It depends.  What are you serving?  It may be a low attendance as most people take this day off to reflect or recover from the previous day/year.

I wouldn't do it.  I would think low attendance w/ late start to day and football games later.

If I had a client desperate to sell, then I suppose I would consider it.

But seriously, if someone is serious enough to buy, wouldn't they go through their agent and request an appt?

For me no day is ever a good day for an open house; I don't do them. 99% of my clients request up front that I not do them. But somehow, I think a Sunday Holiday with lots of football, visitors, etc. may not be the best day.
