How often does a second showing result in an offer? (buyer's agent, listing)

Trying to not get my hopes up... but wondering anyway.

Maybe half the time, depends too on whether or not they have the inlaws or outlaws with them, and whether or not they have a house to sell first or are cash buyers. If more than two days go by and you hear nothing, you can pretty much forget it.

I usually have my folks narrow their list to their top 2-4 homes and we'll go back for 2, maybe a 3rd showing attempting to decide on the one.

I would say a 2nd showing results in an offer 25-50% of the time.

Based on my experience, I would say 25% - 35% of the time in my area. (Long Island)

In Raleigh, NC, When I am the listing agent, I'd say between l/3 to l/2 of my "second showings" result in an offer.

When I am the buyer's agent, I'd say 75% to 100%. There is so much inventory here that when I take a buyer out to look at homes, we only go back for a 2nd showing to the one they are ready to make an offer on.

Sometimes....some buyers if they need a second look they just didn't like it enough to write the first time so they won't like it enough the second time either.

Sometimes they liked it enough to write an offer but wanted to see it a second time before they did.

No way to really answer because it depends on your buyers personality type.

i've had 2 2nd showings , and one third showing, but still no offer. we are very frustrated. i'm in nj.

Well, it turns out we did get an offer... quite a lowball.. we negotiated though and settled on a price I'm a bit sick about, lol... but in this market.. and the fact that we relocated.. we didn't want two housing payments for God knows how long. The inspection was on Friday, I hope things went well.

Thanks for letting us know...hope all goes well!
