Boston real estate annoyance: This may be happening more often than you think
Your Boston real estate broker calls you and tells you good news there’s a downtown Boston condo for sale that just came on the market at they’re having an open house this Sunday.
A few hours latter your told the Boston downtown condo open house is cancelled
Why Downtown Boston Condo Open House are Cancelled
The number one reasons to cancel open house is if an offer is accepted before the open house (which locks the seller to the buyer):
Thus, seller sets in immediately, so to keep the potential Boston condo buyer happy and committed to them and the buyers doesn’t feel like the sellers is shopping their deal around, and
Or the listing broker cancels the open houses to keep attendees from resenting the tease of seeing the condominium but not being able to buy it.
