During open houses and showings, help set the mood in the house by playing music quietly in the background. Choose the music carefully; try jazz or classic music, so that you appeal to the majority of potential buyers. The music will help to set an atmosphere and create a mood which will help potential buyers picture themselves living in the house. It will also encourage people to linger longer and spend more time in the house.
