Open House!

It used to be that doing an open house wasn’t that effective for selling a home. A few years ago the numbers showed that less than 0.5% of the houses was sold as result of an open house.

But the market is constantly changing and recently I have been noticing a shift. Buyers go to open houses to look at them without their agents and homes do get sold that way. I am wondering what the current percentage is, I haven’t seen any research from the NAR yet, if it comes out, I will keep you posted.

And this weekend I will do an open house at 7922 Fox Hollow Place in Windsor CA. Great property, it burned down in 1992 and was rebuilt and the owner put about $80,000 in upgrades in the house. This is for sure not a distressed property, if you know someone looking for a home that is ready to go, no worries about maintenance, here it is.

Also this weekend, lot’s of fun at the Francis Coppola winery in Geyserville . Harvest has begun, and they are celebrating with a weekend of winery events. The festivities kick off today  with Festival Vendemmia, our annual Wine Family Harvest Party, and continue on Sunday with an Italian Street Fair (11am-2pm), Kid’s Grape Stomp (12-2pm), and a live performance by BROTHERCAT (4-7pm).

Have a great weekend,
