Home Buyer Tips for Visiting an Open House

In the meantime, there’s a lot of information out there for sellers staging an Open House, but surprisingly few guidelines for the people who come to view them.

For some, an Open House viewing may simply be an impulse activity to satisfy their curiosity about a neighbor’s home. However, for serious buyers, especially First Time Buyers who have limited experience in seeing different home styles and layouts, visiting Open Houses can be a very worthwhile exercise.

To plan an effective Open House tour, you should start with downloading the Open House Guide, the new list is updated by 5pm every Friday) and includes a map! Plot out the addresses of where the Open Houses are located, and the times of showings to ensure that you make the most productive use of your time.

If you don’t already know the area, then the Open House Guide will be the first place to start. Look at your map, and see where major transportation links are located, as well as parks, schools, shopping and amenities. If everything you see on the map looks good, then start out with a driving tour of the area itself, before you devote some time to viewing individual houses.

Feel free to let us know how the weekend of touring turns out by tweeting us at @CBPacific, or visiting our Facebook page.
