Technology is great to give you an idea, but it's no substitute for seeing the place yourself. Also, when you rely on making appointments you often have 3 or 4 schedules at play (e.g.husband, wife, seller's agent, buyer's agent, etc.). On the other hand it is much simpler to clear your schedule for a few hours on a Sunday. In today's market, you might also get some buyers who might not be looking in a ceratain price category and are hesitant to make an appointment for something that is 15-20% above their max. However, attending an open house for a property is easy. The seller's agent might mention that the sellers are very motivated and the buyers may actually consider making an offer...

I found open houses useful when I was first starting my search - it gave me a better idea of what was available at what price. I also think it would be useful in helping buyers determine which town or neighborhood to move to. Further, I think some buyers would want to check out open houses before signing on with a buyer's broker. So I still see a use for open houses. I’m a condo owner who bought three years ago.

I have 3 listings right now and I don't receive many calls during the week on those listings, but several qualified buyers come to my open houses on Sundays. It's obviously a good oppurtunity to pick up new clients, but that's not why I host my open houses. I believe Open Houses will continue to be very popular in real estate. People like to touch, see, and feel the biggest purchase of their lives. I think Open Houses are very useful, but I’m a broker, not a buyer.
