How About a Twilight Open House this Fall?

Weekday twilight open houses are a very good alternative or addition to traditional weekend open houses. As we all know, a home in the evening with its lights on casts gentle light and always makes the home look more inviting. Also, families have hectic routines, and carving out 2 hours on the weekend to preview homes becomes even more difficult with baseball, soccer, football schedules and the holidays.

Refreshments aren’t critical, but if you send invitations to the neighborhood and offer snacks as an inducement, you are more likely to have a great turnout. If you offer wine, be sure to make it a white wine in case of any spills. (Serving alcohol could pose liability issues for the seller or yourself, so check with your local association first.)

Here are some advantages to a weekday twilight open house:

• They are especially great for homes with terrific views.
• They are convenient for many young professionals or empty-nesters who may prefer a week night over a weekend.
• Your open house may stand out amidst all of the weekend open houses.
• Some sellers find this more convenient. They may prefer to make themselves scarce for a few hours having dinner in town than give up a sacred weekend afternoon.
