I was watching this tv show last night where a family gets to 'test out' a potential home for 24 hours to see if they want to buy it. What do realtors think of this? Is it more harmful than helpful for a seller? Homeowners...do you think that you would have changed your mind about your house if you got to test it out before making your purchase?
As a seller I would not/do not want this. I don't want some stranger living in my home for 24 hours just so they can "test it out". Where do they sleep? in my bed? I think NOT! If I had this option before buying my house I would not have taken advantage of it. Oh i forgot to mention that commercial drives me crazy. I'll probably never watch the show just because of the commerical.
As a buyer I would not do this. The sellers belongings make it like staying overnight at someone else's house, not like being in your own house with your own stuff.
I don't think one night is enough to get a true sense of living somewhere, unless it just purely awful

the commercial IS pretty annoying. However...if I did do this I admit that I probably would have chose the other condo in my building I was looking at even though it was more expensive.
condos maybe but not SF for the exact reason evey suggested. I can't think of anything you're going to discover in 24 hours in a single that would cause you to not buy. Driving by a property at different times will give you the same results. I don't think that show will last.
I think so, too. I wouldn't want people test driving my house.
