You are getting ready to tour a house when suddenly it starts raining. Or you got held back at work, and you need to reschedule for later. Why would anyone go to the house during those times? I will tell you why it’s the perfect time to push through with the appointment.
Rain
The perfect opportunity to see how the streets around and outside the neighborhood get is when it is raining. You can also see any leaks around the house—that wouldn’t be noticeable without the rain. Do you have a signal? Can you text, make a call, or check the HAR.com website for other similar homes around the neighborhood? The little details matter most when making a big purchase or long-term lease.
Evening
If you see the house in the evening and live around Houston during daylight-saving times, by 5:30 p.m., you may notice that the sun is ready to go down for the day. Does it look like Downtown Houston with all the cars parked on the street, or is it a noisy neighborhood …at night!!?? Are there unusual critters you know about that made themselves known during the showing? Are there enough streetlights for nighttime pedestrians? These are questions that may not be popping up otherwise.
While experts may agree that the best time to see a house is during the day, you can still see features when you go to alternative times. The goal is to find a home you want to live in, regardless of the weather or time of day.
