Open House

How do you find out if that house you've had your eye on is going to have an open house? Unfortunately there is not one magic source that can tell you about every open house. You can look in the newspaper classifieds. Also, look at a variety of websites for agents and local real estate brokerages. OpenHouse.com offers a list of open house dates and times. Probably the most common way for people to find open houses is to look for signs as you're driving around. Sometimes you'll see it advertised a few days before the open house on the yard sign. Otherwise, look for directional signs leading you from the main road to the open house during the actual event. Most open houses are on Sunday afternoons, but it is becoming more common to find them on Thursday evenings or Saturday afternoons as well.
