Today is yet another 🥱 Open House for us, so we’ll have to take Hammy and be banished for 3-4 hours.

If I’m MIA, that’s why.

@DrGeof Thanks, but I no longer hold out hope for Open Houses. That’s not where the buyers are.

@GottaLaff

Publicity. I understand many who visit open houses are realty agents.

We had a very difficult sale back in '92(?), and ultimately it was another realtor who visited our open house who found us a buyer.

@DrGeof I agree. The visitors are often neighbors or people who haven’t read up on our house, so are surprised at the price or lack of pool, etc. The realtors are the only real hope.

@GottaLaff

If nothing else, it's a break from packing!

@DrGeof We’ve packed so gradually that we don’t really need breaks. I love doing it, to be honest. It’s soothing. We’re nearly done with the POD already. POD #2 comes next week for the furniture.

I hate having to kill 3+ hours with Hammy. There’s nowhere to go for that long that doesn’t get boring or tiring.

What I’m saying is, I’m so over trying to sell.

@GottaLaff

I understand all too well. After that experience I did not think I would ever buy another house. But watching how rentals have skyrocketed hereabouts, I'm glad I listened to my smarter spouse.

At least Hammy gets a nice long walk!

@DrGeof Buying is so much easier than selling.

Our Canada townhouse lease has upped the rent 2x since we’ve been there, but still doable.

Even Hammy is sick of this.

@GottaLaff @DrGeof Well, it kind of is, it's where buyers meet real estate agents who then show them other houses they actually want to buy.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@darwinwoodka I know, but they can do that w/o an open house. @DrGeof

@GottaLaff @darwinwoodka

This I'm not sure about. For example, when buying a home pics & a description are no substitute for a walk-through.

@DrGeof @darwinwoodka We had brokers' open houses already. They've all been here.

@RiaResists Thanks! TBH, it’s disheartening. No bites.
