Florida Open House Weekend
Home Sellers to Welcome Thousands of Buyers in April
To offer buyers the convenience of touring dozens of homes for sale in one weekend, the REALTOR® Association of Miami-Dade County members and their clients hosted open houses on April 10-11. It was the first-ever statewide open house weekend and was sponsored by the 115,000-member Florida Realtors.
It’s a home shopper’s dream. For the serious buyer, the opportunity to tour dozens of homes in one weekend was a real time saver. Others who didn’t think they could afford a home were drawn into the market by affordable prices and low interest rates. It’s a win-win!”
The Florida Open House Weekend came just before the April 30, 2010, deadline for the federal homebuyer tax credit. Homes need to be under contract by April 30, 2010, and closed by June 30, 2010, in order for buyers to take advantage of up to $8,000 in tax credits.
This event offered people a convenient way to see as many homes as they want in one weekend and gave our members a chance to be part of this fantastic effort to match buyers to their sellers.
The weekend was a fun way to attract buyers and help them learn more about what is available in the local housing market. Blue balloons, featuring the Realtor “R” in white, decorated those homes that are part of the statewide open house campaign. Balloons were on display simultaneously at open houses from the Panhandle to Key West.
