Best Buyer Tips: Open Houses are NOT the Best Way to Search For Homes

Did you know that just yesterday there were 341 open houses in ALL of Fairfield County? That's not even ten percent of the 4,292 available single family homes!

Yesterday's open houses comprised less than eight percent of all homes listed that were open to the public on Sunday..At that rate, it would take over three MONTHS to see all the houses for sale!

For your own edification, in our immediate area, yesterday's open houses included:
 
 36 open houses in Westport- out of 289 homes for sale, or just  12.45%

 11 open houses in Trumbull out of 159 homes for sale,  or just  6.9%

 27 open houses in Norwalk out of 288 homes for sale ,  or just  9.375%

 58 open houses in Fairfield  out of 426 homes for sale,  or just  13.62%

 9 open houses in Easton out of 80 homes for sale, or just  11.25%
 
So what are open houses good for? Three things.

1. Getting a feel for the market if you are just starting your search.
2. Meeting an agent that you feel would be a good fit to help you in your home search.
3. Meeting an agent to represent you in the sale of your home.

Many homes never have an open house, and one of those homes could be the perfect house for you. When you work with an agent, you won't miss out on that perfect property.

Likewise, if you are looking to meet an agent to represent you in the sale of your home, well...
