I'm in the Maryland, DC, VA area and it's not common
at all to ask your guests to take their shoes off.  In
carpeted homes or hardwood. They would probably get
some real funny looks. When I was a kid, there was a
neighbor across the street who insisted that her
family and visitors take their shoes off, but we just
thought she was strange. 

Me personally, however,I prefer to go barefoot in the
house no matter what season and don't really care if
my guests feel comfortable enough to shuck their shoes
while their visiting.
