“Party of Five” — Or Twelve
If a dozen people came through your Realtor’s Sunday open house, would that qualify as good traffic?
It all depends.
If the 12 people were the couple contemplating buying, 4 of their friends, 2 siblings, and both sets of parents . . . I’d say, “no,” not really (and yes, I actually had such a group come through one of my open houses once).
On the other hand, if twelve individual Buyers came through, that would qualify as good traffic.
Which is why Realtors will typically quantify open house traffic in terms of number of discrete parties through — not number of bodies.
