Colorado Open House Guide
Visiting open houses is an important part of the home search process! Open houses give home buyers an opportunity to peak inside homes for sale, get a sense for different Colorado cities and neighborhoods, and connect with local real estate agents.

The Advantages of Attending Open Houses
Nearly half of all home buyers visit open houses as part of their Colorado home search. Whether you’re just starting your home search or are seriously considering a specific home for sale, attending open houses can give you valuable insight for your home search. There are many advantages to attending open houses -- here are just a few:
 | Size up the Competition As you're looking at a home for sale, you can also take in key information about other home buyers. Take a look at the check-in sheet when you first enter the house; a lot of visitors indicates a competitive market. Listen to other people's comments as you tour the home - they may notice something you did not. Mind your manners, but don't be afraid to ask questions. The REALTOR hosting the open house can provide insight into the housing market and neighborhood, not only the specific home for sale. |
 | Learn from the Neighbors An open house is a great way to learn about cities and neighborhoods across Colorado. Local residents often pop in open houses to look at nearby homes for sale. This is a great chance to ask questions and learn about the community first hand. Strike up a conversation with the locals to learn more about the neighborhood. |
 | Take a Closer Look As you walk through the home, pay attention to more than just the décor and floor plan. Open houses give you the chance to check water pressure, look at closet storage, and see rooms that aren’t included in home listings photos. Prepare for an open house in advance to get the most benefit from your visit. |
