NOT to hold an Open House

If your property is fresh in the market, an open house can be very important. You never know whom in your neighbourhood is looking to buy a home like yours.
There has been some instances where the actual buyer came from a Open House visit. Although this isn’t always the case.

In fact, most visitors who come to open houses rarely buy the house. A lot of them don’t even know the price of your home when they stop by to visit; they probably just followed an “Open House” sign, got curious and came in. It will be the agent’s job to quickly screen the visitors and to identify them as “Potential buyers” or “Lookers”. (Your listing agent should know how to do that)
