The chart shows how many appointments are made to see homes throughout the metro area. Activity really increases this time of year. The weather kind of slowed things down in January and February of 2014 and that shows up on the chart.
One reason the number of showings go up in the spring is because there are usually more homes on the market for buyers to visit.
If you have a home and no one is coming to look at it that is a clear sign that something is wrong. Either your home isn’t being marketed and advertised or it is priced too high.
Sometimes a home will get a lot of showings but no offers. That usually means that the price is too high or maybe the house needs a little work and that is scaring buyers away. Generally sellers who are interested in selling will need to change something in order to get an offer.
After about 10 showings with no offers I like to do an analysis of other homes on the market in the area. Have similar homes gotten offers recently?
What are the people who are looking at your house saying about it? Is there something in the feedback that really stands out?
