      Take Full Advantage of Open Houses

      Take Full Advantage of Open Houses

      Published 11/22/2024 | Posted by Arda Clark

      If you’re looking to buy a new home, open houses can provide you with many opportunities to make your new-home hunt more fruitful. You can learn about the sellers, the neighborhood and the details of the home. If you’re able to, try to time your visit for when there are very few lookers roaming through the house. In a hot market, an open house may be the only time to see a property.

      Any time you’re going to an open house, you’re looking at the home. You should also be learning, though, not just looking. Walking through a home will help determine what amenities you can afford at a certain price. You can make market comparisons by visiting several open houses.

      Don’t just pay attention to the home itself. Be tuned in to the conversations of other visitors, and you will benefit from the insight of others about the home and the neighborhood. If you can get one-on-one time with the listing agent, find out all you can about the seller and the motivation behind selling the house.

      The home’s surroundings are also important. Get to know a prospective neighborhood by taking a walk through it. You will be able to see the pride of ownership, learn the traffic patterns and find out more from meeting some of the neighbors.
