OpenHouse: The Investor's Timesaver

Some advice for all of you potential homebuyers: OpenHouse.com is a website that may save some precious few hours of your weekend.

It enables users to search for open houses by zip code or state, giving buyers the ability to plan and schedule around the times of the open houses they’d like to attend.

Buyers are able to browse pictures, virtual open houses and videos of properties. Even better is the feature that lets users plan a route of open houses–optimal for the investor looking out of state.

After trying a few searches, I learned that searches for properties are optimized by searching by city rather than zip code. While this could be a useful tool in the future, the site is just too new to list a concentrated number of properties in one zip code.

A search for Las Vegas, Nevada brings up 37 listings, all showing this weekend.

I also quite appreciate the site’s simplicity. It’s refreshing to see a site do one thing, and do it well. I’ll keep you posted as I learn more.
