Open House Weekend kicks-off homebuying season

ELKO, Nev. – April 15, 2013 – Among recent U.S. homebuyers, some 45 percent attended open houses in order to narrow their choices and find the best home for them.

House-hunters currently in the market, meanwhile, will have a similar opportunity during the Realtor Nationwide Open House Weekend taking place April 20 and 21, and sponsored by the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). Agents across the U.S. will be present at open house events to answer questions about local market conditions and the overall homebuying process.

“Buyers need to have a clear idea of what features are important to them and know where they are willing to compromise,” explains Lee Gurr of Coldwell Banker Algerio/Q-Team Realty in Elko County, Nev. – one of many brokerages across the country that are taking part in the event. “That is where visiting open houses can be helpful. Also, working with a Realtor can be a real asset. Realtors visit hundreds of homes with buyers each year, and have a unique understanding of what buyers value in their local markets.”
