2nd Open House

Had my second open house on Sunday. 5 couples came through - they all liked the house, no takers, though. Seems only one comment on the house being too small. Encouraging - people are starting to shop now.
More snow scheduled - 6-12 inches tonight. That's always good for showings.....

I have decided on no more 2 bedroom homes for flips. Unless the square footage is enough so that a 3rd can be added.

weather finally clearing up.

Well, the ice is melting. Looking to hold another open house this weekend. No snow in the forecast - so maybe things will look up. Nothing has gone under contract in my price range in the last 2 weeks. At least I feel better in some respects because it's not just my house! LOL!

I had my eye on another property, but that got snapped up already - thought that might happen.

Challening market

Well, the open house had only one couple come through. They said the bedrooms were too small. They are larger than most, so that comment surprised me a bit. The snow didn't help that day, either.

And again - about 10 inches of snow expected tonight. This really puts a damper on showings, don't blame people for not wanting to go out! After 3 months, I might try a lease option on the property, or just rent it out.

Open house this weekend

Having my first open house this weekend. Not too much activity in the market right now. I don't know if the crappy weather has been keeping people away or what. Lots of rain and slushy stuff, then a few inches of snow today. Sigh.....

I think I have found my next house - so I really, really want this one to sell now!!
