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\u2019s always that underlying current of hope: \u201cThis buyer could be the one!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The showing comes and goes&#8230;and you wait for the follow-up call from your agent. Sometimes you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/why-isnt-my-home-selling\/\">hear nothing<\/a>. Other times, you might hear feedback like \u201cthe buyers liked the house, but it needed too many updates,\u201d or \u201cthey loved the floor plan, but are looking for a more private lot.\u201d This cycle of anticipation and letdown can be draining and discouraging.<\/p>\n<p>But once in a while, the response after a showing is unmistakably optimistic. If your agent shares any of these telltale signs a house showing went well, the buyer could very well be on the brink of making an offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"geo-cta widget-cta

Lagrois<\/a>, a top agent in Rochester Hills, Michigan, says that an agent calling back immediately after a showing is the surest sign that the tour went well. It\u2019s promising if the agent asks whether there are any other offers, whether the price is negotiable, and what the closing terms are. \u201cIf there\u2019s no call [from your listing agent], the chances of a forthcoming offer are slim,\u201d says Lagrois.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, some agents call after every showing, even if there\u2019s no exciting news to share. So it\u2019s not just the call itself that\u2019s important, but the information it conveys.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Sign #2: The buyer lingers.\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If someone is in and out of a house in just a few minutes, it\u2019s safe to assume the property didn\u2019t pique their interest enough for a closer look. But if a buyer remains in the house for an extended period of time, that\u2019s a good sign that they are seriously considering buying.<\/p>\n<p>Lagrois says interested buyers also tend to hang out after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/house-showing-tips-for-sellers\/\">showing<\/a> is over, perhaps lingering in the driveway for a discussion with their agent.<\/p>\n<p>The length of the visit can be telling, too. A five- or 10-minute pop-in probably isn\u2019t a good sign, but if someone spent half an hour or longer in your home, that indicates a deeper level of interest.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Sign #3: The buyer requests a second showing.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If a buyer wants to return for another showing in order to bring more family members or friends, that signals they are considering making an offer, but want to get a trusted second opinion first. (Of course, the challenge here is that the home must also win over the new visitors!)<\/p>\n<p>But keep in mind that the buyer could be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/what-is-an-open-house\/\">scheduling<\/a> second showings at a few different homes because they\u2019re having trouble deciding between them. And while a return visit is a sign of continued interest and could potentially lead to an offer, Lagrois says that in his experience, it usually only takes one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/tips-for-showing-your-house\/\">showing<\/a> to solicit an offer if a buyer is really excited about a home. \u201cThis is particularly true in a seller\u2019s market, when buyers are more motivated to make quicker decisions,\u201d Lagrois adds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19661\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19661\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"666\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen-666x381.png\" class=\"attachment-content size-content\" alt=\"A kitchen in a house where a showing went well.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen-666x381.png 666w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen-64x37.png 64w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen-128x73.png 128w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen-192x110.png 192w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen-432x247.png 432w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen-500x286.png 500w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-kitchen.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19661\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/a> Source: (Sidekix Media \/ Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Sign #4: There\u2019s a focus on the details.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>General questions about pricing and closing terms are pretty standard, but if the buyer\u2019s agent starts drilling down into finer details like homeowner\u2019s association bylaws, the age of specific components of the house, average utility costs, and whether certain furnishings or fixtures can be included in the sale, that\u2019s a telltale sign of significant interest.<\/p>\n<p>Another positive indicator is if the buyer focuses on a single specific area of the home, whether it\u2019s the kitchen of their dreams, a cozy window seat, or those two perfect hammock trees in the backyard.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Sign #5: The area is highly desirable to the buyer.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Lagrois has had agents call him with a buyer who is waiting for a property to become available in a certain community, neighborhood, or street. If they see a house that looks good and meets their location criteria, they\u2019re more likely to jump on it and make an offer \u2014 even if it doesn\u2019t check off every single box on their wish list. This might be for logistical or practical reasons, but it could also stem from the buyer having an emotional connection to a location, which can be a powerful factor in choosing to purchase a home.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19660\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19660\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"666\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining-666x381.png\" class=\"attachment-content size-content\" alt=\"A dining room in a home where a house showing went well.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining-666x381.png 666w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining-64x37.png 64w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining-128x73.png 128w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining-192x110.png 192w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining-432x247.png 432w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining-500x286.png 500w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signs-your-showing-went-well-dining.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19660\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/a> Source: (Cassidy Mills \/ Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Sign #6: The buyer starts nitpicking at the little things.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>It might not seem like criticism is a hallmark of an interested buyer, but if a prospect starts to point out small items around the house, like \u201clook at those cracks in the wall over there by the window\u201d or \u201cthat old light fixture might need to be replaced,\u201d that indicates they are examining the property closely and are thinking about the changes they would make as the new homeowner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis shows they have a real interest in the property \u2014 if they weren\u2019t interested, they wouldn\u2019t be making any comments at all and would just move right along to see the next house on the list,\u201d says real estate investor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jonsreal\/\">Jonathan Lerner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Sign #7: The buyer starts mentally making the house a home.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This might not be something you\u2019re privy to, but if a buyer chats about the home in terms of them living there, that\u2019s a strong sign that an offer is imminent. \u201cWhen a buyer begins talking about where the best place for furniture would be, which family member will be getting which bedroom, or what color scheme and decorations will work best in different rooms, they are already picturing themselves owning and settling into the home,\u201d says property investor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com\/owen-dashner-partner\/\">Owen Dashner<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"geo-cta widget-cta widget-cta--content     widget-cta--dark widget-cta--dark-blue-gradient\">\n    <div class=\"widget-element--content\">\n        <div class=\"widget-element--content-header\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"homelight logo\" class=\"widget-element--logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ccprototypev5\/images\/logo-small-cta.png\" width=\"106\" height=\"25\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                <h3 class=\"cta-headline widget--bold\">Ready to start shopping for a home?<\/h3>\n                        <p>A top-rated agent can help you negotiate a great deal, spot red flags, and introduce you to homes that best suit your needs.
