Best showing conditions
Use dry daylight for exterior, roofline, drainage, driveway, yard, garage, and foundation observations. After rain, check basement, grading, gutters, water staining, and exterior pooling.
Best buyer-tour planning
For buyer showings, check school schedules, local events, traffic, sunset, commute routes, and weather before deciding whether a property should be toured, driven by, or held for another day.
Showing weather FAQs
What weather makes a showing harder?
Heavy rain, high wind, snow, extreme heat, limited daylight, and poor travel conditions can make exterior review, roofline review, drainage checks, and buyer travel harder.
Which local calendars should buyers check?
Check the city, county, chamber, school, and local event calendars for the area being toured. Large events can affect parking, travel time, noise, and buyer impressions.
Should I tour after rain?
A post-rain showing can be useful when the goal is to check grading, gutters, water staining, basement moisture, exterior pooling, and driveway or yard drainage.
