You may or may not agree. I think a rainy day is a perfect day for looking at houses. You can tell if the gutters are working, if the roof is leaking....and other things that can only be discovered on a rainy day.
I'll never forget the cutest apartment we were looking at. It was a beautiful, sunny day. The apartment was great! Couldn't beat the location! And the price, wow! We couldn't believe this was even available. We wanted it bad :) And the landlord was great, too. We were going to be signing the lease on the 15th, but he allowed us to move some belongings in way before that. Nice guy :)
I couldn't wait to start taking some boxes to the new place. It was a rainy day, but that didn't bother me. It's only water, right! The first thing I noticed when I got there was the waterfall pouring from the roof directly in front of the front door. Good thing there was another entrance. The next thing I noticed was as soon as I opened the door. It hit me right away. A terrible odor. ugh. From what I can remember, it was a bad mix of musty basement/filthydirty oven/and dog urine. It was gross. There was no way I was leaving any boxes there, let alone moving in! Thank goodness it was raining, or it would have been too late by the time we found out.
Thank you Mother Nature, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!!
Anyone else have any rainy day stories???
The bad part about rain days is that I show Mountain View Properties in North Georgia, and the clouds block the view.
You must be getting the rain we had yesterday! It's sunny here in Ohio for about another hour!

Whenever I show properties, on a rainy day, I tell my buyers that it's a great opportunity to see the houses at their worst. "If they look good and have no water problems today, think how great they'll look on a sunny day."
Love showing homes in the rain. Not only will you see if the roof leaks, you can also see how water runs or pools near the house.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who can appreciate a rainy day :)
and Greg, I can see what you mean - maybe take some pics of the spectacular view on a great day, and create an awesome panoramic that can be displayed at the property with the sign-in sheet, etc..... this way potential buyers will know what is behind those clouds!
