Mega Open House Weekend is April 15-16

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty will conduct its next Mega Open House Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, April 15-16.

In Northeast Florida, new listings are up 8% over a year ago, and up 4% month-over-month. Pending sales are up 10% month-over-month. While increased listings provided buyers with more inventory to shop, it is still a seller’s market with a 3.4-month supply of homes. According to the National Association of Realtors, mid-April is the best time to put a home on the market.

The Mega Open House Weekend features open house viewings of the company’s listings of available homes. The listings encompass homes in a range of prices, styles and neighborhoods throughout Northeast Florida. Along with the in-person open houses, the event features virtual open houses on social media.

Go to OpenHouseNEFlorida.com for a list of open houses. Go to facebook.com/FloridaNetworkRealty or instagram.com/FloridaNetworkRealty to view the homes virtually during the event.
