Under contract:11523 Mack in Maryland Heights

This is an excellent finale to my day of Sunday Open House fun...

#11523 Mack Avenue in Maryland Heights is officially under contract. A warm congratulations to the Brenners, who are scheduled to close in June!

Under Contract: 740 Jares Ct. - Ballwin

Only 6 days on market and Jares Ct. is officially...

...SOLD and scheduled to close during the last week of June!

Congrats Patsy!

Despite it being a super hot holiday weekend, 20+ groups visited the 1st open house, resulting in multiple interest.  Further proof that...

1)  In this strong Buyer's market, if a property is prepared for sale and PRICED CORRECTLY (the true key), it can and will sell quickly.

2)  Despite most agents' disdain for them, Open House can WORK with proper advertising, directional signage, and timing in conjunction to when a property hits the market IF the property is priced correctly from the get-go.   Back in 2004-2008, the days of the super swift Seller's market, perhaps not as effective.  In today's highly saturated Buyer's market, however, an Open House dramatically increases immediate exposure and as a result urgency if the property shows well. 

NOTE: This is the 3rd listing of mine over the past few months that has sold as the direct result of one of my Open Houses.  They work people.

Great property with a lot of special updates.  Super lucky Buyer!  Congrats again Patsy... =)

Buyer Tip...

In my opinion, the #1 first step to beginning a house hunt, after getting pre approved by a lender to determine your price range, is hitting Open Houses. Period. It is the ideal way to begin the narrowing process, as it allows you to gauge prices and amenities in the neighborhoods of your choice rather quickly and on your own time. Most Buyers find it to be the most effective way to narrow down what part of town they want to focus on with their Realtor.

Other people, like me prior to getting my license, just like peeking their heads into properties from time to time out of sheer curiosity. It is a GREAT way to get renovation/decorating ideas. It is also a fantastic way to determine the value of your own home, by attending your neighborhood Open Houses.

So, what is the best way to locate and map out local St. Louis Open Houses?

My company (and the largest brokerage in town), Coldwell Banker Gundaker, has created an excellent online search engine for weekly Open Houses. Long gone are the days of antiquated Sunday paper ads. Now the bulk of area Open Houses are at your finger tips, searchable by county and then school district. Click HERE to begin and happy hunting!
