  Speaker 3: it's a fun thing that they do, and the kids
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: have a great time lining up sidewalks and getting candy
• 16:22

• 16:24
  Speaker 3: it's a pretty cool thing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So oh yeah, absolutely, Well, I think it's probably going
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to be around the three o'clock maybe that they head out, So.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is that earlier than normal, mister you know, might
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: be wrong.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: No, no, just can't find it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like I feel like there was
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's earlier. The whole the whole block
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: two to five is earlier that it has been in
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: the past. So I'm not one hundred percent, but it's
• 16:48

  Speaker 3: It's for a good fun cause.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I know we'd like to talk about, you know,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: what we're seeing in the market, what we're seeing with interest, right,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: So I can tell you. So I was talking to
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: an agent a friend of mine this past week, and
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: she had a open house at a home in off
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the two eighty area, And do you know how many people,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: she said, came to our open house. It was priced
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: at three seventy five, which is a good price off
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the highway to Edy area. Do you know how many
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: people they have at their open house?
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking it must have been really high for I
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: play in the game play you're asking me this, So
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna guess really high that they screw this up.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: But seventy eight seventy eight, Wow, that's a lot of people, John,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I gotta guess how this one too?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why not just forgive it?
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: It sounds like go under from what he said, I
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: think you can beat me in this.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: John, Okay, sixty two very close. So it was sixty people.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: That's amazing, right, that went to an open house. Now,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I will say I've had we had this like really
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: incredible property in Vestavia that was super unique. It was
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: like a mid century modern on like thirteen acres and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: this was like this was I think right before COVID
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we had I think one hundred and fifty people coming
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: through our open house.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: That people are parties.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I think, well, like a husband and wife she count
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: as one because they're one buyer essentially.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a head counts a head count. Yeah,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: who's going to consume the but under eighteen doesn't count
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: as the hill.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Let's just say they went pretty quick. But anyways, like
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: some so you never know. Sometimes you're gonna get like
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a ton of traffic out of open house and there's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: days I'm twiddling my thumbs and I'm like, is anybody
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: even gonna show up?
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Y'all had one too, kind of north of Birmingham that
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: last year, I think Riley had That was maybe in
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the high thirties or mid mid forties or somewhere in
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: that range. That was that was a really cool price
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: point on this.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: You just never know. It's just it was out and trustful.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was one.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And we did have a bunch of people we had
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: like not offers on that yeahs and and so it's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: always fun when we have that kind of you know,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: action and reaction.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Gusty, can I ask a question as a non realtor here?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Is it considered in bad taste as a non realtor?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Right? Well, I mean I'm not even in the biz.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: So you know, sometimes there's an open house, like in
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: my neighborhood, and I'm always curious if I were to
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: tour the house, and I know I have no intention
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: of buying the house. Is that in bad taste that
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: I toured? I'm not talking about I eat all the cookies,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: but you know, just I want to kind of look around.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: No, we call them nosy neighbors. Yeah, and no, I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: think it's fine because I think you know, when you're
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: doing that, you're probably interested in what's going on in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood. What's the value of homes, how does that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: compare to you know, what your home looks like, and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: what is truly the value of your home? Because I
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: mean at some point, like I mean, we've got we
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: send out emails to a lot of folks in our
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: database every other week and talking about home values, and
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of people love to track what their value
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: is on their house. It's just kind of like, you know,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: if you ever go to Zillo and you get a estament,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: you kind of what it's a just an estimate. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: so I think it's totally fine. And I've met some
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: great folks coming to our open houses and the future.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Buyers people and they know and you know people, I
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: mean like it's just another set of eyeballs to go, oh,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: that house is pretty cool, and you talk to somebody
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: the next day or two days later. Great house, a
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: great house over my neighborhood. If I know you all
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: said were looking before. I mean, it's and again it
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: gives you some ideas. You may say, ooh, you know that,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I like that, ooh that that house is worth more
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: than I thought mine was. Okay, they did paint and
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: did this thing. If I ever want to do that,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: you know, it's yeah. I mean, I think that's just
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: being a good good in the community, just to get
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: out and go do it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: In those conversations, I'll just say, hey, you know, this
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: is a great opportunity for you to pick your neighbor. Yeah,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, if you've got any friends or family,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: because I mean a lot of times, you know, people
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: want their friends to move nearby, or they want their
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: family to move nearby, and especially if they've got like
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: younger kids, you know, or or whatnot.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, we have a lot of friends for your kids.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, we have a lot of phone calls if people
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: like like grandparents want to move close by. So I
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: think it's a great opportunity to say, like, pick your neighbor.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: But it's okay to be a nosy neighbor too, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: especially if they got some really good chocolate chip cookies.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It's okay to take time.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and when you're when you're perusing, if you want
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: to say, hey, you're using a lender yet you know?
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Or or hey, did you just have you sign a
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: buyer's agent your law? Because I can mow your law
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: for a hundred bucks a week.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: You can give up some referrals too.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just never know, Like at an open house
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: it's gone to work, you just never know who's good
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: one to walk in, and so it could be a neighbor,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it could be somebody that's a super interested party, or
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: it could I mean, you just never know. It could
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: be I've even had former owners of homes come to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the house. They wanted to see what the person has
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: done to it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Can I go completely off a little bit and tie
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: this together a little bit to that point of like
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: just never knowing who you're gonna talk to and who
