Getting the most out of an open house
Plan a route before the weekend. Pick three or four homes close together, check the times, and leave enough time to look around the street and the area, not just the house.
Look past the staging. Check the windows, the roof and the furnace age, look for water stains in the basement, and open a few closets and cupboards. For a condo townhouse, ask what the monthly fee covers.
An open house is a first look, not an inspection. Before you buy, read our home inspection guide and learn how offer conditions protect you. New words on a listing? The condo glossary explains them.
Visit with an agent who works for you
The agent hosting an open house represents the seller. An agent who represents you works in your best interest: they can tell you what similar homes sold for, point out problems, and help you write an offer.
Not working with an agent yet? Open any city page above, pick the open houses you'd like to see, and we'll meet you there. Already have an agent? Please contact them to book your visits.

Common questions
When are most open houses?
Most public open houses run on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, usually for about two hours. Many are added on Thursday or Friday, so check back late in the week.
Do I need to book before going to an open house?
No. A public open house is open to anyone during the posted time. You'll usually be asked to sign in at the door. If you can't make the time, ask for a private showing instead.
Should I bring my own agent?
It's a good idea. The agent hosting the open house works for the seller. An agent who represents you works for you, can tell you what similar homes sold for, and can help you write an offer.
Why are there so few condo apartment open houses?
Many condo buildings limit open houses because of security and elevator rules, so most condo apartments are shown by appointment. Detached homes and townhouses make up most open houses.
What should I bring to an open house?
Bring your phone for photos (ask first), a list of questions, and a measuring tape if you want to check room sizes. Write down notes before you leave, because homes blur together after a few visits.
Can I get an email when new open houses are posted?
Yes. Open a city page and turn on open house alerts. We email the full list of upcoming open houses for that city every Friday evening, so you can plan your weekend.
