I really don't like that idea. Not only that, once you do a big price reduction it is permanent and it can be looked at as a gimmick. I also don't think the public is focused on buying a home today.

Never thought of a BLACK FRIDAY SALE for real estate. The owner would really need to be motivated, and if they are, many options are available.

I WOULD try "Left-over Turkey, dressing and Cranberry SANDWICHES"

to drive some traffic.

Nice house Good luck! I've never tried Black Friday sale but have been successful with ONE DAY ONLY sales. It's all in the pre-marketing and marketing strategy by creating a buzz and lottery like atmosphere. People will wait on line to win the lottery and buy the property.
