Orem ¢ 801 426-6900 ' ' Neighbors attend open house to spy, not buy EAR MISS MANNERS — Notlongago,I put my homeupforsale, and myrealestate agent scheduled an open house.It took place on a Sunday afternoon. A numberof people came, andI noticed that manyof them were neighbors. I was on good terms with these people, but not by any meansclose friends with them. When I asked them — politely — “Whatbrings you here today?” many said that they were “just kicking the tires;"they had no intention of buying a new home and they weren't looking on behalf of a friendorrelative, . either. I foundit appalling that these people could be so openly nosy andintrusive ( about my property andbelongings (and, by extension, GENTLE READER — Why would you wantto start feuding with your neighbors when you are aboutto be rid of them myfinancialsituation).It's not that I had anything to be ashamedabout, but their interest seemedto boil down to two very base, vulgar questions: “Whatdoes she have that I don’t have? And what do I have that she doesn't have?” T felt really uncorniort= ablein this situation.If their concernshadonly to do with how myproperty value was affecting theirs, surely there were morediscreet ways to obtain that data.I was raised to believeit’s rude to make financial or material comparisons with your neighbor, or even withrelatives, for that matter. But myreal estate agent saysit’s common for “nosy ENTER STREE © MUSICAL STREET-'\ presents by moving away? Judith Martin Miss Manners neighbors” to show upat open houses. They cheerfully greet theseller, with no shamewhatsoever.If this happens at my next home sale, is there a polite way I can shqw these busybodies to the door? Miss Mannersis not a defenderof nosiness,but she can think of more benign reasons for your neighbors’curiosity than the competitive one you assume. They might have been looking for decorating ideas or the presentation of your house for sale because they are considering selling their own. Even potential buyers are irritating to those selling their houses, because they get to observe the personaleffects of those with whom they are not onsocial terms. Miss Manners advises leaving the matter in the hands of a capablereal estate operator and goingto the movies. el C7 PLAYHOUSE RNC Ca directed by Kate Lowder Feb. 24 & 25, 7:30 p.m. (Fri, Sat. only) Some ofyour favorite broadway music from: Guys and Dells, Aida, Wicked, Funny Girl and Chess, te name a few.
