This will make sure you have two full weekends of increased buyer traffic.
As a buyer, please keep in mind that the 4th of July is actually a slow holiday itself, the weekends and days around it are what typically drive the traffic. Our Showing Company is closed on 4th of July and often Sellers are entertaining or grilling, so it’s harder to physically get into see the houses on the 4th. Make sure you schedule ahead of time if you want to view properties around the 4th of July.
