Yesterday while returning from my son's soccer game I saw a couple of lonely open house signs on the side of the road. I was wondering how many folks decided to skip the Super Bowl and go to an open house. I am sure those agents got the appreciation of their sellers, but not much else.
A couple of years ago I actually did an open house on Super Bowl Sunday. I must have been out of my mind. I was open from 1pm to 5 pm. Not one visitor until halftime. There were several homes around it that had large Super Bowl parties. At halftime several of the attendees next door came to see my open house. They were not interested in the home; they came to see if I had food.
So for those agents who held their listings open yesterday, you have the respect of the home owners. I hope you brought a book or were able to watch the game.
Randy, Super Bowl Sunday is practically a major holiday now. With the red carpet coverage this year who knows maybe it will be turned into a holiday!

Gary B. have not seen early morning ones here. I did a couple of mid day ones when I had too many listings and ran them back to back. I did not have much luck with them here.
Michael - it is bigger than most holidays in Hawaii. The roads were empty.
Lorrie - I am sure that is consistent with what those few agents working yesterday found.
Gary W. - I should be considered a holiday here.
Linda - The Cowboys schedule should always be on your calendar.
Sundays are generally only good in the morning here - most of our traffic is from vacationers so, they leave on Sunday generally - Saturday is always better here Super Bowl or not
Virginia - Congratulations
The timing for us was that the game started at 1:30pm our time and open houses started at 2pm. Bad plan.
Randy,
I did an open house from 2-4 PM CST and four groups of people came by. It was also cold and rainy. I was surprised by this myself! LOL
