How To Hold A Unique San Diego Open House
Posted by JD Esajian // May 17, 2011
As we’ve mentioned before, holding an open house is an excellent way to bring in potential buyers and show off the property. Particularly in San Diego, an open house can be a great way to sell your home quickly. When you’re trying to sell your home, try these tips for a truly unique San Diego open house:
- Give the home truly unique curb appeal. One of the best parts of living in a warm climate is that you can focus on curb appeal year round. Rather than dealing with feet of snow in the winter, you can always have bright, beautiful flowers. Take advantage of the great climate to make your house truly shine – inside and out. Try making your open house into a fun event featuring exotic plants and flowers. An open house that’s an “event” draws more potential buyers.
- Try a virtual tour. Virtual tours and open houses are all the rage and can draw interest in your home from across the country. Host a virtual tour and give people in other state (and possibly even other countries) a taste of what your home is like. Particularly in a “hot spot” like San Diego, a virtual tour may garner lots of interest.
- Hold a “neighbors-only” open house. One major problem that plagues many open houses is “looky-loos,” or neighbors who just want to swing by to see the inside of your home. By inviting your neighbors to tour the home early, you can cut down on the amount of neighbors during the open house itself, while also building word-of-mouth. Perhaps your neighbors have family who have been looking to move into the neighborhood.
- Consider hosting an event. Poetry readings, cooking classes and workshops have all been held as part of open houses. Not only does this draw in more potential buyers, but you can also showcase your home in a fun and interesting way. It gives buyers an idea of the lifestyle they can live in the home – which is particularly important in San Diego.
If you’re selling a home in San Diego, an open house can be your best bet for selling. Try making your open house unique and interesting. Not only will it draw in more potential buyers, it may also help you sell your home quickly and easily.
