Open Houses
There are many benefits of viewing open houses for prospective buyers:
- Preview several homes in one day.
Open houses give buyers an opportunity to tour multiple properties in one day with short notice and without setting any appointments. - Real Time Comparison.
Buyers will form first impressions while seeing a home for the first time. Since they are viewing many properties in the same day, they can remember how seeing each home made them feel and what they liked and disliked about the house, neighborhood and the surroundings. They can compare homes values based on their personal preferences of what features, layouts and look and feel they would like their new home to have. There are many neighborhoods in Santa Barbara and oftentimes without actually finding yourself on the grounds of the home it is hard to compare. You could be looking at a home tucked away in the mountains or one with a beach view. There are also homes with convenient city and school access. - Ability to Ask Questions.
When the buyers visit open houses, they have an opportunity to speak with the real estate agent and ask specific questions they may have about the house. There are many unique homes in Santa Barbara and as a buyer you can ask detailed questions about the home history, local neighborhoods and find out details that may not be available online. - Â Assess the floor plan and living space.
When you visit a home in person during an open house, you can actually get a feel for the space as you walk thorough it. You can imaging how your furniture and belongings would fit in the specific layout and how you would feel in the different rooms. You can also see how the light hits different rooms at different times, and many buyers look at that when selecting their bedrooms. This is especially true when living in coastal communities such as Santa Barbara, Montecito and Goleta, where a sunset view from your window can justify the price of the home.
