Looking to make your open house stand out and tap a new open house market? Try hosting a Twilight Open House from around 5-8pm. Turn all of the porch lights on, use the outdoor firepit if there is one, have appetizers & background music. Everyone is so busy on weekends. Maybe a weekday would be easier for people to come to. Try a Thursday night. Not everyone has the weekend off. The thought of something new might entice them. Host it like an event, not just and open house. How to get them there?
- Send out an eflyer to local agents or mail invitations.
- Send out an invitation via mail to the neighborhood and nearby neighborhoods. If you're feeling up to it, walk the neighborhood and hand out the invitations.
- Give some invitations to your sellers to invite their friends & family. Sellers can be your best resource for word-of-mouth advertising.
- Post an ad on Craigslist and other classified sites.
P.S. Twilight can be a great time to get beautiful home shots that really say Welcome Home.
