With the big game just a few days away, a lot of agents automatically write off Super Bowl Sunday as a “no open house” day. But here’s something to consider. Not everyone watches football.
While kickoff out west isn’t until 3:30 pm, that actually creates a nice window earlier in the day. Hosting an open from 1 to 3 pm can still catch serious buyers who would rather house hunt than sit through pregame coverage. In fact, some buyers intentionally use quieter weekends like this to shop with less competition and less crowd pressure.
Historically, Super Bowl Sunday can be a bit slower for open houses, but slower isn’t always a bad thing. The traffic you do get tends to be more motivated and more focused. Fewer lookie loos, more real conversations.
If you’re already available and your listing is ready to show, it can be a simple, low effort opportunity to capture buyers while other agents stay home.
Sometimes the best strategy is showing up when others don’t.
