8 Signs Your House Showing Went Well (And an Offer Could Be Imminent)

As a seller, getting a showing request is a big moment. As you fluff the throw pillows, sweep up crumbs, hide the pets, and turn on all the lights, the excitement starts to build. You might try to temper your expectations, but there’s always that underlying current of hope: “This buyer could be the one!” The showing comes and goes…and you wait for the follow-up call from your agent. Sometimes you hear nothing. Other times, you might hear feedback like “the buyers liked the house, but it needed too many updates,” or “they loved the floor plan, but are looking for a more private lot.” This cycle of anticipation and letdown can be draining and discouraging. But once in a while, the response after a showing is unmistakably optimistic. If your agent shares any of these telltale signs that a house showing went well, the buyer could very well be on the brink of making an offer.
