When I list a home, I would hope to have at least 5-8 showings in the first 2 weeks. If I have less than that, I will check with other agents who have similarly priced listings, and see if they have gotten showings - it might just be a slow period, so I'd want to look into that possibility.

I also ask the agents who have come to my broker open house whether thy have any potential buyers to gauge what the activity level might be.

You will (or should) get the most flurry of activity in the first 2 weeks.............after that, it will slow down a bit, but I would hope there would be a few showings at least every week or two.

If, after 2 weeks however, we have had no showings, and indications are that there are buyers out there in that price range, I will speak to my seller (actually, we will have already planned for this when we listed)...and discuss our strategy moving forward.

If, after 30 days there were no showings, a reduction would be my strong suggestion.??

There are several factors that are typically good indicators if your home is reasonably PRICED, in a desirable LOCATION, and in move-in CONDITION.
a. The first couple of weeks of your listing is the most critical; don't list until your home is show-ready and the marketing plan is in place.
b. Most show-ready homes are viewed several times within the first couple of weeks before the number of showings decrease. Feedback? This is so important. You can't fix something or change a price if you don't have feedback.
c. If you have not received any showings and the weather is decent, revisit comparable home sales within your immediate area. How does your home compare? How are you marketing your home? Would you be interested in seeing your home if you were a buyer??

You will likely find the first few weeks are going to get you the most showings so everything has to be picture perfect. Price your home to sell. I often have clients that say that they are willing to sell much lower then what they want to list their home. Get a good CMA of homes in your neighborhood, with similar features and see what has sold and how many days on the market. If you have a good deal of showings and not any offers there is a reason that your home is being passed by. Be patient, days on the market are longer then before and more homes for clients to see. You are just looking for that one buyer so be ready when they show up at your door.

there is no real magic number, however you do tend to know when you are priced wrong because the showings just aren't there. In this market, buyers are afraid of over paying and often will simply skip a home if they believe the price is too far above market.

If you are getting consistent showings that's a good sign. There is simple a lot of inventory on the the market right now, and buyers have many options and are in no rush to pull the trigger "So to Speak!"

Realtor Four - Boise, ID

There really is no "magical" average number of showings, as it is dependent upon the number of buyers for the category your house falls into...

If you are getting showings, be sure to ask your agent to share the "feedback" from each of the Buyers with you. Listen to that feedback, as it may relate to price or condition of the property. This will help you adjust one way or another to get your property sold!
