WITH PLENTIFUL INVENTORY, low interest rates and still very affordable prices, real estate professionals have scheduled 78 open houses Saturday and Sunday in Port Angeles and Sequim.
It’s the Olympic Peninsula Open House Weekend, part of the seventh annual Washington Association of Realtors Statewide Open House Tour.
The open houses — at single-family homes, condos and townhouses — are designed to kick-start the spring-summer selling season.
A special section in the Friday-Saturday Peninsula Daily News lists the open houses, including photos, descriptions and addresses.
About 45 percent of all buyers used open houses as a source in their home-search process last year, according to a study by the National Association of Realtors.
Women are more likely to use open houses than men.
Older buyers rely more on open houses than younger buyers, and buyers with higher incomes also are more likely to visit open houses, the study showed.
