Realtors expect this year’s spring home buying season to be a busy one.
To kick it off, Realtors from coast to coast will host thousands of open houses as part of the Realtor Nationwide Open House Weekend April 28-29.
Realtors in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes regions will hold open houses all weekend long, bringing buyers and sellers together.
“This nationwide event offers buyers the chance to visit some of the many homes in their local area while learning more about homeownership,” said Steve Babbitt, president of the Greater Rochester Association of Realtors. “Open houses are also an opportunity for Realtors to connect with consumers in their communities about the housing issues that matter most to them.”
GRAR is informing sellers to hold their home “open” for at least one date this weekend and prepare your properties inside and out (remove clutter, clean, wash your windows, tend the landscaping, etc.). A schedule of open houses is at www.HomeSteadNet.com.
Realtors will be available to answer questions about the home buying process and local market conditions.
Earlier this year, NAR reported housing affordability conditions reached the highest level since record keeping began in 1970.
