Sunday Open Houses
The first thing this morning I looked on line for Sunday Open Houses. I used to look at the Sunday paper to see who was doing what, but that is a dead media for Real Estate. I found Stephanie Moe’s www.SeattlesHomes.com the easiest and most concise list of Open Houses.
Now the chances of you finding a home to buy by visiting Sunday Open Houses is slim. You finding an agent to work with gets a little better. Ultimately the exercises is for you to see homes. Seeing homes is an important step in knowing what to look for. Look beyond the staging and stay away from talkative agents, but if an agent answers questions, knows the property, and the district, pay attention to that, and make a mental note.
Look at construction, on your own. Get familiar with the process of walking through a home. Discover what your hot buttons are by repetition. Now that the Real Estate market has cooled, take some time to get a “feeling” about what you want. The Sunday Open House is a great way to do that.
