Have a weeknight  open house

Warmer nights and longer days encourage people to stay out longer. Once you decide to sell your home, consider a weeknight open house! A weeknight open house occurs between 4 and 8 p.m. and is worth considering to reach buyers from a different angle.

Advantages

• Sellers and buyers like evenings. Many sellers find a weeknight showing is less disruptive to their schedule than a weekend open house. It’s also easy for buyers to stop by after work.
• You have less competition. Most people show their homes during the weekend. Weeknight open houses attract more serious buyers and fewer looky-loos.
• They stand out. A weeknight open house may attract more potential buyers because they’re uncommon.

Tips

• Highlight the night. Weeknight open houses can focus on features often overlooked during the day, like backyard lighting or an amazing view of the city.
• Use brighter signs. Use backlit or lighted signs for a festive touch.
• Provide refreshments. Serve some snacks and drinks to keep it simple and light. When you go for a more luxurious feel to the event, send out invitations or hire a caterer.
