Should I Cancel an Open House due to Bad Weather?

In bad weather, you should probably expect to see less people come by to view an open house. Depending on the weather you might not see anyone. Does this mean you should cancel the open house you had planned? No way.

Last winter, Devon and Nick McConnell were holding an open house for the one-bedroom co-op they shared on West End Avenue in Manhattan. There just happened to be a blizzard in NYC that day. Their broker told them not to cancel. "You don't have tire-kickers coming out in a blizzard. They are serious shoppers." They sold for $435,000; $36,000 more than their asking price.

Never cancel an open house already scheduled because of mother nature. You never know what or who you'll miss.
