I don't think any day is a good day for an Open House. 

We sure hope so, because we will be holding one!

Charles -- since I don't do open houses in general, I don't think any day is all that good a day for an open house. But on Mother's Day--absolutely not.

I saw quite a few posts this week stating they were having open houses, and thought that was a bit odd.    Here in Denver we got 9.5" of snow last night, so pretty sure no open houses will be held today here! 

Ask your Mom 

I have to agree with John McCormack, I've experienced that open houses are a waste of time without a dedicated system for capturing leads. A time with family, hobbies or even just good book & a hammock are more productive ways to spend Sunday. I treat Sundays as my regular day off to recharge with family...every Sunday. 

Charles,

Depends on your marketplace.  Wishing you a delightful Sunday!

It depends on the area.... but I would not do one on Mother's Day.

Charles, no I do not.  Great day to spend with family.

I think so.  Mother might like a new house.

No if you are a Mother.

Or have not yet honored your Mother.

Would it not be exceptional to honor those Mother's who do enter?

Had an OH on Mother's Day. One couple and two neighbors showed up. This is much less activity than normal for this property. However, I did get a good lead from one of the neighbors.

Those who are out looking at open houses on Mother’s Day or any other holiday are serious buyers. They are the people that you want to meet at an open house. Buying a house is a priority for them.

Mother's Day was yesterday and that was the furthest thing on my mind and quite frankly every other mom I knew

Yes - What better gift to give a mom than a new house! And I have sold my listings from working on Mother's Day

I'm an open house believer, having sold many of my listings as a result of our efforts as well as gaining new business that way, but I try to avoid it.  I did one 2 years ago on Mothers day and had an extrodinary turnout, but we're not doing it this year.  My listings are all under contract, or we'd consider it. 

It would make a great Mother's Day present for some Mom.  So, go for it.

No, there is more to life than showing houses. 

yes, we had one for an hour....had activity....

Charles Ross No, not really.

I have done them in the past on Mothers Day as there are many people not moms that would like to look at homes on Mothers Day. In fact even mothers like to look at houses.

No I think you get just lookers who are in the area not real buyers

Mothers day is a day to be with families

The answer will depend on the market. It is a perfect day to select a new home for your mother.

No. Having done open houeses on holidays, I find it was very slow.

I am not a fan of open houses.  If I were, today would not be a day I would hold an open house.  Today I am honoring myself with my son.

Hi Charles -- I've done it before and they have been good.  It depends on the agent and the seller.  

Because I do not hold an open house I'll let others advise you...  Just never worked for me and I've held my share of them

I guess if you do not have a mother to celebrate with. But it would be nice to have something there for the mothers that come by.

Not if you are a mpther or should be spending the day with your mother
