Set workable showing arrangements before listing rather than deciding each request from scratch. I would help you balance opportunities for home visits with the notice and preparation your schedule requires.
For Troy single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the latest market report includes 195 homes listed for sale. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $450,000. Reported housing supply, measured in months, was 2.67. These are townwide listing measures, not appointment schedules or measures of showing activity.
Those figures cannot determine how much notice you should require or when visits should take place. My advice is to make your showing instructions clear enough that a request can receive a practical answer. Broader scheduling options may be worth considering, but they must fit the arrangements you can reasonably maintain.
Identify times the home can be shown and decide how much advance notice you need before approving appointments. Create a short preparation routine covering personal belongings, valuables and the rooms visitors will view during an approved visit. Discuss how requests outside your preferred times should be handled so we can respond without making assumptions about availability.
