Define, “Extreme Cold”
There’s a simple reason you seldom see Realtor open houses in Minnesota in January cancelled due to cold: there’s no guaranty it will be warmer a week later.
Case in point: exactly one week ago, when my client and I were wavering due to local temps in the single digits.
We went ahead with the broker open as scheduled, and in fact, had a very good turnout (about 20 agents through).
Fast forward to today, when temps are again (still) in the single digits — except today a brisk wind made it feel even colder.
P.S.: Blizzards and heavy snowfall — which are actually infrequent here, national impressions to the contrary — are another story.
