<p>I keep on wondering why the realtor sitting on the open house doesn't ever ask me, "Well, if you aren't ready to buy, why the heck are you snooping through somebody else's house?"</p>
<p>I have many answers to that question, but I would like to hear some of yours. And what do you hear from the realtors these days, when you say you aren't ready to buy right now and are having alot of fun watching prices come down?</p>
<p>And what percentage of the open houses that you see are unoccupied? Have you noticed how many of them have no food in the pantry, minimal clothes in the closet, and <strong>NO CLUTTER</strong>? (they are staged) The question I want to ask is, "Why in the world did they buy another property before they sold this one?" And why is it, that half of the sitting agents now say while we are walking out the door, "The sellers are motivated." or some variation?</p>
<p>Did you ever notice that like going for a walk, open houses are free entertainment? I have been to a couple that I think they should have charged to walk through because the decorating was so incredible.</p>
